What...Pizza.... Again ????

Happy Friday! It snowed here again late yesterday afternoon, which left the roads in pretty slick conditions. I was not a very happy camper on my way home yesterday. I do NOT like driving on ice, which was what was under the beautiful snow....YIKES! I so wanted to take a snow day today, but my husband got me to work all safe and sound (Yay!). I had to find out the hard way that snow days aren't as much fun when you don't get paid for them.

I am very thankful that we didn't get a huge snow and get snowed in, because we are out of almost everything. Our frig is bare! I don't think it has ever been this empty. No milk of any kind, no juice, no veggies...nada! Maggie has a few muffins left in the frig and we have cheese...that's about it. With that being said, you can imagine how big my grocery list is.

Tony found some sliced bell peppers that we had put in the freezer a while back, and I found half a bag of frozen spinach. After some scrounging around for a few minutes, we came up with enough things to make a pizza. My half consisted of Prego mushroom sauce, vegan mozzarella cheese, vegan sausage, onions, red bell peppers, frozen spinach (thawed and cooked a bit), garlic powder, basil oregano, salt and pepper.


Oh and we had some pasta also. What a carbolicious dinner!

I think I am going to have to start making weekly goals instead of yearly goals. I'm not doing so hot with my yearly goals. So, my goals for next week are:
eat less carbs
no oreo cookies for my night time snack :-(
eat more veggies
eat a salad a day
work out at least 3 days
study one hour a night
use my cookbooks
I have high hopes and determination for these weekly goals! I hope everyone has a great weekend!
~Peace~Love~Happiness~

    I hate driving when it's icy, too. I don't go very slow, but it always seems like there's someone right on my arse in those conditions. So..... I go slower, cause I'm a brat like that. :)

    I tend to make weekly goals, too, that are in tune with my overall goals. I think you're on the right track and they all look very doable!

    Haha, I'm very familiar with the dramatically-different, split-down-the-middle shared pizza ;)

    I love the impromptu pizza! I never do quite so well tossing stuff together from the freezer and cabinets.

    Hi,
    I'm actually doing a research thesis for my undergrad studies at ucsd and my topic pertains to vegan food blogging.
    I feel as though blogs, of any form are an interesting way to be able to connect to people of similar interests. For me, when I made the switch to veganism (a little over a year ago now) I sought out blogs as a means of a support system.

    I was wondering if you could give me some insight into why you specifically keep a blog? Why you started blogging? and what, if anything, you feel you gain from others blogs?

    Any insight you could give me into the importance of blogging for you would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time,
    Richelle

    ps. Anyone who has anything to say on this topic, please feel free to email me!

    I think I turn to carbs so often because they are so easy, of course my love for them sure doesn't happen matters. :o)
