I WON!

65

Do you remember – way back in February – when I entered my Thai Tofu Pizza in a recipe contest, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best?!

I flipping WON.

It’s true!!! I won the Nasoya Tofu Recipe Contest!! I got an email last month telling me that my Thai Tofu Pizza had been selected as the grand prize winner, and I’m all – exsqueeeze me? I never win anything, you see, and I’m pretty sure I squealed audibly when I read it. Ahhh!!

This tastes just like Pad Thai…on a pizza crust!

Like I said last time – the sesame-soy-peanut sauce base is absolutely incredible with the sweet mango. It’s perfect for you sweet & savory lovers out there. :)

You could totally make this with chicken, pork – or even shrimp! That would actually be SUPER good!

CHOMP! :D Thanks, Nasoya, for picking my pizza!

Dessert tonight shall be one of these Dark Chocolate Almond Chewy Granola Bars that MyBlogSpark and Cascadian Farm sent me to try out!

The nutritionals are dece – especially when it’s basically a dessert bar.

And a GOOD dessert bar, at that! I don’t usually buy granola bars (and probably still won’t after this) because I always eat them too fast, but if I were in the habit of buying them – these would definitely make my grocery list!

DSC_0037

They’re super chewy, thick and GOOEY! And CHOCOLATEY!! Really good!

Ugh, before dinner tonight I went on a 3 mile run and thought it’d be fun to go as fast as I could. I won’t lie to you – it was awful! So hard! However, here I sit, an hour later, no worse for the wear. I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again – running is 90% mental. If you think you can’t, you won’t. But most likely, you can!

Oh, I also tried the Power Vinyasa Flow #4 yoga class on YogaDownload.com today. I didn’t like it as much as the Power Vinyasa Flow #2 class I tried last week. I think I might – gulp – loosen the purse strings and actually BUY the 40 minute class! Up until now, my stingy self has been hogging all the free 20 minute downloads I can! ;)

Off to do some stuff before Gossip Girl comes on. I missed last week – can anyone fill me in on what happened?!

Goodnight!

    I made this the other night, and it was DELICIOUS! Instead of mango I used pineapple, then added some sprout on top of the pizza when it came out of the oven. So glad I found your recipe for it! Thanks! :o )
