10 minute pizza for dinner and a 10 minute post before bed. Tomorrow is my first day of school so I need to be well rested!
Today was a crazy busy day.
Breakfast: 2 slices of banana bread (recipe to come) with peanut butter and a glass of milk.
We had the welcome day for the new families at our school. I have two new children in my class this year, so today was their day to meet me and our wonderful classroom assistant while familiarizing themselves with their new class and school.
Just a preview of one of my classroom displays.
Once the families left, we put the final touches on the classroom. I want to put together a post (and perhaps new page) about classroom and lesson ideas for any other teachers out there. Expect to see this soon!
After school, I went with Kate and Zoe to visit our friend Rosetta and her new baby, Lily Rose. As a baby gift, I offered to take photographs of their little one.
She was so well-behaved and slept through the whole thing.
Check out those long eyelashes!
I really wanted to get some almost-naked baby shots but mum and dad were afraid that taking off her clothes would startle her into a fit. Too bad, I just love wrinkly little baby skin in black and white photographs!
Once the photo shoot was over, I ran back home, made 10 minute pizza and then was back out the door for play rehearsal within 20 minutes. This meal certainly didn’t receive the appreciation and devotion it deserves.
Faster, healthier, and more delicious than frozen or delivered pizza!
10 Minute ‘Pizzas’
Ingredients
1 premade pita bread
1 large tomato
several olives
soft goat’s cheese
fresh basil
Method
- Toss the pita bread into the toaster and then slice your tomatoes and olives.
- Once the toaster pops up, take out the warm pita bread and cut it in half. Next, layer the tomatoes, olives, and crumbled goat’s cheese on top.
- Broil in the oven for several minutes, until the tomatoes are hot and the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Top the finished “pizzas” with fresh chopped basil.
Whew! 15 hours later, I can finally sit down and rest!
Have a good night everyone, and wish me luck on my first day of school!
Eating Abroad
Good luck!
I was wondering in your opinion do vegetarians or/and vegans eat in smaller portions than meat/dairy product eaters? I was always wondering. And I am super eager to try more of your recipes. Would you happen a good one for cheesecake by any chance?
Hihi many ?? I know, but any input is super appreciated
I can’t speak for other vegetarians or vegans… but I personally eat just as large, if not larger portions of food than most other people. When I’m filling up on veggies and whole grains, I tend to pile it up!
If you use a recipe from here, I’d love to hear what you think! I don’t have a cheesecake recipe that is ‘special’ to me, but there is a recipe for raw vegan cheesecake that I’ve been wanting to try from here:

I hope this helps!
The baby pics came out so precious. What a lovely gift from God. I really like the one with both mom and dad’s hand and of course the tiny toes one! How is play practice going? Miss you, Mom
