VEGAN BBQ PIZZA

,

I have been daydreaming about this pizza for a longggggg time now. I mean who doesn’t like the concept of a BBQ Pizza that is completely and utterly deliciously vegan without missing the flavor! I knew that this was something that would bring my taste buds to the next level and (I hate to say it) I was right! Lots of people asked me what I make with Trader Joe’s Garlic sauce and the answer is within this pizza! The garlic sauce is the perfect base for Italian food and this pizza is no different! I personally don’t like it when BBQ pizzas have a BBQ sauce base because it can overpower all the other flavors on the pizza – whereas this sauce only highlights the tangy deliciousness of the bbq jackfruit! Now that I have basically told you, I’m in love with Trader Joe’s garlic sauce – I think its time to get into the recipe. Full details below! Enjoy Vegan Lovas!

GARLIC MUSHROOM SHEET PAN PIZZA ? ?

, ,

Please note this was written a while ago – but still relevant.

Hello vegan lovas! Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I decided to unplug and actually not post on my page. There’s been so much happening in the world – I needed space to just do ME for a second ( you know what I mean?!?) So – I decided to spend my time yesterday doing yoga (still a beginner and can’t really touch my toes all the way), listening to J. Cole ( my Aquarius ♒️ brotha), making carbs & participating in drunk baking – still on my story of you wanna see! all of which made me feel happy amongst all the tragedy. I just wanna say to everyone whose hearts are heavy like mine – it’s ok to find space to do YOU. Bring you out of the funk you’re in and don’t feel guilty about smiling. Do something that you know makes you feel whole: pray, zoom call friends, drunk bake, whatever makes you feel good – DO THAT ISH bc we still deserve to smile. my grandma would always say, “it’s ok to smile when you wanna and cry when you wanna too.” I love you all – and now let’s get to the pizza ?
