Weekend Meals, What I Ate on a Saturday

3/9/2019

Ah the weekend is here and there is nothing like a lazy Saturday with nothing on the schedule.  It rarely happens for me, so when it does I soak it up.  Most Saturday mornings, my husband and I like to go for a coffee or breakfast date. We use this time to catch up with each other on our week and to talk about our relationship and our passions. The conversation really flows when we have this relaxed time together over a meal. This Saturday morning, we opted to make breakfast at home. I made my Tofu Scramble substituting fresh spinach for the kale and kept the hash browns on the side.  I discovered these maple flavored breakfast sausages from Field Roast which taste even better when you fry them in a bit of oil, browning them on each side.

We ate a late breakfast so my next meal was an early dinner.  I was craving pizza and instead of delivery, I decided to make it myself.  I haven't made pizza in a long time at home because I hadn't found crust or a vegan cheese I love for pizza (not that it needs it, but I do love cheesy pizza).  Today I used this pre-made pizza crust which was simple and ready to be topped right out of the package. I also tried 2 different mozzarella cheeses, each on one half of the pizza - the So Delicious Mozzarella Shreds and the Miyokos Vegan Mozzarella. I preferred the Miyokos by far, it didn't have that vegan cheese taste (you know the one) and it melted similarly to fresh dairy mozzarella.  
I found I needed to keep the pizza in for a few minutes longer than the recommended time on the package so the cheese would melt. I topped my pie with fresh jalapeños and mushrooms, sliced marinated artichokes and olives. I served it with a simple spinach salad drizzled with balsamic and olive oil. I intended to put the spinach on the pizza but forgot about it so I topped my pizza slices with the salad and it added a nice fresh bite along with the doughy, cheesy, salty pizza. ​While I love delivery from my favorite local pizza spot, it's nice to have this alternative that was ready in just about 20  minutes - faster than my local joint and even faster than Dominos 😜.
