The Pizza and the Spinach Salad

The pizza crust was the one I got at the Food Bank and it was "multi-grain" and very thick.  I like thin crust so that part wasn't my favorite.  The rest of it tasted great. 

However, those who are hooked on dairy cheese probably wouldn't have liked how the Vegan Cheese didn't melt.  But, it tasted just fine. 

I made a spinach salad to go with it, here's the recipe (all ingredients I got at the Food Bank on Saturday, except for the salad dressing from my friend and the raw sunflower seeds that I had in the freezer):

Baby spinach
Carrots - diced very small
Cauliflower - cut in small pieces
Celery - diced
Grape tomatoes
Raw sunflower seeds (last Spring I had the money to buy 10 pounds and I put it into the freezer)
Raisins
Girard's Raspberry dressing (my friend bought it with food stamps)

Put the spinach on individual salad plates.  Slice and dice carrots, cauliflower and celery and put on top.  Put grape tomatoes and sunflower seed on top.  Add raisins to the top.  Put the dressing on the side so each person can choose how much and what kind to use.

Enjoy!

Spinach Salad--YUM!

Last week, when I came home from my Sylvan job, I found 4 bags of groceries on my porch!  What a blessing!  It had spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and celery in it (among other things).  I decided to make spinach salads for this week.  I put the spinach and other ingredients into plastic containers. 

Here's my recipe:

Spinach
Carrots - diced
Celery-diced
Tomatoes - diced and put into little container separately
Cucumbers - diced and put into little container separately
Raw sunflower seeds (in teeny containter)
Raisins  (in teeny container)
Raw almonds (in teensy container)
Dressing of your choice (my favorites are Annies Gingerly and Paul Newman's)

Put the spinach, carrots, celery (and any other fresh vegetables that you have-like cauliflower) into the plastic container.  Then put the teeny containers of sunflower seeds, raisins and almonds into the corners of the salald container.  Put the tomatoes into one little container and the cucumbers into another.

I put them all together on the weekend and then I can just grab the whole thing each morning so it's really quick.
