It’s a beautiful night, so I’m going to make this a fast one! I was planning on a simple meal of a quick pizza, but I didn’t take into account that I was using different flour for the dough… alas, I had to make it twice!
Then, I forgot to spray my pan, so my pizza stuck to the baking pan I’d used… it was not an easy dinner! It was, however, pretty and delicious! I swear, the full moon makes me mess up my meals every time, not to mention making me exhausted from the insanity at school.
Tonight’s beauty was:
1/2 batch 10-10-10 pizza dough
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup shredded light mozzarella cheese
baby bella mushrooms, sliced
chopped fresh broccoli
1 ounce Chavrie goat cheese
Baked at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes
Pried off the baking pan and then ripped into pieces because it had completely stuck

I never thought I’d be able to do what so many other bloggers have been able to… post pictures of myself in a magazine! Now granted, this magazine is local to Northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, but still! Check it out! The article is on MakeItBetter.net along with my recipe for Smoky Steak Tacos.
