It is the littlest things in life that excite me. Seriously I am the easiest person to please. Today Jan came in with a ‘present’ for me. I turned around to find a butternut squash with a little face drawn on. I was literally giddy (see I told you it doesn’t take much). So many ideas crashing through my head. Later as we were chattering on in our foodie speak, I was thinking of the cauliflower pizza crust I was getting ready to make for my co-worker Julie. Hmm….what if instead I used butternut? Why not? I do not routine. I am constantly changing things. If something gets comfortable, I’m ready to try something new. I am always down for better. I have done cauliflower pizza crusts so many times, that frankly I’m over them. They’re cliche and trendy. I have this phobia of going with the crowd. So if something catches on, I’m ready to move on to bigger and better pastures. Plus its Fall and butternut (as I’ve exclaimed for weeks now) is my favorite fall flavor. I am branching out.
And here are the results of said experimentation’s. I have to say personally I was so pumped about this crust and pizza when I made it. There is something about conceptualizing something and then having it come to life. It’s the high that the creative process brings. The proudness that fills you up from making something with your own hands. It’s like having a dream come true.
Feel free to play with toppings, I was playing on some savory/sweet combinations. Continue reading “Butternut Pizza Crusts”
SThis is one of my favorite recipes EVER! It actually kind of, sort of inspired me to start my own baking business. I served it up on Thanksgiving once and my friend Sharon, her sister and mom all exclaimed that I needed to kick the kettlebell training thing and start my own bakery. Fast forward a few years and I have the humble beginnings of a baby bakery business. Thank you very much to them for their encouragement and belief in me.
