Junk Food

Do you eat junk food?  What’s your favorite junk food?

Pizza is probably my greatest junk food weakness.  Though I never order out, rather I make it from scratch or buy a prepared tomato and cheese, thin-crust pizza and load it up with fresh garlic,  spinach and mushrooms in an attempt to make it real food.

I haven’t made a pizza from scratch in a long while,  Co-operative Foods do such a great ready-made, thin-crust pizza it seems unnecessary to slave over making my own pizza crust – though when I did make them, I used whole wheat flour.  But you just can’t get the same texture with whole wheat as you can with the super-fine flour they use to make a proper pizza crust.

Depending on how hungry I am and what’s in the fridge, here are some of the things I like to pile on my pizzas:

• fresh mushrooms
• green olives
• fresh tomato
• onion
• garlic
• anchovies (I know! not veggie…)
• sardines (yes, another fish!)
• hot green or red peppers
• spinach
• rocket (arugula)
• one egg (cracked and laid to cook, sunny side up – in the centre of the pizza! Good with garlic and spinach, put it on last or it won’t cook!)

What’s your favorite junk food?  Do you consider pizza junk food?

I confess, I did a junk food binge this week, and no pizza! Instead it was organic carrot cake (amazing), Gu chocolate dessert, and a package of Kinder chocolate….oh well, there’s always next week!
