Where do people come up with this stuff?
The search terms that lead my blog crack me up! *Not that I’m not happy to have new visitors! I’m just baffled occasionally.*

You guys know I’m on an airplane right about now (thank you, wi-fi). Since the trip has begun, I can officially declare victory over my quest to only use what I have this week.
I haven’t dined out since Sunday – this is no small feat for me! I’ve probably saved $200 (which I promptly spent on trip stuff).
My fridge is a wasteland of crumbs and stuff that never expires.
Some of the odd creative concoctions I haven’t shared yet:
Use-everything-in-my-fridge pizza(s):
Customize pizzas as you like! The one above is chronicled at the bottom of this post with instructions.
Tortilla pizzas sound like such a silly thing to eat before getting the “real” thing in Italy.
Pizza #2 (above) consisted of pressed tofu, sheep’s milk cheese, artichokes, marinara sauce, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes.
There was a dinner saute:
Pressed tofu, edamame, jalapeno, garlic, shallot, salsa, and liquid smoke. Side of sauteed zucchini I’ve been eyeing here on Rufus’ Food and Spirits Blog… it has a twist of something you’d never guess: Peach Schnapps. I followed the recipe, except I used olive oil instead of butter. It was awesome.
And my favorite – Overnight Oats in a Jar. Yep, I even used all the peanut butter.
PB jar with the “dregs” on the bottom, oats, sunflower seed milk (so glad to see this gone!), cinnamon, Biscoff granola, vanilla, and a shake of salt.

Tortilla Pizza
- 1 tortilla (I used Ezekial)
- 1/4 C tomato sauce
- 1 handful fresh spinach
- 1 T fresh thyme
- 1 chicken sausage (I’m loving Bilinski’s from Whole Foods!)
- 1/4 C artichoke hearts
- 2 T nutritional yeast
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Preheat oven to high broil.
Lay tortilla on baking sheet or pizza stone. Layer ingredients on top of tortilla.
Place in the oven, watching very closely (broil is no joke!). Cook until just beginning to brown, ~7-8 mins.

The next two weeks will be filled with an all-star line up of guest posts! Please stop by, say hello, and discover some new bloggers. I’ll also be inserting a little commentary about what Italian region the Wandering Wine-os are terrorizing touring… and will try to write a few full-length posts as time/wi-fi allows.
What is your favorite pizza base?
Would you have added the schnapps to the zucchini? I’m glad I did!
