Pizza for parent survival

We usually go to library story time on Tuesday mornings but I wasn’t in the mood to go after our fiasco the night before.  So instead I dragged my butt to stroller strides.  I’ve been having arch issues in my left foot which may be contributing to my lackluster efforts in the exercise department so it was good (and very necessary) to be out with a group of friends pushing me to actually exert myself.  Also, I needed to unload all my emotions about our freak incident that landed us in the emergency room.  Phew!  My foot was really acting up so I definitely have to figure out what is up there.  I did everything anyway, which was probably not the right move, and now it’s for sure messed up.  Doh!  If I don’t have exercise to let off steam, I’m not sure I’ll survive parenting these kids!!

I didn’t take a photo of the donut I had, but I went to Starbucks to hang out with a friend before our big kid pick up.  Not enough coffee in the world for being a mom.

I had the same salad for lunch but guess what – I am out of butternut squash!!  Need to add that to this weekend’s prep so I can continue that vegan salad deliciousness.

PIZZA NIGHT!

Ever since V and I went to pizza school P has been wanting in on the action.  I had already anticipated this and bought crusts that weekend so we were all set to go on Tuesday night.

BTW, here are some iPhone photos from pizza school!

The pizza school was at Woodstock’s here in Davis.  I’d never been before, but they have both vegan and gluten free options so I’m definitely inclined to try it now!

Back to Tuesday…they picked the toppings – cheese, pepperoni (applegate), and bell peppers.  Simple enough (and way better than the “everything” pizza Valley created at pizza school).  I loaded them with two kinds of vegan cheese (Daiya cheddar which we already had on hand and TJs mozz).

I made both the Vicolo crusts for them and had the TJs cauli/corn crust for myself.  I really like both options (Vicolo even makes GF crusts).

I practiced MAJ restraint and ate 80% of the pizza, as opposed to the whole thing.  Impressed?  We have leftovers (Kyle’s not home) so there will definitely be another pizza party in the future.  Pizza and kombucha pretty much fix everything in life.  So I went to bed feeling ready for Wednesday.
