Today was a great morning. I have been jogging on the treadmill since the start of the year (one of those new years resolution things) but today I was able to run for 55 minutes. Usually I run for 20-30 minutes but for some reason I had the energy to keep going.
For breakfast I was making the big bowl when I realized we had the fajita leftovers. I decided to add black beans to the peppers and onions and hash browns and microwave the mixture. This came out excellent and was a great start to the day.
For lunch I was able to avoid the Bojangles run as I brought in the leftover quinoa salad. I was surprised how good this was after 5 days or more in the refrigerator.
During our class on Monday Jenn had mentioned that the bakery and pizza area was still trying to figure our a good E2 approved pizza dough recipe. Since I have made my own pizza dough in the past I figured I was up for the challenge. I started by googling 'no oil pizza dough' to see what might come up. I did find a few decent templates to work from. After using a combination of 3-4 recipes the dough was complete.
I then added a can of crushed tomatoes, onion, mushroom, olives as the base layer. I then crushed some cashews and mixed that with some nutritional yeast as my cheese replacement. I then found a recipe for no oil pesto and combined fresh basil, tomato, garlic and pine nuts.
The end product did not come out too badly, but I think it is back to the drawing board for a better dough.
