Cool Summer Veggie Pizza

by Leave a Comment

Looking for a healthy, easy, cool summer lunch? These taste great poolside OR in the comfort of your air conditioner. Get the recipe for Cool Summer Veggie Pizza at www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
Mom used to make this all the time when I was little. Cold summer pizza. It’s probably a recipe that started on the side of a Pillsbury package, but I have a photocopy of a years old handwritten recipe card.

It’s unmistakably Mom’s handwriting. Isn’t it funny how we come to recognize these little things and find a second of comfort in them? Mom’s handwriting, familiar stationery with worn edges, memories of sitting on bar stools, picking the radishes out my lunch. So arbitrary and yet heart-warming.

Carrot Muffins with Pineapple Cream Cheese Glaze

Carrot Muffins with Pineapple Cream Cheese Glaze - healthy enough for breakfast, sweet enough for that afternoon treat! At www.mybottomlessboyfriend.com
These are whole wheat.

Whhaaaa….?! I know. Whole wheat baked goods go against everything I stand for. If you’re gonna eat a bakery item, eat the real deal. Right?!

Except… These aren’t really cupcakes, they are muffins. And muffins are totally allowed — actually, muffins totally should be made in the healthiest way possible. A la the Bran Muffin, which is my fave muffin. Ugghhh, now I’m thinking about Carrot Bran Muffins — WHY didn’t I think of that when I was in the planning stages? Hmm… disappointed I missed that opportunity this go-round. These Whole Wheat Carrot Muffins will have to satisfy.

And sat.is.fy. they do.

Goldfish-Crusted Okra with Spicy Tomato Dip

Goldfish-Crusted Okra | www.theeverykitchen
I’ve been writing and deleting for almost an hour now. What’s the problem? It’s that I’m trying to make okra exciting.

Personally, I get really excited about okra.

But it’s really not that exciting. It’s a vegetable. It’s green. It’s slimy. A lot of people don’t like hate it. It’s either breaded and fried, like most Southern vegetables. Or stewed with tomatoes, like a lot of other Southern vegetables. It’s not super versatile.

This is the first post on my personal domain! I have no clue what I’m doing (as you can probably see from the current layout quirks). Naive me — I was shocked to find out that it’s really difficult to run your own site. “They” recommend that I hire someone to do all of this for me, but it’s very expensive. And now I know why. But hopefully, you’ll see this site becoming more personalized each time you visit.

And so, here’s a recipe and a post simply so I can take a break from my tech-heavy day. 🙂
