Steve and I made the most delicious pizza recently and I must say there is nothing low fat about this one! But how can you resist bread, cheese and bacon all in one?! You can use either freshly made pizza dough as we did with the
BBQ Pizza or you can use frozen pizza dough that has been thawed out.
White Sauce:
2 cups milk
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves of minced garlic
2 tbsp of cornstarch
2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp white wine
salt and pepper to taste
Toppings:
2 cups of mozzarella
8 strips of bacon chopped
1 cup mushroom slices
1. To make the sauce, saute garlic in olive oil until soft. Mix in cornstarch, salt and pepper. Slowly add milk, wine and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil and stir frequently until sauce thickens - approximately 2 minutes. Set aside.
2. Roll out your dough and place on an oiled baking sheet. Spread the sauce over the dough (you may not want to use it all - depends on how creamy you want your pizza) and sprinkle half of the mozzarella. Top with bacon and mushrooms and then with the remaining cheese.
3. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or until crust is golden.
Love love love these wooden vases by Off Cut Studio! They are available in different wood species and are only $15. An epoxy coating has been applied to the inside to make them waterproof. They're perfect AND they're made in Toronto!
I'm a huge suckers for 'basics with a twist', so this open back tee is right up my alley. It also comes in a khaki colour which means I'll take one of each colour thank you!
The Carrie Diaries was our 2nd book chosen for The Bold & Beautiful book club. Some of the girls in the club received their copy of the book too late and weren't able to finish it before our meeting last week. The overall consensus of the book was that it was cute, light and entertaining. It was definitely a fluffy book and geared towards teens, but overall we all enjoyed reading it. The book is based on Carrie Bradshaw's high school years growing up in a small town with big dreams of moving to the big apple (pre Sex and The City days). Some of the book club girls had a hard time believing it was the same Carrie we all know and love, but I totally saw that Carrie in this book. She was still that bold and quirky girl with the crazy fashion sense!
