Are you planning anything special for Labor Weekend? It’s the last long summer weekend. The pool will be closed for the summer. I always liked Labor weekend. This weekend is also special for me. My oldest son was born a day just before this weekend 10 years ago.

To celebrate his birthday we had an ice cream and we went for lunch to Panera Bread. My son’s favorite restaurant. Did you know that Panera is going to be a clean eating restaurant. At least here in Canada. I saw a sign at the door the other day. No chemicals will be used in food. That’s great. I am happy that my son likes this restaurant and not the fast food chains.

I’m a party food blogger mainly but I cook everything from scratch. I read labels when I’m buying something. I buy lots of organic ingredients, not everything. I can’t afford that.

However, let’s get back to my kale and bacon pizza. My children love pizza. This is their favorite food. Oh well, what can I do –> I buy sometimes. However, the best option for me is to make it from scratch rather than buying the ready to go pizza. I know what ingredients I am using. I can also substitute some flours. Like in this bacon pizza. I used whole wheat flour + all-purpose flour.

To make the dough it’s not difficult. I like working with yeast. So don’t be scared. It is easy.

Easy! Just put ingredients to the food processor and mix. Then, wait 1 hour, so your dough will grow.

Our favorite pizza is bacon pizza. I also love different variety of veggies on my pizza. Today, I had a kale in my fridge, so I thought it will be perfect idea to add it to our pizza. Mushrooms are a must for my pizza.

  1. Happy birthday to your son! I’m particular about the foods we buy too. I’m alway reading labels so it takes me twice as long to grocery shop..My kids get so bored, haha! They love pizza too and I prefer to make it from scratch so you can use the ingredients you like. A kale bacon pizza is such a great idea and I know my family will love it! Thanks, Ilona!

  2. Fridays are pizza nights in our house, and this version looks insane! I love the kale and bacon combo. I’m thinking I need to recreate this version pretty soon!
