Homemade pepperoni & sausage pizza.

The edge of the crust has a garlic basil butter & fontina filling, then folded over itself.

I made an easy no-cooked pizza sauce and use 3 types of cheeses topping:

* fontina

* mozzarella

* munster cheese (brings the flavor up a notch)

Also topped with onion, bell peppers, black olives & tomatoes

Made a yogurt parfait for lunch with fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana, Greek yogurt, honey & homemade strawberry jam. Only thing missing & couldn't find in the supermarket was was granola.

I wanted to create it in a glass cup to look all classy before eating it, but settle for a bowl since it was quick & convenient to do. I noticed in the pic it was topped with shredded coconut. I didn't think of adding it when I was making the dish.
