137.8...and a pizza party!
After yesterday's iphone fiasco, I poured myself a glass of vino to calm my anger/frustration:
Ahhh....much better!! Then it was time to get to business...homemade pizza! The sauce:
That's Cathi's secret tomato sauce...not sure if I can share the recipe yet. I made the dough in the late morning and stuck it covered in the fridge to rise. Here is it all ready to go:
I actually made two bowls of dough.....here they are in the pans ready to hit the oven:
I baked the crusts for 8 minutes and then applied the sauce and toppings. One was just cheese and the other had onions and green bell peppers:
The veggie one came out next:
I made a Caesar salad to go along with the pizzas. My plate:
I ended up having one more slice of pizza after this picture was taken. The dough tasted good but it was a little too thick and not crispy enough for my liking. I need to do some tweaking on it and then I'll post the recipe.
While I did the dishes and cleaned up, everyone made S'mores:
I did not partake. I had indulged enough already. :)
This morning my husband decided to take my son to school (my daughter doesn't start for two more weeks) so I leisurely got ready this morning. With my coffee, I had a light wheat English muffin with Barney Butter and some watermelon:
I'm really enjoying the watermelon this year. So juicy! I paid bills and cleaned up some desk mess and then went to both Cardio Muscle and Zumba classes. I was ready to workout this morning and was in a great mood (could it have been my leisurely morning?) so I really rocked both classes. Love that feeling!
I changed and grabbed Subway for lunch...standard turkey on wheat:
I was on the hunt for bulletin boards to put inside my pantry to organize school papers, restaurant coupons, etc. I went to a few different stores and finally decided to buy them at Target. I also got some hooks to hang up backpacks and lunch boxes.
My daughter and I picked up my son from school and then I came home to have a snack:

The cheese pizza was ready first:

Fiber One and Kashi Honey Sunshine cereals with blackberries and almond milk. I was still hungry so I had some (a lot) of Wheat Thins. Then it was time to get to work on hanging the boards and hooks. After a lot of measuring and realizing I (still) don't know how to work my drill, I rolled with a hammer and nails and it got the job done just fine (I think). I hope my dad isn't reading this....he'd be rolling his eyes right now. I have always been afraid of using a drill....nothing has changed.
I have dinner with a friend tonight so I need to get dressed. Hope everyone had a nice Monday?
Are you handy at home? Do you know how to use a drill? (If so...maybe you can help me.)
:)
I'm not very handy at home - I tend to rely on Austin for that. :(
ReplyDeleteUm yes, you deserved that wine! :(
Love the idea of rectangular pizza - smart!
I'm afraid of drills too. (and my dad is a building contractor -ahhh)
ReplyDeleteThat pizza (and crust) look perfect to me. Can't wait for you to post the recipes. We are always on the hunt for ways to change up our pizza recipes.
I am the least handy person ever. I have no knowledge of how to fix things!
