healthy 5-minute pizza

Pizza is a huge healthy-eating challenger. Oozey-gooey stringy cheese covering crispy bread topped with toasty toppings of choice...yes please. Next time you have a big pizza craving, make a healthy 5-minute pizza instead. This is hardly even a recipe, it's completely malleable to your cravings, and even better it is actually ready within 5 minutes. Talk about instant gratification!
 

Ingredients (for 4 mini pizzas):
2 whole wheat english muffins
4 tbs tomato sauce
1 tbs olive oil *optional: produces the greasy component*
1/3 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella
2 tbs shredded mixed cheeses (or just some cheddar)
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 shallot, chopped (they're like mini onion rings!)

Directions:
1. Lightly toast english muffins. 

2. If making a white-pizza (with no sauce), drizzle olive oil on the bottom. Or add 1 tbs tomato sauce to each half. Top with a pinch of basil & oregano.
 

 

3. Top with cheeses & toppings of choice.
 

4. Pop in oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted.
 

 

5. Enjoy warm with oozing cheese & all of the pizza flavor in a smaller personalized portion with a much healthier twist.

simple weekend recap: edition 21

This weekend started early with this little blizzard you may have heard about...Nemo is it? After driving bans were lifted, Erin made her way to the dog park to enjoy the 2 feet of fluffy snow that was delivered...

...before heading home to sleep off all of that bounding through the snow, while Moose waited for more.

 

 

I made an easy vodka sauce with whole wheat penne, peas & chicken for a relaxing night in (recipe tomorrow)...

 

 

...and 5-minute light personal pizzas for lunch the next day ("recipe" this week).

 

 

Saturday night we braved the snowy roads to rejoin human civilization at Casa B.

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday was spent in relaxing with corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage and prepping & planning for the week ahead.
