Pizza Party!
This week we fired up the grill for a special treat...
Homemade pizza!
We started off with Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza crust.
First, roll the dough out to fit the pizza stone.
Then brush with 1 TBS EVOO and sprinkle with italian seasoning.
Cover with your favorite toppings
(We used chopped ham, sauteed onions, and canned diced pineapple)
And grill away on medium heat for 8-10 minutes!
Behold!

Quark
No, not the atomic particle, the cheese.
The label calls it a replacement for cream cheese, but I think that it tastes more like a thick sour cream.
It comes in many fat percentages, costco only carried 95% fat free (aka 5% fat).
Spread on whole wheat toast with these juicy peaches for a great breakfast!
Check back later this week for a homemade quark recipe!
Have you ever made homemade yogurt or cheese yourself?

| I wish it had more bone-building calcium, but it otherwise has great stats. |

| After a few bites, I added some cinnamon, which finished it perfectly! |

Nuts for Nut Butter
Recently I have discovered a love for homemade almond butter. I was never a huge fan of the peanut variety, but almond butter is the food of gods. But until today, I had never ventured out to the world of other nuts.
Yesterday's costco trip brought back an exciting new find.
Definitely worthy of a thumbs up, and my dad seconded that.
Still not as good as almond butter, but still pretty good.
I can't wait to have this for breakfast tomorrow!
