Help Meg Run

The healthy versions tonight.

I’m trying to eat all my favorite foods before I jet off to Sydney, and these two are definitely near the top of the list.

First up is homemade pizza! I loooove this recipe. I’ve made it several times perfectly, and tonight was no exception. Note that the dough takes a few hours to make, but it’s super easy and totally delicious.

After I rolled out the dough, I drizzled it with a little olive oil and added a thin layer of tomato sauce. I topped the pizza with sliced zucchini, summer squash, mushrooms, olives, and spinach. Then I crimped the dough a little on the outside to make a crust and attempted to slide the pizza from the pizza peel to the pizza stone in the oven. Note the word attempted. This is how the pizza looked after I topped it:

And this is what it looked like by the time it was out of the oven:

Yeah, there was a little issue getting it on the pizza stone that resulted in an ugly side. But it still tasted delicious!

So, so good. The crust is just perfect. The pizza made eight slices, and I had two.

And then it was time for dessert.

Homemade banana-almond butter-chocolate ice cream! Three of my very favorite foods in one little bowl.

Before you think it’s all fancy, this is the easiest ice cream to make ever. In a food processor, I pulsed together two frozen bananas. When the bananas began to break up, I stopped the processor and added a tbsp. of almond butter and a chopped up chunk of dark chocolate. Then I turned the processor back on for a couple more minutes until this delicious, super-thick banana soft serve appeared.

What a perfect evening of foods. And the best part is, I have leftover pizza for tomorrow.
