Yes, I'm a foodie: Pizza & Arnold Palmer

God gave us food and the ability to make some amazing dishes.  Right?  Well I think one staple in many of us's diets is, you guessed it:  Pizza!!

And last night I used the coupon that I got in the mail for www.zpizza.com .We have eaten there a few times pre-allergen day since its walking distance from our home.  My husband called it "healthy pizza" since they use organic products.  I just thought it was just expensive and Costco Pizza was typically my choice.   He likes his pizza all greasy with lots of pepperoni. And Z Pizza definitely does not do greasy. 

Back to last night . . .  I ordered a large half and half for my husband and my mom.  Half Pepperoni and half California.  Both were very happy with theirs (my husbands taste buds have been evolving since I have changed the way we eat at home.  One day he will come fully around, I think.)  And then with the coupon I got a free small pizza.  And that is where I tried their new Berkeley Vegan on a gluten free crust (note: their gluten free crust only comes in the small pizza).

The Berkeley Vegan comes with marinara sauce, vegan cheese, veggie burger crumbles, mushrooms, tomatoes and I replace the onions, bell peppers, zucchini with pine nuts, avocado and artichoke hearts.  It was soooooo good!!  And surprise, surprise-- the cheese did not have soy in it.  (Which is something I can't eat).  So I thought to share the info on the cheese because it was very tasty.  The brand is called Daiya and their website is www.daiyafoods.com.  It has a search for locations to buy it too. Daiya is free of all the common allergens.

Onto my other suggestion for Arnold Palmer.  Elana's Pantry has a recipe for lemonade made with stevia.  But yesterday I made a version of an Arnold Palmer but instead of black tea, I used Tzao's Passion.  My son got a hold of it and took a sip and wanted more.  Enough said.
