Kombucha Tea: pizza friday

when i was a child my favorite day of the week was friday

1) because TGIF was on (esp the first and best year with full house, perfect strangers, mr. belvedere, and just the ten of us)

and

2) it was pizza day at school!

oooooh and then some fridays were even pretzel dayyy....

when i first decided to stop consuming animal products i had no problem avoiding cheese. (i actually starting weaning myself years ago when, oddly enough, i heard Madonna explain why she avoids it.) but lately it's been a different story - i've been cheating like a non-vegan mofo. People's Pizza's marinara pie usually does the trick, but they're not open late like Domino's when the craving is at its worst!

i do not like consuming dairy for a bunch of reasons. i also sense that the processed wheat crusts are no good for my system as well.

so i set out to make raw pizzas like Carmi's at the Sunny Raw Kitchen. i borrowed a dehydrater from the ever-so-kind Wendi and created guilt-free super tasty healthy raw pizzas to enjoy this pizza friday.

and created some food art while i was at it!

i began following carmi's recipe for her herb pizza crust but realized a second too late that the recipe called for 4 cups of zucchini, chopped, not four whole zucchini, chopped, like i had already processed with the sunflower seeds. i decided to just keep going and made adjustments where i saw fit.

the batter looked good to me so i spread it out on 3 teflex sheets and dehydrated for about a day and a half to get them nice and crispy. the outcome was 27 pretty tasty pizza crusts! half went into the freezer and i'm sure we'll eat the rest this weekend. =)
