gezonde pizza

No matter how healthy I live, I also have my guilty pleasures. And one of those guilty pleasures is pizza! All day everyday. Well, homemade of course, without help from Mr. Oetker, I am that spoiled. My mother used to make fresh pizzas for us. We could then top them with whatever we liked. While my brothers went to work as carnivores with salami, Parma ham, and other meats, I topped my plate with all kinds of cheeses I could find.
I keep that tradition alive and when I feel like comfort food on the weekend, I dive into the kitchen and dust it with flour and tomato sauce. I fill my masterpiece with a shitload of vegetables, but keep it calm with the cheese. Then I can have a big glass of red wine with it. Is it already the weekend?
