Week 48: Pesto, Tempeh Bacon, and Shaved Brussel Sprouts Vegan Pizza

Though we haven’t yet ventured beyond our Covid pod to goContinue reading “Week 48: Pesto, Tempeh Bacon, and Shaved Brussel Sprouts Vegan Pizza”

Week 41: Banh Mi

The Banh Mi sandwich is really the only good argument for colonialism. Calvin Trillin As a vegan it’s hard to find sandwiches in shops.

No one could have prepared me for BBQ on pizza. I mean, both are great. But together? It was incredible. Pau Gasol There’s something about late summer that calls for the flavor of barbeque.

Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself.
