Did you guys know that Saturday was Vegan Pizza Day?
What, you didn’t?! You did not celebrate?! Shame on you!
Just kidding! I didn’t know it was going to be Vegan Pizza Day either. But by chance, I saw it on a blog on Saturday morning, and also by chance, my friend Jen was planning on coming over on Saturday to, yes, bake a pizza!
Jen is my friend that Erin and I ran the Rotary Santa Run (5K) with in December. Jen is completely hilarious, honest and a blast to be around. I wish she would start a blog so I could get a little more of her each day (or each time she posted). Come on Jen, do it, do it, do it!
Have you ever met someone and thought, “Wow, this person is awesome, they should start a blog?”
Hmm, it sounds weird when I ask like that, but maybe someone can relate? Maybe? Or should I ask, Have you ever met someone and not wanted to read their blog anymore? Ha. Tell me all the dirt.
Anyway, on to the pizza and baking. Jen was actually over to make some Cookie Dough Lara Sarahbars (Peas & Thank You) and Pumpkin Pie Brownie ‘Cupcakes’ (Oh She Glows) while Steven was going to make the pizza. Let me just say, I should have been wearing my “Nom Nom Nom” shirt. YUMMY!
Making the Sarahbars (balls, really). Many ball jokes were told.
And the Cupcakes…
And now for the pizza. Steven has been wanting to make a deep dish pizza for a long time, and he finally did. And whoa. It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Like a slice of savory heaven. Ha.
For the record, he made 1/3 vegan and 2/3 with cheese.
Have you ever had a baking/cooking day with a friend?
To be honest, I was a bit nervous about doing all of the kitchen stuff – because I do not know what I am doing. But we all had a blast. Yay!
Oh, and Data had a blast too. He really liked Jen’s bag and the grass she brought him. Thanks Jen!
Yeah, I totally could have eaten the other 1/2 of the rest of my pizza but I didn’t want to look like a glutton in front of my friends. 😛 Next time, I’m going to eat the whole thing…just to warn you!
Ha! Next time, the three of us will split one pizza. Or maybe two?
Sounds like you guys had a great day! And that pizza looked fabulous – I’m real sorry I missed that holiday…
For the yoga DVD’s you asked about, I am doing:
-Yoga for Strength and Toning (Core practice sampler) by Stephanie Snyder (ordered from Yoga Journal)
– Daily Yoga with Tara Stiles (Jane Fonda’s New Workout series – I found this at Target)
That pizza looks amazing! And those balls look mighty tasty too.
That does look like good pizza! I would definitely try vegan pizza (I don’t like cheese much anyway.). Steven is so handy in the kitchen!
I always get excited when friends start blogs, but I usually assume that they will get bored and stop writing eventually…like, after the first week.
A lot of people do that, don’t they? My sister wrote a blog for a day and quit.
I should not have read this post before breakfast. Now I’m craving those pumpkin chocolate brownie things and I’ve never even had them!
You guys look like you had a blast!
Ha, YES– I have a friend (Mindy, she comments on my blog a lot) who I TOTALLY want to start a blog.
Looks like a great time!
I’ve been eating pizza, but it hasn’t been vegan, alas. Vegetarian is the best I can do in Germany!
Yum Yum looks really good! And data is so cute! Wanted to let you know I got the magnet photo holders! Now I just have to find a few pictures to put in them!
Yay! So happy they arrived!
Ok, I admit when I saw “vegan pizza” I was all, “what good is pizza with no CHEESE?!?!” But it looks delicious – guess I need to open my mind a bit more 😉
Ha. You crack me up. I need to have you over for some vegan deep dish. It is amazing!
The vegan pizza looks wonderful. Sounds like a fun day!
Frankie likes to get in those Whole Foods bags, too.
I love cooking and with friends who want to cook, it can be a blast. I used to do that with my Mom and sis a lot when I was younger. The most I’ve done lately is sushi making parties or pizza parties (roll out pre-made dough and everyone adds toppings). Your day sounds like fun. 🙂
And yes, I meet people and think they should start a blog but I’ve also met people who have started a blog and they can’t translate their personality to the written word.
That pizza looks really good. All of those food creations look good.
And there is nothing funnier than watching a cat play in a bag or a box.
