Viva La Pizza

Hola Amigos!
Lo siento (I'm sorry) for the lack of posts lately, I was on a lovely beach vacation with my mom, sister, and our two small pooches.  While I did have internet access while I was there, I just wanted to enjoy my time with family and friends as well as trying to complete my summer tradition of re-read all the Harry Potter books (sadly I only got to book 5).

Pockets

Pippa

 Aren't they the absolute cutest?  I mean seriously look at their little faces!  Pockets is more of a wilderness dog, and Pippa is more of a sit on your lap while constantly licking your face dog.  Can you imagine trying to write a blog post while they are there and the beach is steps away?
Anywho, I did not give up on my veganism while at the beach; but I accidentally ate butter one day in a fit of absolute hunger; they put the bread basket in my face!  It was an impulse and once I realized my mistake I moved the butter dish far, far away.  I've learned being a vegan is not a life or death deal, people are allowed to have mishaps.
One night we went out to dinner at a restaurant in Atlantic city called Mexico.  The waiter was really confused when I asked for tacos with no meat, cheese, or sour cream.  So instead he brought me a bunch of sides (still quite delicious).  And of course we got a pitcher of margaritas because we were on vacation!  If you're ever in AC I suggest heading there, the food is so fresh and authentic.

Sadly, my beach vacation is over, but I am glad to be back home with my dad and his dogs (who I've hardly seen all summer).  My dad is also vegan and we went grocery shopping the other night to get tons of vegan things to experiment with (mostly loads of different Dayia cheeses).  I've realized that I really like Dayia cheeses when they are melted, which works for me! 

Just so we are clear, Mexican food happens to be one of my favorite things in the entire world.  While I was grocery shopping with my father we bought a few things for a Mexican meal, pizza, and an Asian meal.  We had my veggie stir-fry last night and were going to have pizza today, but I decided to put a Mexican spin on it.

So, instead of pizza sauce I spread re-fried beans on the frozen Rustic Crust we got from Whole Foods.  Then we put Dayia Pepper Jack cheese on, chopped onions, roasted red pepper flakes, and this special habenero pepper sea salt that we got my dad for his birthday last year from here.  When the pizza was cooked I made guacamole and we slathered it on top.  It was sooooooooo good!!!!

 

I had three pieces! I couldn't help it, it was the perfect combination of Mexican, pizza crust, and guacamole.  I will definitely be making this again in the near future, maybe with some tomatoes on top!
