Tomato and Spinach Pizza

People look at me weird when I tell them that my favorite pizza does not have tomato sauce on it. Oh, and it doesn't have meat on it either. I love tomato and spinach alfredo pizza. When people think of good pizza, they generally think of red sauce, mozzarella cheese, and some basil on top--in other words, pizza Margherita. Don't get me wrong; it's great! But, when I think of good pizza, I think of white sauce, thick tomato slices, perfectly cooked spinach, and cheese.


One of my friends came over that day, and I decided to make everything from scratch. I'm so proud of myself. I used a really easy dough recipe I found here, and the pizza turned out so good. The crust was crispy, and the dough was so easy to work with. I shocked myself.

Tomatoes are good.

They are absolutely wonderful.
I've always dissed Food Network people whenever they make any kind of salad, but especially tomato salad *cough* Rachel Ray *cough*. Anyway, I bought some tomatoes. And, I made tomato salad.



I admit; I made this after I had just watched Julie & Julia for the fifth time (just because I was not swept up by it, it doesn't mean I don't love it). Anyway, it was... good. It was just tomatoes, sliced shallot, salt, pepper, parsley and some oil. What a good little afternoon snack. I was truly enlightened.
