It was better last time, sadly. But, I did make my own crust this time, using an amazingly easy recipe out of this Sara Moulton cookbook. She’s my hero. Well, she was my hero before because I’d worship anyone who was or is or might be on the Food Network, but I like her even more now because the pizza crust recipe was really good and very easy to work with it.
Oh yeah, and I’m back on the cheese. This was a celebration.
Anyway, I’d post the recipe, but it wasn’t that good (I used refried black beans this time, and we didn’t have any cilantro) so refer to the last one if you want good Mexican pizza and not just okay Mexican pizza.
The rest of my life has been rather hectic and I’m sorry but I just haven’t had time to post as much as I used to. I have been doing things like working and eating Sun Chips. But I did find some time to catch up on The Hills with Jack the other day:
I know our apartment is a mess in this picture, but check out how enthralled he is. He hates that Spencer Pratt as much as the next guy.
And, let’s see, what else? Chris and I are staying in New York for Thanksgiving because it’s too much trouble to do anything else. We are going over to a friend’s house and I promised I would make an apple pie and crab dip. For the crab dip I plan on incorporating lots of things like cheese and mayonnaise (Mom, can you send me that recipe with the cheese and the mayonnaise?) but I am supposed to make the apple pie vegan and I’m a little stumped because as far as I know, butter is what makes pie crust so good. So if you have a good vegan apple pie recipe, and you’d like to send it my way, I would love to steal it. I promise to show pictures of the final product.
I love that Jack dislikes Spencer! Spencer is the WORST! I’ve heard he’s actually that douchy in “real life.”
I too like Sara Moulton!!
Love Jack sitting at the laptop
Sounds like you have a nice Thanksgiving planned!!
**This is a good vegan apple pie recipe:

Oh man, tasty looking pizza!!!
Ha – even Jack watches the Hills!! I’m pretty sure its everyone’s guilty pleasure. And YAY for being back on the cheese!!
I love the Harvest Cheddar sunchips. LOL. =)
But yum pizza!
Love that pic of Jack!! So cute. And I’ll send Aunt Jane’s recipe soon.
I use Earth Balance (a vegan’s best friend!) in my pie crust. It gets soft very quickly at room temperature, so it’s a little tricky to work with, but it still comes out really, really yummy! =) Someday I may experiment with a mix of EB and non-hydrogenated shortening, but I’ll do that after Thanksgiving. I’m going with what I know for now! Happy Thanksgiving!
That pizza looks really cheesy and good. I love the picture of your dog watching the hills and especially that he hates spencer. he is a smart dog.
i have no idea how to make a good vegan crust!
I keep trying, but I usually end up making apple crisp, you can easily do that vegan, and my cousin (who is one) says its awesome.
(she likes it with soy icecream….)
I hate that Jack is watching The Hills.
This weekend will be a steady diet of The Wire and sports for him.
You will not make my Jack into a Jackie.
I made your Mexican pizza like a week ago and it was sooo good! I added grilled chicken (cubed) tossed in hot sauce though. I know you don’t cook with meat, but I thought that I would share in case any other meat eaters wanted to try it. The hot sauce gave it a little extra kick and it was really good. Thanks for the recapie!
i love how he is watching too!
cheat. go to whole foods. in the freezer section by the icecream and stuff they have frozen whole wheat pie crusts. they are amazing. and you get 2 for only a dollar or two. they make a fantastic quiche, if you are looking for something to do with the extra one.
That pizza looks great! It’s making me HUNGRY!
I love pizza! I bet I would even love that “bad” recipe. Congrats on getting back on cheese
Spencer was spawned from the douchiest of douches. I’d rather be stuck in a room with Carrot Top, Pauly Shore, and Jar Jar Binks than him, no lie.
wow that pizza looks so good!
