Uh...Hi :)

Hello there, my name is Jess and I am a clean eater. I thought I might need to introduce myself again after my month long hiatus! I am desperate need of an eat clean overhaul. I feel like I am doing pretty well, but I also feel like I am stuck in some what of a rut. I am definitely eating like the same five things every day...all day long ha! I have also been a little sweet toothy. So I think I just need to be more mindful. One piece of dark chocolate every once in a while is not so bad. But a piece everyday makes me just crave sweets all the time!

Last night I made southwestern pizza. I have made this pizza before, the only difference is this time I used cottage cheese. It was interesting. It actually did taste really good, it was just...well juicy. The recipe is quite simple.

Crust

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 package of yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp honey
1/4 cup cornmeal (optional)
1 cup warm water

Mix together and knead for a few minutes, let sit for at least 5-10 minutes to let it rise.

Toppings

Organic salsa
about a cup of cottage cheese
chicken strips (frozen, I microwaved them before adding them to the pizza)
Pepper strips (also frozen and microwaved)
2 handfulls of mexican blend cheese to top it off

Bake on 400 for 10-15 minutes and ENJOY! :)
