LeeLee and I missed one another for dinner tonight – he had a nighttime meeting and I worked a little later than usual, so I ended up dining alone. But never fear! I was not subsisting on crumbs here at Chez Recessionista. No, instead I feasted on homemade pizza.
Well, technically, not every component of tonight’s meal was homemade. I cheated a bit and bought a roll-out pizza crust from the store because I didn’t want to fool with waiting an hour for handmade dough to rise tonight. But it’s still homemade in my heart!
First, I heated up two veggie burgers and then chopped them up. As they cooled off, I warmed up the dough on a pizza pan in the oven for about 8 minutes and then topped it with pizza sauce, slices of mozzarella cheese, the burger crumbles, and some sliced mushrooms. Then I baked the pie for another 14-or-so minutes, rotating the pan once to ensure the crust browned evenly. And then I pulled it out of the oven triumphantly, cut it into eight slices, and feasted! (Not on all eight slices, mind you.)
I’ve got plenty left over for lunch tomorrow (or a late-night dinner for LeeLee tonight if he comes home hungry!), which is always a bonus! And only one pizza pan to clean up. Life is good!
