For the cooked pizza, put the cold toppings on raw dough then put into the oven.
Body Notes: This week craving bananas and I am listening to the guidance to eat them. Added banana into my muscle-building milkshake with blended and sliced bananas in my milkshake.
Garden Notes: I added to the pizzas from my garden cherry tomatoes and spring onion greens. Exciting my first tomatoes of the season from my garden are yellow pear cherry tomatoes. My favorite garden food to plant is tomatoes, I planted a tomato patch with a variety of variations. And, I always have sprouting onions growing in pots. I just use the greens to add flavor to meals. Instead of using an onion once with just using the greens, I have onion greens year-round.
