Good eveeeening! It was pizza night in our house!!!
Karen proclaimed it to be “A rockin’ meal!”
Whole wheat crust, homemade tomato sauce base, shitake mushrooms from our favorite local market vendor, North Cove Mushrooms, plus pepper from our garden and lots of cheese.
[Bitter bolted] garden salad on the side! With a homemade dressing made from 1/4 cup black cherry balsamic (from the Boston Olive Oil Co), 2-3 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp honey, 1 heaping tsp dijon mustard and 1/2 tsp dried rosemary.
This afternoon I snacked on a ripe nectarine and half a Hungry Bar!
And to end our day, we shared dessert from Cville’s newest sweets bakery, Paradox Pastry. Matt went by this afternoon to say hello and welcome them to the bakery bunch and bought dessert.
We split this amazing peanut butter mousse tort 3 ways. With peanut crumble on top and a peanut crust!
So You Think You Can Dance is on tonight!! Yay!

Can I just say… Karen is adorable! She seems like such a nice person! You’re lucky to have her as a mother in law
I was going to say she looks great and healthy!
My parents are watching So You Think You Can Dance in the other room. That one lady is yelling… I can’t remember her name right now though
OH! And that pizza is so thick! Looks great
Hahahaha probably Mary!
That pizza looks so good! We keep trying to make pizza dough and it ends up so tough. Definitely need to do some experimenting with it!
And having fancy dessert after a nice homemade meal is one of my favorite things!
Looks like the perfect dinner and dessert!
I love peanut butter.
So much that I commented three times on this post.
In case you had any doubts.
OMG Karen is hot!!!!! I hope I look that good when I am her age!
Homemade pizza would be welcomed any night of the week in our house! Looks awesome! Peanut Butter…so jealous!
Oh my goodness, that dessert looks amazing! Buying dessert from another bakery–how cute
Karen looks beautiful! Love that shot of her! We had pizza night the other night…I swear it never gets old! Have a great night Kath!
There are so many good things happening in this post! From the fiber-licious whole-wheat pizza crust to the chocolate-peanut buttery goodness that is dessert. Seriously – yum!!
Oh my. That dessert looks so fantastic!!! PB & chocolate are my favorite indulgence
Peanut butter mouse?? omg
Can’t believe you find the time to make homemade pizza sauce. Really impressive!
Well it was leftover from dinner two night’s ago – not made homemade tonight!
now THAT’S a dessert! Looks fabulous – and so does the pizza!
That dessert looks amazing…but so does the pizza. I am suddenly crazing pizza night for dinner tomorrow.
I was thiiiis far into a comment requesting a homemade pizza video and it occurred to me to make sure you hadnt already done one. THERE it was! Thank you for your videos!
Love them!
…maybe this time with a baby boy teetering around in the background?!?
I’d love to see some new videos! Not that your older ones aren’t great (they are!), but love seeing people in real time! Hey, maybe a baby-related video?! Have you caught him kicking on camera yet?
coming to BERF on Friday
Summer days that include pizza and a scrumptious tort = priceless
YUM! Looks beautiful and delicious!
YAY for pizza!
Karen looks amazing!
Do you use regular tomato sauce or reduce it somehow? I often have trouble with those being too watery on pizza but yours looks great.
Btw just boughtyaelf a new skip hop diaper bag in grey chevron design and thought of you
our home made sauce is really thick, but we definitely have reduced sauces in a jar… or reduced fresh tomatoes with seasonings
i had to leave a comment that karen looks absolutely fantastic. so healthy, beautiful and radiant! it makes me happy to see her doing so well <3
and that mousse tort looks pretty nice, too
hope you're having a great night!
The dessert looks divine!
Watching SYTYCD now — it’s gonna be a heck of a season!
The dessert and the pizza look delicious!
how good does that torte look!
Wow! That dessert looks AMAZING!! Peanut butter and chocolate are seriously my favorite combination…ever!
That dessert looks amazing! So nice of Matt to welcome the new bakery
!
That crust looks fantastic! Homemade or store bought?
Matt made
Ahhh to be part of a bakery family….
Not sure which looks tastier…pizza or dessert? I think pizza wins!!
Karen looks wonderful! So happy to see her doing well after her cancer scare.
Karen is just looking better and better every day! It makes me so happy to see her smiling and looking so radiant
Then again, I think that dinner and that dessert could put a smile on just about anyone!
Dessert looks gorgeous and delicious!
That pizza looks great but that dessert look heavenly!
Such a great picture of Karen!
That dessert looks absolutely gorgeous!
I LOVE SYTYCD, it’s the only reality tv I watch… sadly our cable was out last night, I hope I can find it somewhere to watch! I heard NappyTabs did two routines, I can’t believe I missed it
That dessert looks fabulous! Perfect portion, too!
Ohhh I love the sound of your salad dressing! black cherry balsamic sounds amazing! I’m also going to jump on this dessert train and say it looks delish!
Karen and Matt have the same adorable crooked smile!
That was our dinner last night, too! Cheddar cheese, jalapenos, and mushroom pizza! Weird.
That dessert looks like heaven on a plate!
Ahhhh…that looks similar to a peanut mousse dessert I had at Crow in Seattle a few months ago. It was heaven!
That pizza looks amazing! I’m dying to try some Great Harvest pizza! Any chance it’ll be added to the bakery menu?
dough likely, but not by the slice
I agree- Karen looks adorable! So glad she is doing well.
Percetly ripe nectarine!
