Spring Break Day 3

This whole waking up at 11 everyday is throwing me off. However, I was exited to open the fridge here at my sisters and see the stuff from Einstein's Bagels.

I had a 9 grain bagel which was very seedy. It would have been pretty boring with regular cream cheese, but I remembered my mom picked a different kind this time.

I have only ever had regular cream cheese because I don't like fruit, however, I just discovered my new favorite spread. The honey almond smear they carry is amazing!!! It is delightfully lightly sweetened as opposed to the tartness of regular cream cheese (ew) and there were a couple of lumps from almonds.

Plus, it finally felt like spring break today. It actually got to be over 60 degrees so I tried to suntan a little after lunch. Sadly, I didn't know that the medication I started a couple of months ago makes my skin sensitive to sun. I got a burn in less than an hour and my arms and face has been itchy sense.
But, my dog was sure happy that we spent time out there.

For dinner I was craving pizza, so I just went with a Red Baron Deep Dish Single.

Red Baron Singles Deep Dish 4 Cheese Pizza Review

Today I decided to buy and try Red Baron Singles Deep Dish 4 Cheese Pizza 
In a box you get two pizza, and a serving is one 410 calorie pizza.

At first glance, it looks like a typical frozen pizza, with a few different colors of cheese pieces, and some kind of seasoning. It is rather small at about a 6 inch diameter.
The box says you can microwave it with the cardboard crisp tray, or you can bake in in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. I chose the oven because whenever I do microwave with these types of pizzas, they are always undercooked tasting.
When I took it out after 20 minutes, the cheese had puffed up tall and the sides were dark and crispy (the bottom was still really light, but it felt crispy and I didn't want to overdo it). It smelled like a typical frozen pizza, which is hard to explain, I guess the closest relation is a grilled cheese smell.

When I took a bite, the crust of the edges were sharp and hurt the roof of my mouth. The cheese was alright, but it was not as cheesy as you would imagine a 4 cheese pizza being. Also, the sauce was bland and there was a lot of it. However, the crust on the interior of the pizza was wonderful. The bottom had a crunch, but above it was soft and chewy. 

Pros: The interior crust and the single serving size.
Cons: The cheese and sauce did not taste very cheesy and saucy.

Taste: 4/10
Texture: 6/10 The interior crust was nice but the edge crust and sauce was not.
Amount for calories: 8/10 Although not big, it was filling.
Overall: 7/10

The individual pizza is great for when I just want to heat something up for myself and not do a whole lot to prepare, but next time I am definitely going to try a different brand.
