Coming from New York I am often disappointed by pizza just about anywhere else.

I love the thin crust and the perfect cheese to sauce ratio of New York style. No other pizzas compare.

Every once in a while though a good pizza will come along and dazzle my taste buds.

Enter: zpizza’s Italian Pizza

Every topping is my favorite. Olives, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, pesto and mozzarella. They got the crust to be delightfully light, airy and crisp. As an added bonus, zpizza’s mission is to have sustainable, organic ingredients to create delicious pizzas that people will want to try again and again. They have so many specialty pizzas that I would love to try. Mediterranean, chicken sausage, Provence, Thai, Mexican… they all sound delicious!

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood! I really just cannot get over how beautiful Boulder is in the sun.

Moods are lifted, after school programming can go outdoors, my plants begin to sprout! All is right in my world.

Can you believe that they GREW that much in just one day! They’re doing so well!

For dinner, I decided to keep going with my green theme. That meant more pesto!!!

The Recipe:

  • 1 cup cooked rotini
  • 1 tbsp pesto
  • 7 cooked shrimp
  • 1/4 cup quartered artichoke hearts
  • 2 tsp sliced olives
  • 2 tsp mushrooms

Cook the noodles and shrimp so they are done at about the same time. Mix in the pesto. Add the rest of the ingredients. Simple as that.

I have become mildly obsessed with pesto and shrimp. I really love the combination… then add in some artichokes and it’s over the top good! Perfect quick meal that takes 10 minutes. Definitely good in my book!

Tonight was a pizza night. A delicious, delicious pizza night.

I can’t tell you how happy my pizza made me. My mouth starts watering just thinking about it… and I just finished!

Think about it, pesto, artichokes, mushrooms, olives, feta and just enough mozzarella to tie it all together. Can there possibly be a better combination? I really think not!

Artichokes are one of my very favorite foods. I love the sweet taste they leave in your mouth even after you have finished. What a lovely reminder that you have had a delectable vegetable. Mmmm, I really just want to finish off the rest of the artichoke hearts!

And now, I’m off to the Y for some exercise. Delightful way to end the day!
