So even though I did exactly what I said I would do this weekend (nothing, pure unadulterated nothing), there was bound to be some good eats.
Saturday morning I woke up and made my all-time favorite breakfast, toast smeared with avocado, sprinkled with garlic powder and cayenne pepper and topped with over-easy eggs. So simple but so good.
Earlier this week I picked up Applegate Natural Uncured Pepperoni on my shopping trip, so I knew pizza was in the near future. Instead of picking up Publix dough from the bakery like I have been lately, I decided to make my own. I’ve done it plenty of times before, and it’s so easy. I follow this recipe, except I use all whole wheat flour as opposed to part white/part whole wheat and it turns out great!
Eating pizza on a Saturday night is good, but eating pizza on a Sunday morning is even better. I’ve been known to eat leftover pizza, straight from the fridge for breakfast. Old habits die hard? My mom would always yell at me “get a plate at least!”, but I mean c’mon, it’s pizza, you eat it with your hands anyway right?
Well, I decided to get a little fancy with my leftovers this time and heat it up under the broiler with an egg on top! Seriously I know this isn’t new, people eat fried eggs on pizza all the time, but I’d never tried it before and it was fab-u-lous. Eaten with a fork and knife at the table instead of standing in front of the fridge, I’m really getting fancy here. And the egg made it feel a little more like a real breakfast.
Breakfast number two on Sunday (because Sunday deserves two breakfasts instead of lunch) was a new smoothie combo for me: banana and coconut. I bought Oikos coconut greek yogurt at Costco (that sample lady totally veered me away from my typical Chobani purchase) and knew I wanted to try it in a smoothie. Banana, coconut yogurt, vanilla protein powder, handful of ice cubes and enough milk to get the blender going. New favorite combo.
For dinner on Sunday night we actually went out to meet up with a client and his wife from Andrew’s work (so I lied, we did do one thing). I made the mistake of suggesting a restaurant on Fort Lauderdale beach.. um hello? It’s spring break for almost every single college/university right now. Stupid. It was packed and it took forever to find parking. But as always in South Florida, the people-watching provided endless entertainment. I ordered a simple salad with grilled mahi-mahi and a papaya dressing, nothing to write home about. But the wife of the client has celiac disease, so I had an interesting conversation with her about gluten-free baking while Andrew talked business.
Eat anything good lately?
