I love this concept, so I am sharing with you. I have already started the challenge and will try to keep it as a part of my life. And yes, somehow I am even going to unplug...Click through for the entire post...

30 days of giving love | Tim Wheaton Photography | Southern California Natural Light Photographer:

"I’m creating this challenge… for myself, and hoping to continue with it beyond just this next month of November… but I wanted to share it and challenge you all… any of you, to take it on yourself as well. Alter it if you want… but I would also challenge you: if you do alter it, make it more rather than less."

The Curvy Carrot » Four Cheese White Pizza (and a Blog Anniversary!)

The Curvy Carrot » Four Cheese White Pizza (and a Blog Anniversary!)

So, now, let’s talk about this pizza. I have made pizza dough before, but this particular pizza dough recipe is my favorite so far, thanks to Annie. I followed both her tutorial (please visit her website for detailed instructions and photos) and recipe to a tee, and I couldn’t have been happier. Now I have pizza dough (it reminds me of Pizza Hut’s Pan Pizza) in my freezer, waiting to be thawed and made into some great weeknight pizzas over the coming weeks…and seriously, what offers more creative liberty than making your own pizza? And what makes better leftovers than pizza?

I have always been a fan of white pizzas, and with all these great options for cheeses out here, I knew I couldn’t go wrong with a four cheese pizza..with my favorite herb: basil. The cheese choices could be easily substituted with your own favorites, but I personally loved the combination of both the softer ricotta and goat cheeses with the mozzarella and Parmesans. I put a little red pepper flakes on mine and sprinkled a teensy bit of flaked sea salt on top. SO GOOD!
