Sunday...No Mussels But Perfect Pizza & Soup

Well, Sunday didn't quite work out as planned either...the day was sunny and bright, but I wasn't. Somehow during the night I was visited with a whopper of a cold...so the plan for the day...stay home close to Kleenex and bed. No trip to the Mussel Festival this year. Nothing to do all day but read, nap and watch old movies. Isn't life hard!?!

So what about food? Well, fortunately for us, I have a stash of Split Pea Soup in the freezer...always nourishing of body and soul.

And, fortunate indeed, I had whipped up some Whole Wheat Pizza Dough on Saturday...thank goodness for the bread machine. Toppings...some grilled veggies (done on my Griddler)...red peppers, asparagus, sweet onions and oyster mushrooms over some left over Chunky No Cook Tomato Basil Sauce (again, thank goodness for freezers!). Cheese of choice this time....bocconcini.

All in all, a satisfying food day thanks to my favorite kitchen toys.
