Daily Delish – Double up on those VEGGIES!

Daily Delish

Hello, friends!  First things first…have you entered to win a Gaiam Yoga Mat yet? What about the Manduka bag? OK, good.

So as you all jealously read, the Mister and I had an AMAZING experience at L’Albatros on Friday. We figured we’d continue our state of food-bliss and make the trip down to Vegiterranean (check out trip one & trip two). But this time was a little different. This time we brought VEGGIEGIRL along with us ;) (get the title now? VEGIterranean…VEGGIEGIRL…double VEGS!)

Per VG’s recommendation, I gave the Squash pizza a try. As described on the menu, the Squash Pizza contains “Marsala butternut squash puree topped with wild mushrooms, cippolini onions, baby arugula and soy mozzarella cheese.”

This was AMAZING. That VeggieGirl knows her stuff! I loved that the sweetness and creaminess of the squash balanced so nicely with the mushrooms and onions. I cleaned my plate on this one, SO YUM!

Instead of ordering dessert, I purchased a cupcake from a bake sale Vegiterranean was holding for Haiti — and you’ve all read my stance on supporting that cause in every way we can! This sucker was filled with raspberry goodness – DI-VINE (I was planning on saving it for later, but VeggieGirl said it best– “I dove right in” as soon as we got in the car).

Good food, better company. Can you think of a better way to spend the afternoon?

    Wow that pizza looks amazing! I’ve been on a serious butternut squash kick – so I might have to adapt this. I don’t know if the husband could deal with pizza that didn’t involve tomato sauce. He did like my feta, spinach and apple pizza I put together a while back so you never know.

    ah pizza is such a full proof way to make sure I get in my veggies – plus the calcium from the cheese, carbs from the crust – such a well-balanced meal!

    [...] A: My absolute favorite things to buy are when I’m getting ingredients to make a special meal. But as far as individual items, I love checking out new bars and nut butters – I’m always looking for new varieties! Also — when I’m indulging in a sweet treat, I ADORE shopping for sweets — especially baked goods. [...]

    That pizza looks so good. Pizza is one of my favorite foods I have decided. You can do so many things with it. I wish I lived in an area that had good speciality pizzas like that.
