This delicious white sauce pizza is on the healthier side and is topped with black beans, spinach, and mozzarella cheese.

Good morning!  Today’s post is going to be quick, as I am on a mission to get some outside painting done.  The skies are currently threatening rain, but I’m hoping that the dark clouds will go away soon.  I don’t know why we thought it would be a good idea to paint our deck during Florida’s rainy season.  The attempt has become an ongoing battle between us and the rain clouds.  I’m convinced they think it’s a game.

Katherine:  “Hey, the weather is nice and the radar is indicating no rain until this afternoon!  I’m going to get some painting done!”
Clouds:  “Oh, well, I’ll just move a little faster then.”  *clouds arrive and sit over house for hours without raining, and then start pouring as soon as Katherine considers going back outside*
Katherine:  “Seriously?  I hate you guys.”

Since the rain is being so annoying, I would rather write about this pizza.  It is Friday, after all, and Friday evenings make the best pizza nights at our house. 🙂

Black beans are one of my favorite pizza toppings.  They are delicious and add a nice protein boost, making the pizza filling without being too heavy.  Add some white sauce, spinach, and mozzarella cheese, and the result is a very tasty meal!

*Random aside*  I enjoy sharing my recipes, but taking pictures of the food before I eat it does make me feel kind of ridiculous, and I get cracked up at myself sometimes.  My apologies to all the “foodies” out there, but I personally don’t get the social media phenomenon of, “Let’s photograph ALL the food!!!”.  I don’t have a problem with it; I just don’t understand it.  Before I started my food blog, I only took such pictures on occasion (for instance, if I had cooked or baked something new and wanted to share).  Even here, I simply try to post a few appetizing photos to show you what the food looks like and give you the desire to try the recipe.  I don’t spend much time styling the dishes or baked goods, and my photos have very little editing.  My husband and I eat everything that I post.  This can be kind of amusing when Casey is hungry and I’m trying to get in a quick photography session before slicing the pizza.  *End random aside*

Enjoy and happy Friday!
