Southwest Pizza and the Weekly Menu

I am still having fun with my new outdoor pizza oven.  My latest pizza was inspired by leftovers that I had in my refrigerator from these Southwest Chicken Foil Packets.

This pizza is perfect for a Meatless Monday Meal.  A base of tomato sauce flavored with taco seasoning mix, corn, black beans, fresh tomatoes, and onions topped with shredded Mexican blend cheese.

I made a quick Avocado Cream for people to add as they wished.  It was a delicious way to enjoy a meatless meal, starting with leftovers.

We will sing at Kirsten's Birthday Mass this afternoon and then celebrate with a Fish Fry at John's afterward.  I love his tradition of keeping her memory alive with a yearly birthday celebration.  I am bringing a Kale Slaw and a Pasta Salad.

Tomorrow the choir is going over to our member, Eleanor's house to celebrate her 100th birthday.  We are each bringing a dish.  I am bringing Chicken Marsala and Pasta Alfredo.

Monday are meeting the Bonacorsis and Luths for lunch.  Dinner is another Meatless Monday Pizza. Stay tuned for that recipe.

Thursday we are taking Marissa and Aiden to Hibachi Grill for her birthday dinner and then celebrating with the rest of the family on Saturday.
