LE SIGH.... Today was one of the longest days EVER! I worked on my feet for 9 hours at the health food store with one 30 minute break then came home and made dinner, did laundry, and am now finally sitting down to relax a little.
My breakfast was a bowl of
GF oats mixed with 2 teaspoons of frozen banana puree (courtesy of my fabulous mother in law!), frozen blueberries, and cinnamon. Open wide!

I also enjoyed a side dish of
watermelon.

Lunch for work was packed while my oats cooked. My tupperware contained
spinach, broccoli, and leftover Channa Palak "Gross-ala" sweetened with a little Agave Nectar.

The agave was the golden ticket! It turned the "Gross-ala" in to "Yum-ala"! On my 30 minute break, I micro-steamed this concoction for 2 minutes. YUMMY!

GF Guy and I weren't able to eat dinner until 10:00 PM. I didn't get home until 8:45. Then, dinner had to be prepped, etc.... Comfort food was in order. Tonight, that meant
pizza! I used my favorite pizza crust mix by
Chebe.

This mix, like all Chebe mixes, is foolproof and delicious and already has the spices mixed in! You simply add 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 4 tablespoons of milk (or milk substitute) to the prepared mix, roll it out, and bake. I use a small glass as my "rolling pin"!

hahahahaha Sometimes it's about survival, my friends! :-D After rolling out the dough, stab it with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming and bake in a 375 degree oven until lightly browned. Remove from the oven, top with your favorite ingredients, and bake until heated through. We topped our pizza with the basics: Muir Glen Pizza Sauce, fresh Basil, and a 6 Italian Cheese blend.

Would you take a look at that crust?

Yummy, right?!

I ate HALF of the pizza! Don't judge! I was a hungry, hungry bear! I cleansed my palate with a few cubes of watermelon, and am now contemplating chocolate chip cookies and milk!
I have soooo much to do tomorrow to prepare for our trip. Pray I'll get some extra energy to accomplish everything!

ReplyDeleteI never thought about it before, but banana puree would be a great way to sweeten foods I eat. I usually just mash the bananas..hmmmm..you sparked an idea for me! :)
ReplyDeletewow the pizzza~~~!
Thanks for the comment on my blog! Hope you enjoy the recipe! :) That pizza looks amazing...I haven't tried any gluten-free pizza mixes yet, so I'll definitely have to give that one a go.
ReplyDeleteThat crust does look awesome! I'll have to tell my sister in law about it.
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that crust. When I come back to the U.S. I'll look for it in stores.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fulfilling day.
Besos!
Who can blame you for eating half the pizza? The photo makes me hungry.
ReplyDeleteI should make this for my husband. I know he would appreciate it. He will thank you from our kitchen when I give it to him for a dinner.
