Good afternoon! It’s a beautiful one here in NC — 60 and sunny! Matt was sick most of the weekend but is starting to feel better today, so we took a nice walk in the sunshine 🙂 It’s been a relaxing but fun weekend — last night was homemade pizza night at Elle’s! 004

 We like taking prom-style photos, don’t judge. (We missed you, Libby!) There were boys invited for the evening festivities as well but sadly Matt wasn’t feeling well enough to join. But he was sweet to make me go anyway since he knew I wanted to 🙂 The pizza was deeeeeelish — and whole wheat, too! We used the prepared whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe’s — just roll it out and top with deliciousness! Super easy. Everyone brought different toppings so we had fun mixing and matching! Roasted garlic, pear, & cheese: 002 Mushrooms, garlic, prosciutto, goat cheese: 010 Red peppers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, prosciutto, cheese & sauce: 013 YUM! I brought a tasty mixed green, beets, goat cheese, and pine nut salad for everyone to enjoy on the side: 006 And my friend Steph brought this awesome red pepper polenta with sautéed mushrooms. So good! 008 Dessert? A sliver of this completely epic Red Velvet Cheesecake that Elle made. I think she’s posting the recipe tomorrow! 015 Such a fun night. By the way — I finally got my recipe page all updated! Here are links to the new pages I created for my recent recipes: 036 047

013                             Yum, yum! I’m off to run some errands and get some school work done. Matt is sticking in town this week and working from home since he’s still not feeling super awesome — it’ll be nice to have him around 🙂 Stay tuned — I just made some seriously amazing Peanut Butter Banana Bread — recipe coming tomorrow!

    I just love TJ's WW dough. We usually throw as many veggies as we can possibility fit on it with mozzarella and goat cheese. :) Homemade pizza beats the pants off delivery.

    I love our prom photos but what I love most is that we take them EVERY time there's a clubhouse gathering!

    I love Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough! It makes life so much easier, and it is so good! Plus, you cannot beat the price. 99 cents works for me!
