Homemade Vegetarian Pizza & Pizza Sauce

 My little sister wrote that! =)

I was planning for this meal since last week,

but was too busy to make them.

Today, my man's on MC, so we made the pizza together! 

He was in charged in chopping the ingredients... and kneading the dough,

because I accidentally cut my finger earlier. 

My small ceramic knife is really super sharp!!

Ok..back to the pizza topic..

This is a really good spice blend, very fragrant! 

& I used canned black pitted olives. 

It's not as good as fresh ones, but a lot cheaper. 

Just $2+ per can!

I made the sauce, as I don't wanna use those store bought ones.

a mix of white button, swiss brown and portobello mushrooms..

1 rectangular pizza...

1 round pizza...

And here's the baked pizza~

baked with love and filled with team spirits...
but lack of time to capture more pictures of the baked pizzas.
My family joined us for dinner and when dinner time starts, it's like at war zone.
 everybody grabbing the food!! HAHA!!

Anyway..today is a fruitful day for us...

and of course, enjoyable..!
