Hello =) I can hardly believe that a week has gone by since my last post! With studying, cooking, cleaning, waitressing, and spending quality time with my husband =), weeks are just kind of flying by! I am most assuredly not complaining - God is good and has given me many blessings and I am thankful to be kept busy =)
But anyways, onto one of our favorite things to make and eat (devour really) - homemade pizza! I have always been fond of thick and buttery crusts, but I understand there is certain limitations to making a healthy homemade pizza crust that maintains those qualities. So it was my wonderful husband who suggested going the opposite direction for our crusts, making them thin and crispy. I found a wonderful recipe online that has made this my new favorite type of crust =). This recipe uses whole wheat flour and is very versatile. For this pizza below, I threw in some rolled oats and flax seeds just to amp up the nutrition, and it still turned out great. The dough is very hard when you go to roll it out, but don't worry, it doesn't crack or break easily. I'm definitely not picky about the shape of our pizzas, so the edges are usually quite jagged =).
I also found an easy baba ganoush recipe with added chickpeas. The flavor was not near as strong as normal baba ganoush. It was more like hummus with some extra flavor! I put together this loaded baba ganoush pizza and stuck in the oven for fifteen minutes. As we took our first bites Nathan looked at me and said, "We eat good!" =) This is our favorite type of pizza so far and I'm sure once eggplant is on sale again we will be eating it again. The links are at the bottom of the page, Enjoy!
