Today’s bake is a mushroom and corn pizza with homemade tomato sauce and herbs from the garden. Bonus-we have a lace ghost now haunting our living room that keeps making me laugh.
Picture of a rectangular pizza on a wooden cutting board. It has tomato sauce, cheese, onion, mushrooms, and corn on top. Ghost made of a lace table cloth and an embroidery hoop hanging in front of a window.

Monday night. 🌈🏮
White person with short brunette hair looks neutrally at the camera. They are sitting against a wooden fence wearing a striped button up and a tan jacket. The lighting makes everything look purple. A grey and white small dog sits looking at an empty rainbow lit back patio. Next to them is a small black and white dog in a backpack staring off.
