This was the cheesiest and most saucy pizza I have ever made. I started with the garlic herb pizza dough from @traderjoes and covered it with a traditional marinara and vegan mozzarella cheese. Did you know their fresh pizza doughs are also vegan? I then sauteed some garlic, onion, bell pepper, scotch bonnet and pancetta to cover the cheese. Lastly added sliced tomatoes and sundried tomatoes. I used the oil from the sundrieds to cover the crust so it was nice and crispy after it baked. When she came out, she got a couple of fresh basil leaves. I also fried a piece of dough and ate it carnival style. A little pizza' heaven 😋😏 #ctiffeat #ct #Connecticut #pizza #homemade #traderjoes #vegan #spicy #eeeeeats #food #foodie #dinner #foodphotography #yummy #tasty #bestfoodfeed (at Bridgeport, Connecticut)

Sometimes I start with one ingredient and then pull things out of the fridge and cabinets, prep, pop in a pan and see what I get. Had to use up more of those garden gifted tomatoes and I wish I had them raw because they were so juicy and tasty by themselves. They did added great flavor combined with the garlic and Italian seasoning. The shrimp and broccoli were sauteed before simmering in a splash of almond milk and parmesan cheese. Can't quite give it a name. I don't know what this was exactly... other than delicious! 😄😋 #ctiffeat #ct #foodie #homemade #shrimp #healthyfood #yummy #tasty #eeeeeats #foodporn (at Connecticut)

Here's a little step by step of the breading process for the fried Mac and a Cheese balls from my story a few days ago. My mom made some Mac that she wasn't thrilled about so I took it off her hands to transform it. The panko made it super crunchy. My favorite dip was marinara (hotsauce and ketchup a close second). A labor of love to make these but well worth it! 😋😁 #ctiffeat #ct #macandcheese #friedmacncheese #bakedmacandcheese #panko #homemade #food #foodie #zipkick #hungry #eeeeeats #tasty #buzzfeedfood #foodnetwork #ctfoodlovers (at Bridgeport, Connecticut)

So I've never had an acai bowl. Not even really sure the right way to say it 😅 Ah-Sigh-Eee? Either way, I wanted to try making one. I bought some frozen packs from @traderjoes (and everything I used here pretty much) and blend one with frozen banana, mango, pineapple, strawberries and some coconut water. Basically everything in my freezer for smoothies. On top I used my favorite yogurt and oatmeal toppers. Chia seeds, granola, strawberries, shredded coconut, super ripe banana and the last of my blazeberries. I made a huge bowl and it filled me up! This might be my new favorite summer breakfast treat 😋😄 #ctiffeat #ct #connecticut #acai #acaibowl #homemade #diy #food #foodie #healthy #vegan #traderjoes #recipe #recipes #breakfast #tastethisnext #foodnetwork #buzzfeedfood #eeeeeats #zipkick #bestfoodfeed (at Bridgeport, Connecticut)

A little #motivation on this gloomy #humpday 👌🏼: Just a little reminder not to give up or doubt yourself. All the strength and drive you need is inside of you. When things seem impossible and you feel like you've bitten off more than you can chew, remind yourself that you've had tougher things to swallow and you're still here! You can get this one down too! Give it your all and do your best. Make yourself proud. It'll pay off 😋💪🏼 #ctiffeat #ct #inspiration #wednesday #eating #foodie #food #strength (at Rio Bravo Tacos & Tequila)
