Bar Review and Pizza Night

It felt like a long week. I had a ton of work to do and I finally feel caught up. I needed a boost this afternoon while working on a tedious lab assignment…

Oh, hi there SOYJOY sample! I have to admit, I’ve tried their bars before and was not wowed but this supposedly new and improved bar was pretty good!

It was banana flavored and sort of reminded me of banana bread. The texture of SOYJOY always takes me a few bites to get over, but the flavor was real tasting and not artificial.

After submitting my lab (!) and taking a little powernap (hey, I deserved it!)… it was time for pizza!

Not one, but FOUR blurry pictures of my pizza… grrr!  In real life, it was a good lookin’ ‘za, I swear!

I roasted 2 cups of chopped butternut squash coated in olive oil, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in the oven for 30 minutes at 425 degrees. While that was happening, I rolled out a ball of Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Pizza Dough. I brushed on a few tbs of Roasted Garlic EVOO and when the squash was ready (slightly browned), spread it over the dough. Then came the sprinkling of crumbled feta (about 4 oz.) and some freshly grated parmesan, 1/3 of a chopped red onion and some crushed red pepper. I baked it on a pizza stone at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes.

It was incredible. So much flavor… if it wasn’t for the fact that I got sucked into Sons of Anarchy, I probably would have devoured the whole thing!

So glad I didn’t, now there’s some for lunch tomorrow! Night!
