Recession.

A birdbath alternative.

Homemade Pizza / Recessionizza

I’ve waited days for my cold/bronchitis to go away so I could use the ingredients I bought last week to make pizza. It is now day eight and I’m still coughing, congested, and frustrated. This evening, I decided I did not want to wait any longer.

Even though I love pizza, I do not eat it too often because of health and economic reasons. I usually buy Amy’s frozen pizza to mitigate the health concerns, but afterwards I feel guilty for spending six dollars on such a small frozen serving. Having just opened a Mint account to budget myself, I have become ultra aware of my spending and decided it was time to start making my own pizza. For my first attempt, I kept it easy and used whole wheat pita, low-fat mozzarella cheese, Muir Glen pizza sauce, garlic, fresh farmer’s market asparagus, onion, and kalamata olives (thanks roomie!). Delicious. In the future, I plan to make the dough and sauce myself and also get more creative with the toppings.

Where am I?

I’m still alive and well! And very sorry it’s been so long!

laziness + recession + full time job + 5am wake up = foodie blog failure

When I get home from work I am too exhausted to even turn on my laptop (where the magic happens). I know, excuses. I will try my best to post more often. I promise!

But for now -  kitties! (Found on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica.)
