Ding ding, it’s finally SPRING! Hurray!
Not only was Friday the last night of winter, it also featured a blue moon. Freaky. I’ll just take that as a sign that we’re about to head into the best Spring/Summer yet. Are you with me?
To celebrate the farewell of winter and welcome back the warmth, my friend and I thought it appropriate to don our warmest (sparkliest) slippers, pop open a bottle of red vino and relax with a DVD and a spicy, home-made Mexican pizza.
I was all set to make Keepin’ It Kind’s Delicious Pizza Base Recipe when a couple of ready-made, vegan, gluten-free pizza bases threw themselves at me in a nearby shop. Thank you blue moon, for saving me some time on a very rushed Friday! I’ll make those bases from scratch next time. Promise.
On top of the bases I splashed a spicy tomato salsa and then topped it with all sorts of Mexican goodies:
- Mexi-Beans (you could also use Kidney/Pinto/Black Beans/etc – drained)
- Fresh Tomato
- Red Onion
- Jalapeño / Red Chilli
- Mushroom
- Capsicum
- Fresh Corn
Yum! So easy and delicious. No queso required but it would definitely be better with home-made bases.
Once baked (at 180C for about 15 minutes), garnish with avocado slices and fresh coriander leaves and enjoy your movie!
Here comes the sun, na na na naaaaaa…

Also, love the stormtrooper pic.

Avo on a pizza is a great idea.
I see you have really well cooked crusts on the pizza. Thats my fav.
I was thinking of making socca pizza crust before, have you tried it?

I’m just getting used to the idea that football season (American football, that is) is starting and preparing my pantry for soup making. And here you are making me sad that summer is over! Love that pizza and your blue moon pic!
