This is a story about my snowy drama in Northstar.
Thankfully it ends well.
Thanks to the generosity from the Northstar team, Vegas and I were able to sneak in one more snowboarding trip this season. Remember that Northstar travel guide I wrote last month? We re-lived it… but bigger with a TON more snow, new-to-us food stops, and a bit of drama.
This is how my Monday started out in the parking lot…

Let’s talk Christmas trees.
Ours is the best.
I mean… have you ever seen a more perfectly shaped tree?
…
The baking bug bit.
It may have been better if it’d bit when it was cooler outside…
Either way, I spent the day baking. I made 6 of my Cauliflower Pizza crusts. I froze them all for quickie frozen pizzas. I also realized they’re essentially 3 ingredients. I need to write a new post about this…
…
We’re big pizza fans.
But who isn’t?!
When I saw that this month’s Recipe Redux topic was to celebrate another ReDuxer, I knew immediately I was going with the pesto flatbread from the walnut round up.
At least once a week some form of pizza happens in my house. Vegas would eat if for every meal if I let her! Pizza, flatbread… same difference, no? I added my own #strangebutgood twist by making it a Walnut Pesto & Shrimp Cauliflower Crust Flatbread.

I have become a fan of camping.
By camping, I mean glamping.
In case you aren’t familiar with the term, here’s how Urban Dictionary defines Glamping:
…
Put an egg on it.
Instant breakfast.
Pizza with an egg on it seems to be catching on around San Diego. I live right by the Italian section of town, and my favorite spot has an amazing brunch pizza. Complete with an egg on it. I was craving just such a pizza yesterday and made my own version for Vegas and me.
If an egg on a pizza isn’t strange enough for you, try it on a gluten-free, dairy-free cauliflower crust pizza. It’s crazy good. #VegasApproved

It’s Christmas time!
Didn’t we JUST have Thanksgiving?
We made it back from our travels in one piece Monday night, but I feel like a zombie now. How is it already December?
Did you start holiday shopping yet? I did a little t-shirt shopping in South Carolina for me. The people at the gym today loved my Furman University shirt.

I can’t be satisfied with simply being right.
No, I have to drive the point home over and over and over again.
It’s no secret that Vegas thought she didn’t like quinoa. She did. And then she did again. But the third time really is the charm.
Anyone with a sweet tooth can get on board with something sweet. I proved that point, so now it was time to go savory. I couldn’t see Vegas eating a giant quinoa bowl, so I went with her favorite food group: pizza. For breakfast. It’s a little strange but I swear it’s good – for breakfast or dinner!
