Gluten Free and Gluten Full

I ventured out yesterday to get a few things, and to take a walk through Ballard to lift my spirits. There's something soothing about all of the Bernie signs and bumper stickers, and I swear you can taste the open mindedness. When I lived in Seattle before, I got so bogged down by life, and my almost constant struggles that I took the progressive tone of this city for granted. But, while I was living in Erie, I longed for Seattle sooooooooooo much. I had gotten so used to liberal people, that being in backwoods Erie where you can feel and taste the racism and misery, I was suffocating.  That's why these hate filled attacks actually shock me less than before. Because I saw with my own eyes the severe amount of ignorant hatred there is in just one city, and there are cities much worse than Erie.So, after this hate filled past weekend, seeing all of the rainbows and signs of unity really made me feel better. Plus, I got to meet the SWEETEST French bulldog puppy that gave me tons of kisses, and it was just what I needed. I wish I had taken a picture, but alas I didn't bring my phone or camera.
I picked up a few things at a bigger Safeway, and they had more varieties of graham crackers, and not a one was vegan! FYI, Honey Maid, the brand apparently really means business because honey is an ingredient in all of their flavors that I saw. I haven't eaten, or thought about a dang graham cracker in years, and now I am desperate to find some! Life is funny that way.

booch,tofu,gardein gluten free burgers(new to me) pineapple juice,oranges, and Chao!!!! and Havarti jalapeno daiya

I was looking for the gardein beefless burgers, and these gluten free ones were in the spot. These are different than the chipotle black bean burgers, which I know are gluten free as well. These are made with brown rice and veggies.

Here's a close up of the bag. I have never seen these, have you? I feel so behind the gardein game! I like to be up on all the newest! It looks like maybe a "beefier" version of the original gardenburger? I used to love those burgers so much!
For dinner I had kind of a fail, but an edible fail. I had some leftover pesto sauce, and some tofurky roasted chik'n, so I wanted to make like a pesto chicken pizza, which I see on pizza menus a lot. I used the same recipe I always do for the dough, but for whatever reason the dough was extremely hard for me to work with once it had risen. I feel like my energy got transferred into the dough, and all of my negative emotions made it super testy. So, the crust was wayyyyyy too thick, but the toppings were good!

I just kind of sliced each slice in half to make it less like a huge slab of bread with some stuff on it. Like I said, I know it isn't the recipe, because seriously I have used the same recipe for years. It was totally me. Oh well, at least it was edible, and today is another day right?
If you're into Starbucks, this might interest you!
Happy Thursday!
