Table for eight?

Happy Wednesday! Last night I got a great night's sleep, which made the day start off wonderfully. I woke up at around 7:50, ate a breakfast of Cheerios and Strawberry Special K topped with fresh bananas and strawberries. I had a small bowl of grapes on the side. Luckily, I found some extra time before work, so I did the ab Beach Body DVD. I rushed through my shower and made a delicious salad for lunch right before leaving for work at 10:30. Darn, the restaurant was busy today! We had so many people come. At one point our estimated wait time was 3 hours! Because we were so busy, the day flew by. My shift ended at 6, so I took the time to buy some jewelry for some sorority stuff coming up, then I looked at Macy's for a black dress that I need. After finding nothing really exciting, I made the decision to use a dress that I already have. It's a bit formal for the occasion, but it should work fine. On the way home from the mall I stopped by the grocery store to pick up some ingredients for dinner.
Once home, I started dinner by making the flatbread first. I took the pizza dough (I made it earlier in the week) out of the fridge and rolled out a small portion of it until it was almost paper thin. Then I topped the dough with about two spoonfuls of plain tomato sauce. Next I sliced three tomatoes from the garden and placed them all over the top of the pizza. To keep the pizza lower in calories I simply grated a small amount of asiago cheese over the top for just a hint of cheesy flavor. Lastly, I sprinkled the top with chopped basil and dried oregano and left it out on the counter until my dad arrived home. With the spare time in between the pizza and my dad's arrival, I made a large salad of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, hearts of palm, and cucumbers.

My dad came home shortly, so I baked the flatbread in the oven on the hottest temperature (500) until the crust became crispy. It made the house smell divine!


Here's my plate:

Now I'm watching Pursuit of Happyness with my parents and sipping on vanilla sleepytime tea. Good night!
