Pizza and Pancakes

No, not at the same time, silly! Last week I was really craving pizza, which proves to be problematic when you can't have dairy... So I decided to see what I could do about making dairy-free pizza! I searched long & hard for mozzarella-flavored soy cheese, which I finally found over with the tofu (which is seriously located in a different spot in every store I go to). Once that was secured, I got pizza sauce, pepperoni, and finally Pillsbury pizza dough (after ensuring that it didn't have any dairy product in it).

I got home & immediately baked it, just following Pillsbury's instructions. I have to say, soy mozzarella is a lot like soy cheddar- it's alright, unless you know what the real thing tastes like. I survived & had a few pieces of the pizza, mostly because I was hungry and had spent quite a bit on the ingredients, mostly the dough-- seriously worth a lot of dough... pun intended :) (Gosh I'm funny sometimes).

I wish I could say I just left that to rest, but over the weekend, I bought myself some delicious bagels from Noah's bagels, and for dinner tonight, made myself bagel pizzas! Though I did only put "cheese" on one half of the bagel. I wish I could say the pizza was a good decision. It tasted great, but now I'm having some good, well-deserved, stomach-is-hating-me heartburn. I think it was probably worth it.

Tomorrow, I'm planning on creating some deliciousness for breakfast. I'm going to make dairy-free/egg-free blueberry pancakes in the morning for me & my housemates (sorry Danny, but I won't be getting up before 7 to make some for you...) I ran to the grocery store tonight to buy some Almond Milk so that Bridget can have some (since she is allergic to soy...) Yay! I'm excited, even though this means I have to get up about 15-20 minutes earlier than usual. I think it will be worth it.

Perhaps one of these days I'll remember to bring my waffle iron down with me so that in the morning, I'm makin' waffles! (Shrek, anyone?)

AND (I almost forgot to mention this...) I found chocolate sorbet! Yay for an almost ice cream-like substance that I can eat!
