This day is just getting busier and busier!! Ahhhhhhhh!
I saved my cantaloupe for a snack because there was COOKIE CAKE in our office! Celebrating two birthdays! Yummmmmmms-
So after work I downed my cantaloupe before EMILY met me for a post-work run!! We set out for 5 miles in the summer heat and ended up running 2.5 and walking the rest! First off, Emily is not a Southerner like I am and felt a bit overheated 🙂 But also, we had so much to discuss that we couldn’t talk and run well enough so we switched to walking. Feel more caught up on life now! We covered 5.5 miles – ’twas great 🙂
I literally walked in the door to "dinner is served" ringing in my ears from Matt!! And MY what a dinner it was!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a Great Harvest nearby, you MUST go ask them to buy some crust. I cannot get over their doughs as crusts. This was Flax Oat Bran and Mediterranean Olive from two little mini pizzas. Topped with BACON and BLUE CHEESE and ARUGULA and PORTABELLOS and PARMESAN!!!!!!
Oh my word it was sooo good! I loved how he did no tomato sauce and just fresh toppings – the dough really showed through (it was my suggestion too ;0) )
Arugula, zucchini parmesan cheese, black pepper and a driz of olive oil
I dove in sweaty and all (I normally like to shower before dinner)

Gotta go send a bunch of emails.
We got our counter offer today – it was OK – we countered again!! Still on pins and needles…
Nite!!
Veggielady4life says
Countering? Reminds me of House Hunters… that pizza looks wonderful!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Wow that pizza looks AMAZING!!! Do they sell the dough at all Great Harvests?
Kori says
I certanily hope your counter offer works out for you both. Your dinner looks AH-MAZING! I’m currently finishing off my dinner involving sardines. Yumm…=D I hope you have a great rest of your evening, Kath!
Erica says
haha. I’m so used to running in the heat now..I barely think about it! Except on the REALLY bad days. What a great dinner. I’m totally asking our great harvest for dough. Did I tell you I met the owner and told him about you two 🙂 Good luck with the counter!
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I so wish my Great Harvest would sell me dough, but they said no. Pizza’s look amazing.
Kath says
Awwww bummer! Show them this post!
Heather says
hehe I love how he waves at the camera 🙂
that heat will just kill you, I know!

Kath says
Not weird – thanks 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I love sauce free pizza. Makes the toppings and crust shine through.
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
That sounds like the best pizza ever!!
lisa says
Yum! Your dinner looks so delicious. I need to try adding arugula to my pizzas. Did you know that in England and Australia (and probably lots of other countries), they call arugula rocket? Just a bit of trivia for ya.
KatieTX says
I have that target workout top!l the heat in TX is really bad already! Running outside is exponentially harder!
Marissa says
Mmm, that does look good! I’m a stickler about showering between a workout and a meal, though… I can’t stand being sweaty while eating!
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
That pizza looks delish! I was thinking about a pizza just like that for dinner. Wish I had the dough!! 🙂
Jenn
Gavi @ GaviGetsGoing! says
Looks like a pretty incredible crust! And I love the idea of sauce-less pizza. The toppings are always my favorite part anyway! 🙂 I hope your receive a good counter-offer–crossing my fingers for you!

Ahh that pizza looks and sounds absolutely amazing!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Good luck on the counter offer! That pizza looks great- where are all the Great Harvests?
Hannah says
Wow, I’m not at all a pizza person but that looks divine! Maybe because it seems quite different to “standard” pizza? Yum! Good luck with the counter-offering – who knew it was so complicated?!
Jenny says
That cookie cake looks so delish! How awesome is it you had dinner awaiting your arrival?!
Stacy (StacyGrowsHealthy) says
So nice to come home to dinner on the table!
Melissa Cari @ Miles for Markets says
Cookie cake is by far my favorite thing in the entire world. It’s the only time I will allow myself to have chocolate (chocolate gives me migraines). Your cookie cake, salad and pizza all look delicious. What a great day of eats!
Claire says
I am gonna head to Great Harvest tomorrow and ask for some dough for crust…seriously looks amazing! Tomorrow is the only day they have dakota bread too!
Madeline says
Cookie Cake = My Weakness!
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
oooh I want that PIZZA NOW!!!!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
OMG OMG OMG. going to great harvest soon and will pick up one of those crusts! are they a dough that you bake or ready made?
Kath says
It’s literally just a ball of bread dough. You have to specially ask for it.
Nick says
I do love me some banana oatmeal 🙂
Erin says
I can’t deny that cookie cake is delicious. Actually, usually the icing isn’t great but I love the idea of a giant cookie. 😉
teens eat says
that pizza crust looks sooo thick and good!
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
That pizza looks divine. Dinner tomorrow night for me might just be inspired by your dinner tonight. That dough looks so rich and yummy and flavorful! I need to find the nearest Great Harvest ASAP and get my hands on this stuff.
Ashley@thehungryscholar says
What a beautiful pizza. Your meals are always an inspiration!
Alycia @ Fit n Fresh says

Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says

I love cookie cake…it’s so nostalgic for me! Reminds me of elementary school birthday parties, ha!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Mmm, Mediterranean pizza yummy yummy yummy. I had the most amazing pizza ever recently that looked just like that.
Ashley C says
I LOVE cookie cakes way more than regular cookies.
For great harvest, what do you ask for? Is it bread dough or pizza dough? I don’t think my great harvest has pizzas but that looks amazing so if you could let me know that’d be awesome, thanks!
Kath says
It’s just their pizza dough – they don’t make pizzas with it. But we do!
Ashley C says
Thanks! I’ll have to check it out next time I go
Kathi says
Pizza looks amazing! I went to visit my daughter this weekend in Albuquerque and made a stop at GH-yum! We are stocked but not for long. 🙂 I hope for your anniversary the for sale sign gets a sold sign! As a former realtor, don’t let your counter offer get away! All deals must be closed by June 30th to qualify for the govt rebate so I know your buyers are anxious too. Can’t wait to hear the updates tomorrow.
Kath says
OH I didn’t know there was another gov’t incentive??!
Kathi says
Oh sorry to confuse, I heard this on the news over the weekend but it applies to contracts that were signed by the end of April Forgive me! I hope today brings great news from your buyers!
Karina (Like Some Cat from Japan) says
I am very impressed with your ability to run in the heat. Now, I am no runner, but I can hardly even WALK in the heat!
That pizza you had for dinner…. oh my… it looks just divine and delicious.
KBG says
I had the BEST arugula salad this weekend-I bet you would like it.
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Arugula-Salad/Detail.aspx
Subbed in sunflower seeds for the pine nuts-so simple,
but stunningly good.
Jessica says
Kath, I read your blog almost everyday (and when I dont have a chance to read one day, I will go back and catch up later) and just LOVE it, but this is the first time I’ve left a comment. I love to cook, and cook healthy, but you really inspire me to make the time to plan and make meals ahead (rather than running out of time).
Anyway, the reason I commented today was to let you know, in case you dont already, that there is an html code to make the heart symbol (even though the quick version still gets the message across). here it is: ♥
I use the hearts all the time and found the code online from http://www.squidoo.com/html_numeric_codes. Maybe you’ll need some of the others, too 🙂
Thanks for being so diligent about you posts!
Jessica says
whoops – haha!
See? I posted the numerical code and it turned into the symbol…. so maybe just look at the website 🙂
Kath says
Oh how cool!! I wonder how that works with Windows Live Writer? I’ll have to play around with it.
BroccoliHut says
That crust looks perfectly chewy and pillowy–YUM!
Camille says
What a gorgeous pizza!
I am moving to Oregon in August and there will be a Great Harvest near us, I can’t wait!
Marina says
what an amazing crust. thank you for giving me an idea, I’ll try adding something to my own next time I make it.
Good luck with the house offers!
Anne @ Food Loving Polar Bear says
What a pizza!!!!:)
Wei-Wei says
I love love love Cookie Cake. Or as I’ve seen recently, pizzookie! (pizza + cookie + pie!) Matt’s pizza really does look awesome! I actually don’t really like cheese on pizza – I prefer just sauce. But your pizza looks so. damn. good. I wish I could taste the dough… Mmm. 🙂

Annie @ stronghealthyfit says
