Details details

Here’s a breakdown of a few of the meals from last week. First, the personal pizzas.   The only difference between Kyle’s pizza and mine was the cheese.  His was a cheddar and parmesan mix, mine was Daiya.   I used Vicolo organic corn meal crusts.  I’ve seen them at WF forever, but this was the first time I bought them.  Totally love them.  Going to buy them again and again and again now.  I can’t stress just how in looooove Kyle and I both were with these pizzas.   FYI, Vicolo is a San… Read more >

A Thanksgiving Abroad

This post is from my sister, who just hosted her first Thanksgiving.
