Gratitude Monday -- I Include Me Edition

Yesterday I decided I wanted beanizza, that is, a bean pizza.  I make them fairly often because we both like them,
I am grateful for a variety of reasons with the biggest reason being I have the skills, materials, time, and ability to make the thing I want to eat.
I've adapted a regular dough recipe for gluten free and I use a commercial flour for it. Robin Hood Gluten Free Flour makes a wonderful dough. It takes a tad more liquid that called for in a regular recipe, but figuring it out is pretty easy.
I'm grateful I put the bean recipe together for the topping, and I am grateful we both like it.
I am grateful that there's a type of fake mozzarella that is awfully good. Yesterday's had really mozzarella, some cheddar, and the fake mozzarella.  They were tasty.
I've figured out how to turn tomato paste into a pretty good sauce, got the spicing sorted out, and learned that the dough can rise and then rest in the fridge until I need it.

While I am not trying to brag, the point must be made that whenever we do something that works out we should take a moment to let ourselves know we've done well.

Few people hesitate to say how badly they've screwed up. They'll go on and on about how awful they are. That's just as much bragging and saying how great you are.

I am not saying I am great or the best, I am saying I figured out a thing and it is a hit and for it I am grateful. And I include me in that expression.

The beanizza in question.

I challenge you to find something about yourself for which you are grateful.

Gratitude Monday -- Beanizza Edition

I had an idea recently for bean pizza. I wanted pizza, but nothing too heavy. I went looking and discovered that yes, bean pizza does exist in the wild.
This was good as it gave me a solid basis to ignore when I made my own.
Also, I wanted to know if Robin Hood Gluten Free flour was good for pizza crust.
It is the best.
The first one I tried was kale and kidney bean with two kinds of goat cheese.
It was very good.
For Christmas I made baked bean pizza with bacon and mushroom.
We only stopped eating it because it was gone.
My husband loves these pizzas even more than I do and for that I am grateful.
Yesterday I decided to make another version of the kale and kidney bean. I used regular dairy mozzarella and some honey goat cheese on it along with mushroom, onion, and bell peppers.
I am grateful it turned out so well. It is filling and healthy and fun to make and I am grateful for that, too.

I am sure you are curious.
This is kale and kidney bean beanizza:
