    Fingers crossed it all goes through and then you can sit back and watch the interest come rolling in 😏

    MIDWEEK PIZZA - whoops 😳!!!


    (In my defence, Plan A - beans on toast - was a non-starter, as I forgot I didn't have any bread 🤦‍♀️)

    (However, Plan B was perfectly sensible and I went for Plan C instead 🤦‍♀️)

    (I did at least put kale on it, so I could pretend it was vaguely healthy 😀)

    But homemade pizza is healthy - that doesn’t  look caked in cheese and has vegetable toppings. Don’t be so hard on yourself - you are allowed to eat nice food!!

    Thanks Vix 😀! I'll accept homemade is healthier - but beans on toast would still have been better 🤣!

    Big homemade pizza fans here, we have got in a bit of a toppings rut though- your veggie ones look great. I am pretty sure homemade is significantly healthier than shop ones!

    I don’t know about beans on toast - not such a variety of veg and quite a bit of sugar and salt (or additives if you get the lower sugar/salt ones). They may not be full portion sizes of the veg but variety is key.

    I know nothing about what is healthy or not but I do love pizza and beans in general. Just not toast.

    In my head, beans on toast = good, as beans are a superfood/pulses/protein, but I agree once you add the bread and the preservatives it's probably not the best!

    However, I have had pizza again tonight (Friday night being pizza night), which is why pizza on a Thursday was a bad idea 🤣🤣🤣!
