Pizza, pizza, pizza. Who am I?

Lately I’ve been having such rando cravings, I feel like a preggo!  (Don’t worry Mom…)

I had frozen pizza just the other day, and yet, the following TWO days I had pizza as well.  Seriously.  Who am I?  This is pretty odd considering pizza is not exactly a food I would typically associate with strong feelings of lust.  Growing up, it was never a food I especially craved.  As fun as pizza parties were, discovering I was lactose intolerant at such a young age severed any chance of forming the quintessential bond that most kids form between the cheesy goodness.  So, why now?  What’s the deal?

No clue.  But, why fight it.

Pizza #1 was leftovers from the previous night’s Amy’s soy cheese pizza.  Not as good reheated because the crust just doesn’t have the same crispy outside and warm, fluffy, doughy inside that the oven made wonderful.

Pizza #2 on an english muffin with tomato paste, hummus, and LightLife’s Smart veggie crumbles.  Hummus is definitely a tastier alternative to cheese, not that I remember what cheese tastes like…

Pizza # THREE is a charm, two is not the same, I don’t see the harm basically the same as it’s predecessor, but on a pita and with nooch sprinkled on top.

1,2,3…They were all pretty awesome, but I think it’s safe to say I have now had enough pizza to last me until 2011. 

Do you ever have cravings that seem really random for you?  Things you never thought you’d find yourself actually yearning for?

Anyways, I did have other non-pizza meals, too.  Such as this chimichurri seitan salad.

I love WF’s take on Candle’s seitan.  I need to figure out how to make it on my won because it is definitely my favorite prepared item at Whole Foods (aka where my entire pay check goes). 

Steamed sweet potato rounds + crunchy peanut butter chunks + sweetened dried cranberries = another successful dish.

Crack-a-lackin’ while watching football.  These wheat thins squares went almost as fast as the hummus! 

This salad was thrown together in 7.26 seconds and I was shocked by how much I loved it. 

Minimal ingredients included spinach, spiralized zucchini, steamed sweet potatoes, and dried cranberries with a balsamic vinegar dressing.  I should always put potatoes in my salads, because I find myself singing their praise every time I use them as a central component in my salads.  One of these days I’ll catch on to the pattern.  As my grandpa says “even the monkeys learn.” 

As usual, I ended my days with a sweet note.  Fresh fruit is one thing, but soy ice cream is a completely different thing.  Add in some vegan chocolate chips and that scrumptious sundae is presenting a serious threat to my beloved dessert fruit bowls.
