Yet another pizza

Trader Joe’s just makes it too easy what with their $1.19 balls of pizza dough and all. Spread it out. slap some stuff on it, bake it, eat it. This time we used the crust as a delivery system for their Chickenless Pulled Chicken. We’d never had it and wanted to give it a try. It comes in a BBQ sauce, but it could use a little jazzing up. You know, a little something to make it pop. The texture is nice though and it’s already in reasonably small pieces so you don’t have to mess with it unless you want to. It’s topped off with mozzarella Teese and a sprinkling of red bell pepper.

Kitties Revisited

Andrea at The Daily Kitten is featuring Possum’s babies starting today. Jack, the one Eric took, is the first one up. Although the first pic in the Jack set is actually Grover. It’s hard for me to tell their tiny selves apart. It’s almost impossible for someone else. They were so much fun! It’s weird to think that Grover and Girl Kitty have lived their entire lives in my house.

Chilaquiles Verdes

Finally, I’ve made something out of the cute little cookzine Vegan de Guadalupe! The Chilaquiles Verdes recipe may look a little plain and simple, but it tastes homey and comforting. I was concerned about only seasoning the tofu with salt & pepper, but it was plenty tasty. Also, you can follow the recipe exactly, but you don’t really have to. It’s very forgiving. I used half the tortillas and only one can of salsa. I also added sliced avocado on top. Mmmmm. It cooks up really quickly and a little plop of refried black beans on the side make it sort of a complete meal. Some shredded lettuce on top might have been nice too, but I didn’t have any.

And I’m surprised at how well the pic turned out considering the display on my poor old camera decided not to work so I was shooting blind.
