Lent Fast Update

Good morning all!

It's been a few days, so I wanted to update you all on our journey.

We have been keeping breakfast pretty much the same as previous posts.

For lunch, we have been eating boxed macaroni and cheese or spaghetti.  These are a good ways to eat a filling meal.

For dinner, we have been eating pasta roni or rice a roni. Our favorite dish has been our homemade pizza. I have the recipe shown below.

This past weekend, I (Young Hipster) went to Miami. I will update you in another post about bringing my vegetarian fast to South Beach.

Try our pizza recipe and if a veggie pizza isn't your thing, feel free to just add meat to it.

Veggie Pizza

Ingredients

1/2 cup of sliced portabella mushrooms
2 green onions chopped
1 large tomato chopped
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 clove of garlic
1 cup of spinach
1/2 cup of mozzarella
1/2 cup of pizza cheese blend
1 Pillsbury pizza crust can
Salt and pepper for taste

Directions

1.) Follow directions on can for pre-baking the pizza dough.
2.) In a pan lightly coated with canola oil, saute the veggies until the tomato is almost completely broken down. (Add in the spinach in the last minute of cooking)
3.) Add in the brown sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Let cook until brown sugar has melted and blended into the mixture.
4.) Take out the pizza dough and begin layering the pizza. First start with a layer of the cheeses, then add the veggie mixture. Top the pizza with the remaining cheeses.
5.) Bake the pizza at 350 degrees in the oven until the pizza is golden brown on top.

Enjoy!
