...Pizza Night...Movie Night...

...well...the 'movie'...was actually the last two episodes of Indian Summers...it was all a little bit predictable...but I really enjoyed the series...

...and I really wanted Pizza for dinner...we'd not had pizza in quite a while...

...so I made the dough...

...and let it rise...

...and I made a really simple sauce for this Napoli style pizza...whole Italian tomatoes...fresh garlic and a few leaves of fresh oregano...blitzed with the blender stick...

...once the dough had proofed...

...I twirled and stretch the dough into pizza shapes...I don't toss it in the air...tried that...failed...

...and I sprinkled some semolina (a.k.a. Cream of Wheat) onto the bottom of our sheet pan...

...got the oven really hot...500° F...

...drizzled on some olive oil...

...and then swirled on the sauce...

...not too much...just a good covering of sauce...

...a generous sprinkle of Vegan Parmesan...

...remember the vegan cheese I froze last weekend...

...I got that out and crumbled it over the pizza...

...and then sprinkled some fresh basil leaves over the whole thing...

...and slid it off the upside down sheet pan onto the preheated pizza pan already in the oven...we used to have a pizza stone...but I've not seen it since the move...

...baked until bubbly...

...sliced...

...and served...

...a whole pizza for each of us...delicious...and there will be leftovers for lunch tomorrow...

...what have you been watching?...the Man will finally get to choose again next week and he will need some good ideas...

~Have a lovely weekend!

...Gingerbread Overnight Oats...

...I've been loving these overnight oats lately...and I know they're not very photogenic...

...they're so easy to put together...and then you can have them for brekkie or a snack...anytime...

Gingerbread Overnight Oats

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tsp chia seeds
1 tsp ground flax seed
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1 Tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup almond milk

...just put all of these ingredients into a jar...and refrigerate overnight...I prefer it cold...but you could heat it up...of course...

...how do you like your oats?...I'm trying some savory oats next...

~Have a lovely day!

...W.I.A.Y...

...I had made a batch of probiotic yogurt...and I just let it drain longer until it had a cream cheese like consistency...

...then I added in some leftover almond milk pulp from the freezer...

...and mixed that in...

...and then Ijust stirred in a veggie dip packet...

Breakfast - bagel veggie cream cheese, tangerine

Lunch - Daiya Cheese on toasted homemade bread, Salad

...I had gotten a bunch of sweet radishes...and they still had the greens attached...

...so I gave those a quick sauté...

really only enough for one person...me...

Dinner - baked tofu, green beans, sautéed radish greens, oven fried potatoes...

Snack - a peach and pomegranate smoothie...not my favorite combo...so I probably won't be doing that again...not sure why...the Vitamix does a good job of making it smooth...and I love the flavor of both the pomegranate and the peach individually...just not good together...

...your turn...what did you eat yesterday?...

~Have a lovely day!

...W.I.P. Wednesday...

...now that the Easter Sweater is finished...I can get back to some N.O.A.H. work...I don't think y'all have seen this project in quite a while...since before Christmas...

...I finished the Granny Squares for the border for the GREEN lapghan...

...and stitched those together...there are seven 3-round Grannies along the bottom border and then nine up the sides...and of course seven across the top...and I went for symmetry...of course...

...I'm planning on using the big skein of dark green for the center...and right now...I'm planning to incorporate a few stitches of randomly spaced random green...just a few stitches to break things up a bit...using up some of the little leftover bits...we'll see how that goes...it's just an idea...and I may not like the outcome...

...but there's just something so satisfying about using up unwanted-unloved-leftover bits of yarn...

...so to get started on the middle portion...I picked up the outside stitch of each square...starting at the top and going down each of the side border strips...and then across the bottom border...

...where I'll begin knitting stockinette stitch...picking up one of the side stitches on each row...like I did with my Niece's Baby afghan...and the B.A.B.Y. afghan too...it's a simple technique that saves seaming later...

...what's in your workbasket this week?...

~Have a lovely day!

...Tuesdays with Julia...

...we made a Vegan Salmon Mousse...

...and it was good...smoky...fishy...and smooth...served with artisan crackers...

...but this was actually better...we piped the leftover fluff directly onto some cucumber slices and topped them with a pinch of dill...

...and all of the particulars are over at The Vegan Version...

~Have a lovely day!

...Over the Weekend...

...I do our BIG shopping run over the weekend...usually on Saturday...and I'd made another batch of the Vegan Donut Holes...so I took some of those...a bottle of sweet tea...and a bottle of water to tide me over till I got home...

...and I was glad I had made and frozen a batch of Stretchy Vegan Mozzarella Cheese...

...because in between two of my stops there is an awesome second hand store that I usually pop into...just to see if they have anything that I "need"

...that's how I "found" the Hematite Yarn for this year's Prom Shawl...

...anywhoo...I found this awesome Hand Grater...still in it's box...for 50¢...and thought it'd be perfect for grating some vegan cheese...

...so I popped the frozen cheese into the grater...

...and gave it a few turns...it worked perfectly...

...I grated that block of vegan cheese onto a plastic lined baking sheet...

...so I could roll it up and put it back into the freezer...

...and while I was gone...the Man chopped up another gallon of sauerkraut...so happy about that as I don't want to run out...ever...

~Wishing you a lovely start to your week!
