Friday– notorious pizza day

I’m back food lovers! And now I work downtown Toronto, with plenty of lunch break experiences to blog about.

On today’s menu: Pizzaiolo.

This authentic Italian pizzeria, which is located at 289 Dundas, serves the most delicious slices. For only $5…and that includes a drink!

In my eyes, the thing that makes the average pizza place stand out is the kinds of slices they serve. It’s nice when the types available vary beyond your everyday pepperoni and garden veggie. At Pizzaiolo the types of slices you can order have great range.

I decided to try Vittoria, which is topped with zucchini, tomatoes and roasted red peppers. Crazy delicious. A must try. Happppy friday everyone!

Ohhhh, so that’s why you have to take your B12..

Upon becoming a vegetarian my mother insisted that I ask my doctor what vitamins I should take in order to keep my health strong and my energy high.  Now every time I got to see my doctor she asks, “Have you been taking your Iron and your B12?”  (I actually take a vitamin which contains both B6, and B12 with Foilic Acid, which was later recommended by my pharmacist) I would take these vitamins in spurts, you know, whenever I could remember… The end result? I always felt like crap.

So, finally I got my google on and took a look into what B12 actually does. I already understand that I have to take Iron, because almost all women are low in iron and not eating meat would decrease my overall iron even further. No iron = No energy.  But what does B12 do? Turns out, B12 isn’t found in most plant foods and your red blood cells need it to keep your body functioning properly. With a B12 deficiency some can experience extreme fatigue, moods swings, or even depression.  Therefore, it’s extra important for us veggies to take our B12 daily.

And hey, B12 is also said to help with weight loss, as it helps to burn carbs into sugars that are easily used for energy in the body. Again, take your B12.

Delicious Pizza, Decent Price

Once upon a tired Friday, 3 for 1 Pizza provided a very tasty experience for myself and my roommate. It was delivered hot, with savory, fresh toppings. The 3 for 1 deal, as the name suggests, was nothing short of fabulous. My own small pizza was a classic cheese, with pineapple on top. And of course, we also ordered garlic dipping sauce. The end.
