Dear Blog, I have not forgotten about you! I promise! I realized I haven't actually posted a recipe in quite some time ha! I need to get on the ball! In the past few weeks I have thrown together some recipes that have turned out REALLY well!
Southwestern pizza
Crust
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup flax meal
1 tsp agave nectar
1tsp active yeast
1 tsp salt
1 cup lukewarm water
Mix all ingredients together and kneed the dough for a good five minutes. Cover and let the dough rise for an hour. Knead the dough for an additional few minutes before rolling out onto the pizza pan.
Toppings
Salsa (I used natural chunky salsa from costco). Use as much as you would like on your pizza.
1/2 cup corn (I used trader joe's roasted corn...soooooooooo good!)
Shredded chicken breast (Again...trader joe's! I always buy the frozen chicken strips to have on hand, they are lightly seasoned and delicious).
A few handfuls of low fat mexican style cheese
Toss in the oven (preheated to 450) for 12-15 minutes. This pizza was GOOOOOOD! Dustin and I were both big fans!
Black Bean Brownies (beware, you are going to want to eat the entire pan)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
3 egg whites
2-3 tbsp coconut oil (or any other clean vegetable oil)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (I used a little more than this)
pinch of salt
1/2 cup agave nectar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8x8 baking pan. Throw all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour batter into baking pan and smooth with spatula. It's optional to top with dark chocolate chips (I had semisweet chocolate chips that I used). Bake for 30 mins and let cool completely before cutting into them. These are so good! I put them in the freezer so I can just pop them out whenever I am getting a chocolate craving!
