| I don’t have hobbies. What I do partake in are periods of obsession where I glom onto a specific recipe and make it for 1 to 2 weeks before I get bored and move on. Last week, it was chicken thighs for lunch and dinner. Now, I’m in a home-cooked pizza mood.
|
| But I’m not craving just any pizza. I’m *particularly* interested in a meat-free white pie. And today’s recipe has everything I want to eat (and then some). |

| It’s pizza party time! |
| Usually when I make pizza dough from scratch, I also whip up my own red sauce. Everything tastes fresh and just feels more rewarding knowing that I made it. However, all of that effort — while worthwhile! — is exhausting. There are so many steps to producing a delicious-tasting tomato sauce, including roasting tomatoes, chopping up LOTS of garlic, and actually cooking it so that the flavors blend together. |
| That brings me to this cheese and asparagus pizza recipe from our friends at Wellos. There’s no sauce — just layers of cheese (mozzarella and parmesan) and asparagus atop a premade whole grain pizza crust. You’ll be eating a savory pie in about 10 minutes! If you want to go the *extra* mile, plop an egg in the center — after the pie has finished its first cook — and put it back into the oven until the egg whites have set. |
| Me, you ask? I’m absolutely going the distance! |

| I am DONE with lifting heavy pitchers to pour water into cups. My arms are tired! So I switched to a larger filter system that sits in the fridge — all I have to do is flip a switch and gravity does all the work for me. I am never going back. |
