Pizza and Salad: Friday, August 2, 2024

It’s Pizza Friday! Make your own pizza dough early in the day (Tips and Timesavers) or use a frozen, premade crust. I’ve even purchased frozen or chilled bread dough which also works for pizza. You may have 2/3 C. of leftover Marinara Sauce. If not, make some. 


Use Field Roast Apple Sausage (or equivalent) for this pizza. Everyone’s going to be happy with this meal!

Spinach Salad with Sliced Egg and Smoky Tempeh: Monday, July 29, 2024
