Piza

Cost: $6

Prep: 10 minutes

Did you notice? The spelling mistake in the title?

It is there to symbolize what happened to this dinner. Matt thought we had peppers; we didn't. I thought we had pineapple; we didn't.

Instead, we had pepperoni, cheese, olives, and onions. Hmmmm.

This left us scrambling a little, and we managed to find other toppings. We did pull out a jar of artichoke hearts and a small piece of feta cheese. Dinner felt much classier after that.

To class it up even further, we drank Moutain Dew. What is pizza without a soda to go with it?

Charlie, however, just had water.

Pizza!

Cost: $9

Prep: 20 minutes

We made pizza for dinner tonight. Well, Matt and I made pizza for dinner, and Charlie mostly stood starring at us while drinking watered down apple juice.

Matt and I had variations of the same pizza. Matt had barbeque sauce base with turkey pepperoni, onion, and peppers.

Mine had a tomato sauce base with turkey pepperoni, onion, peppers, and green olives.

One thing I like about this dinner is the leftovers. Charlie and my mom ate Matt's (oops!) leftovers the next day for lunch, and Matt ate mine the day after that (I am still buying a salad every day for lunch).

LATE

Cost: $7

Prep: no idea

It is almost 8:30 and I am just sitting down to eat. Tonight we had parent/teacher interviews, so I am getting home MEGA late.

Matt made pizza though, for him and Chuck, and then he put one on late for me so it was still warm when I got home. How kind!

Now, I'm tired and hungry, so off I go to dine.

Weekend Treat: Sidney Bakery

Calorie-wise, today is a write off. We went to go for breakfast, but kind of got lost finding the place. We ended up eating McDonalds breakfast. It was almost 9:30, and I had done my insulin at 8AM, we had to have something.

We were out in Sidney taking Charlie to his favorite place, the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre. Of course, if it is open, we always have to get some lunch at the Sidney Bakery after.

It is my favorite bakery. We did NOT make healthy choices though, but we did try to pace ourselves with our treats.

As our "main", Matt and I had a pepperoni-cheese stick. Charlie had a plain cheese stick, but helped out with all the pepperoni. These are so fresh and soft. Yum.

Then came the desserts. We got 3 x2 (starting from top):

1. Apple fritter: we always get these. So yummy because soft inside and crisp outside. Very little glaze, which I prefer.
2. Chinese chew: new to us, a chewy cookie which seems to use a lot of brown sugar. Large pieces of date inside.
3. Chocolate mound: THE BEST treat in THE ENTIRE WORLD. Okay, well, maybe not the far, but it is fabulous. A giant macaroon covered in chocolate.

Now, before you judge, we did not finish these treats until breakfast this morning, but when prices are as good as they are at the SIdney Bakery, how can you resist? Everything was only $10!

Matt's Pizza Dinner

Cost: $10 (for 5)

Prep: none  (for me)

Tonight, I got to sit with two of my girlfriends and chat while Matt made us a pizza dinner. It was fairly simple, but very tasty. We bought multigrain crust kits from Thrifty's (on sale for $5 for the two). For toppings, we had onion, peppers, olives, and pepperoni topped with mozzarella and parmesan.

For dessert, we had a blueberry coffee cake that was clearanced from Thrify's for $3. There is still one piece left, but we made pretty good work of it!
