What do you like to use your weekends for? Do you relax? Play? Go out of town? Maybe you have to work on the traditional weekend, and your weekend is in the middle of the regular work week?

My ideal weekend includes lots of down time. But, that doesn’t always mean lounging on the couch and watching movies all day (although an occasional day like that is wonderful, important even, in my opinion). For me it means some relaxing in front of the TV probably (hopefully catching whatever baseball game is on on Saturday afternoon), but also doing lots of little and random things around our home, that I might not get to during the week. Like transplanting our olive trees and digging in my garden, organizing a cupboard (yes, this is actually fun to me), planning our menu, rearranging furniture, making stocks and breads, cleaning out the fridge… I’m also happy when our weekend includes things like: walking the dog, sleeping in a little bit, popcorn, reading a good book, dinner with friends, church, reading a cooking magazine cover to cover, good TV and movies, a  glass of wine on the patio with Husband, laughter…

Weekends away are great, but I sure love a weekend at home.

Most Fridays we have pizza for dinner. “Pizza Fridays” I call them. I love being creative with pizza. It’s fun and really yummy. This past Friday I didn’t make any pizza dough. I got distracted with work and other things on my to do list. Not too big of a deal. I had a baguette that I sliced in half and topped with Margherita Pizza toppings. It was quick and easy and tasty.

In case you have a dough-less pizza night, here’s a cheater version. 🙂

Happy Eating!
