Ok, today I spent the majority of the day preparing the ingredients for what was supposed to be an awesome-to-die-for pizza. It was okay but not at all worth the amount of effort that was put into it. It started at 10 o'clock a.m. - I put together the mostly whole wheat pizza crust recipe from Mark Bittman's Food Matters cookbook. Next I needed to roast some garlic and precook the bacon. I also sauteed mushrooms and had to reconstitute the dried tomatoes. I made a version of Emeril Lagasse's white sauce for pizza minus the cayenne pepper adding the roasted garlic to the sauce. The sauce seemed a little bland and the pizza dough should have been much thinner. I will try a different version!
The salad was a mixed greens salad with defrosted blueberries, granny smith apples, crumbled bacon, feta cheese with a blueberry dressing found at this website. I also made Cinnamon Roasted Almonds to put on the salad and these were the best thing I made today.
I also decided to cook a pot of brown rice to use for the rest of the week.
Tomorrow I am planning on making Thai food and hope that it was worth the cost of the condiments.
