I didn’t have pizza for quite a while because I couldn’t find a good vegan cheese substitute but what’s a Friday night-in without a pizza and a movie? Earlier this year my mom bought some Trader Joe’s Vegan Mozzarella shreds and I finally found an option that I enjoyed in small amounts. So, I either use the Trader Joe’s Vegan Mozzarella shreds or I make my own cheesy drizzle that takes 2 minutes. The recipe is included below.
My hubby and I are busy watching the X-Men series in chronological order and I am so grateful that we have similar movie taste. I mean seriously, imagine if he loved horror movies? What would we do? I can’t stand horror, I can barely watch psychological thrillers now that I’m a mom (something weird happened to me and I have zero tolerance for scary things) so what would I do, read a book in the other room while he watched by himself? Luckily, we love criminal dramas (again not too violent or scary), anything sy-fy, action + adventure and the occasional comedy or rom-com thats not too below-the-belt.
