Good Meatless Monday Y’all!
As you remember, I chose to make Broccoli Tomato Galette from Vegetarian Times. I made it on Sunday and then re-heated it on Monday for dinner. It was pretty easy to make. On Sunday morning I went to Trader Joe’s and got everything I needed except the oregano, I grow it in my garden and used it. I decided that My Man would have a taste of it on Sunday and then compare how it tasted on Monday.
As you can see, I can’t rollout a circle to save my life. Anyway, I think my oddly shape pizza looks “rustic”.
Overall impression
The pizza (cause really, that it what it is) was pretty easy to make. I thought it tasted better fresh from the oven then it did re heated today. Both My Man and I think that it needed salt. I ended up adding salt to mine when I ate it both times and it helped a lot. The other thing was the crust. I don’t if it was the TJ crust (although I have had their regular crust and enjoyed it) or if it was the fact that it was a wheat crust but is was just ok. Ok as in I hope to never have it again.
I think I will make this again but with regular crust…and salt…and more cheese. I think I just added 300 more calories to the damn thing but it will Yummy! Y’all check it out and tell me what you think!
