Trough Vegetable and Herb Garden

We've had our trough gardens on the back patio for about a year and a half. This year our grape vines took off, so Matt created a metal screen for the vines to crawl up. Our basil, which we use in everything, is growing like crazy. We even noticed a few basil plants popping up outside the troughs---score!

Vegan 'homemade' pizza on the easy

I call Fresh and Easy Effin' Easy. I love it. I had a hankering for pizza after my nightly run (I like to think I counteract my naughty food with exercise). I ran over to Effin' Easy and got a pre-made pizza dough and pizza sauce. I had some Diaya mozzarella in the fridge and basil in the kitchen garden.

This is totally yum...11 minutes in the oven at 450 (dough package says 8-10 minutes, but I got the perfect golden crust at 11 minutes). Heaven.

All loaded up for the oven

 All done!

 All yum!
