Pizza Night

Splurging on the weekend with pizza & movies feels like a natural thing to do. 

We ordered in from Boston Pizza. My boyfriend got a Small Pepperoni Pizza...

And I got a large Santa Fe Salad with Chicken Breast

Now, back to relaxing. Tomorrow will be Eggs & Bacon and

 plenty of time spent doing nothing, and loving every bit of it!

DunnEnzie's Pizza Co.

I recently moved to Kelowna and was desperate to find a pizza joint that
had the most satisfying gluten free pizza with lactose free cheese. After
 having walked past DunnEnzie's Pizza Co., many times over and over,
 salivating at the smell of fresh cooked pizza pies, I went to check it out. 

DunnEnzie's atmosphere is UPBEAT, urban with a vintage twist, and
 the kindest, FRIENDLIEST, hardworking staff. Even on a busy day, you
 can just walk in and the wait time has always been shorter than predicted

One of the staff members, Jessie, even used his own artistic talent to
paint a feature wall mural that is stunning, impressive, and left me
 feeling grateful my pizza was being served up with an Artist's touch

To my surprise, they had gluten free pizza with DAIYA CHEESE;
 not just the usual "lactose free cheese" other pizzeria's serve up

Showing my appreciation for my boyfriend,
having treated me to a dine-in/take-out date night

Gluten Free Pineapple and Spinach Pizza with Extra Daiya Cheese

I savored every bit of it (and even shared a little too with my man)

Among the amazing thorough list of fun and creative pizza names and
toppings, they are open to different personalized selections to allow the
customer to feel like they are really getting the most bang for their buck...

...speaking of which, the price is quite reasonable and in fact the
cheapest I have found in regards to the quality of ingredients used

FIVE STARS!!!!! I will be back for more as my
taste buds won't let me stop talking raving about it

Trust me on this one, head to DunnEnnzie's Pizza Co.
downtown if you're in the neighbourhood. Even if just for
a fresh and hot single slice, you will be so glad you did!!!

Gluten Free Frozen Pizza

I'm not a huge fan of frozen foods, but when I saw that Thrifty Foods

(Owned by Sobey's) now carries Gluten Free Pizza, I had to try it out!

Gluten Free 8-inch Margherita Frozen Pizza

$4.99 and sweetened with cane sugar, with no added milk ingredients

There were no baking instructions so I guestimated the 

oven temperature for 380 Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes 

In the oven you go my friend...

Tip: Spray the baking sheet with oil before so it doesn't break in half like mine did!

This pizza passed my taste test and was extremely flavourful and savory, yet light and 

airy at the same time. I'm more of a thick-crust girl so I was surprised with the results!

Question: What is your favorite frozen pizza brand?

The Gluten Free Store

I am a huge supporter of drawing attention to local businesses

 that are working hard to bring health and wellness to the community

The Calgary Gluten Free Store is doing just that through 

the availability of local and international gluten free products

Don't let the "Purified Water Store" sign fool you 

as it did me... the store is a combination of both 

"Hundreds of products inside"

Eat Pizza with Judy G's gluten free pizzas and frozen meals

Purified water

One of the aisles

Allergic Solution's dry mixes such as Carob Cake Mix, Egg Bread Mix and Waffle Mix

XL Veggie Taco from Earth's Oven Bakery

Hot cereals, cold cereals and granolas

Piccola Cucina Italian macaroons

Thoz Barz Soft Baked Snack Bars

Some of the flavors include Classic Raisin/Chocolate

 Chip, Apple/Cranberry and Blueberry/Coconut

Nutrition Facts: 200 calories and 11 grams fat

Another section of more gluten free products

Chips and snack foods

Soups, mixes and seasonings

Baking mixes

They'll be getting a new shipment of Only Oats soon which I can't wait for!

Freezers in the back room

Frozen pre-made gluten free meals

Patsy Pie Mini Muffins: Morning Glory with Flax

Copper Pot Creations Spaghetti Bolognese

And Vegetable Shepherd's Pie

I am grateful that Calgary is home to such great stores like this one. With

so many people experiencing issues with digesting wheat and/or gluten,

having access to wheat grain replacements becomes an invaluable resource!

Cheesy Spinach and Ham Pizza

Between working and exploring the city, I seem to 

always work up quite the appetite, especially for pizza!

This is my homemade cheese pizza creation with ham, spinach and red onion

I used a store bought whole wheat pizza crust and smothered it in pizza 

sauce before topping with fresh spinach, light italiano shredded cheese,

 sliced ham and chicken breast, red onion and a sprinkle of black pepper

Then I baked it in the oven at 350 Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes

 homemade pizza and what toppings did you use?
