Asperagus and Mushroom Cashew Pizza

It was an absolutely disgusting day in Montreal today. The weatherman said light snow... the reality was less than light, It was pretty rough.

So I decided to make a springish pizza to cheer myself up! (Snow not being my favorite thing on the planet... actually it's one of my least favorite things, which begs the question why I live in Canada)

Asperagus and Mushroom Cashew Pizza
Ingredients
Pizza dough for 1 pizza
Cashew Cheese (I used the recipe linked!) Grated
Stalks of Asparagus
Tomato Sauce
Mushrooms , sliced
Basil, Salt, Pepper, Oregano

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425.
Roll out your dough on a pizza tray, with a bit of cornstarch if you want. Bake for 5 minutes to sort of firm it up. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Take your stalks of asparagus, and cut off the bottom inch. Chop into little chunks, and leave the tops a few inches long, to put on the top as decoration :)
Spread the pasta sauce over the dough, and top with the mushrooms, and asperagus. Then top with the cheese and spices.
Arrange the asparagus tops on top, and return the pizza to the oven. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until cheese is browning. Take it out, cut it, and enjoy!

Peanut Butter Covered Banana Waffles

So I'm at my mums. It's beautiful here, as she seems to live in some idyllic country-side manor. (All is great but for the bugs! Always the bugs!)

Check out this idyllic shot of what I get to look at as I eat my meals. What you can't see is that behind the deck is not one, but two gorgeous ponds, beautiful rolling green fields, and a forest in the background.

All my mums. Her place is gorgeous.

As I mentioned before, this often means that my food selections are limited at best. However, I managed to scrape together enough stuff to make me some delicious waffles!

I found a bag of pre-made gluten free mix (including Xanthan in it) so use a pre-made mix with xanthan, as I'm not sure how much you should use.

This makes enough for one big-ol belgian waffle, which was more than plenty for me.

I also used much more peanut butter than a normal person would. Use caution in your peanut butter saucing

Banana Waffle with Peanut Butter Maple Sauce

Ingredients:

Waffle:

1/2 Cup GF flour mix (or normal flour if not gluten free!)

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup water

1/2 banana, mashed

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 tbsp oil

1 tbsp sugar

dash of salt

Peanut Butter Spread

2 tbsp peanut butter

3-4 tbsp maple syrup

3-4 tbsp water (for viscosity)

Directions:

First, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together in a bowl to combine well. 

Add in the water, banana, oil and vanilla, and stir until everything is nice and combined. 

Heat up your waffle iron, and spray with some non-stick spray, pouring the mixture on and spreading it out a bit, so that it forms roughly a circle (I'm terrible at making circular waffles!)

While that cooks, mix together your maple syrup, peanut butter, and water in a bowl. 

Nuke in the microwave for 30 seconds or so, and then take it out and mix it up. It should get nice and creamy while you mix it!

When the waffle is done, plop it onto a plate, and spread or squeeze the sauce on top. Then eat. EAT!
