Did you guys know that Saturday was Vegan Pizza Day?

What, you didn’t?! You did not celebrate?! Shame on you!

Just kidding! I didn’t know it was going to be Vegan Pizza Day either. But by chance, I saw it on a blog on Saturday morning, and also by chance, my friend Jen was planning on coming over on Saturday to, yes, bake a pizza!

Jen is my friend that Erin and I ran the Rotary Santa Run (5K) with in December. Jen is completely hilarious, honest and a blast to be around. I wish she would start a blog so I could get a little more of her each day (or each time she posted). Come on Jen, do it, do it, do it!

Have you ever met someone and thought, “Wow, this person is awesome, they should start a blog?”

Hmm, it sounds weird when I ask like that, but maybe someone can relate? Maybe? Or should I ask, Have you ever met someone and not wanted to read their blog anymore? Ha. Tell me all the dirt.

Anyway, on to the pizza and baking. Jen was actually over to make some Cookie Dough Lara Sarahbars (Peas & Thank You) and Pumpkin Pie Brownie ‘Cupcakes’ (Oh She Glows) while Steven was going to make the pizza. Let me just say, I should have been wearing my “Nom Nom Nom” shirt. YUMMY!

Making the Sarahbars (balls, really). Many ball jokes were told.

And the Cupcakes…

And now for the pizza. Steven has been wanting to make a deep dish pizza for a long time, and he finally did. And whoa. It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Like a slice of savory heaven. Ha.

For the record, he made 1/3 vegan and 2/3 with cheese.

Have you ever had a baking/cooking day with a friend?

To be honest, I was a bit nervous about doing all of the kitchen stuff – because I do not know what I am doing. But we all had a blast. Yay!

Oh, and Data had a blast too. He really liked Jen’s bag and the grass she brought him. Thanks Jen!
