Thursdays are always crazy busy for me. I go to work, go to the grocery store, go home and put everything away, and then have to cook and eat dinner before yoga class at 7:30 at night. On yoga nights I have to make simple and quick meals, but I still want them to be nutritious and delicious. Last night we sort of just came up with this pizza recipe because we wanted to use up some veggies and some cooking creme before it expired. We were pleasantly surprised that it tasted as good as it did. For those that know my husband, he is a standard pepperoni and banana peppers kind of pizza guy, so for him to love this pizza is a big deal. We served this pizza with some fresh steamed green beans.
Normally I always make homemade wheat pizza dough but I forgot to make it on Wednesday night so I had to go with the store bought pizza dough that is ready in like 8 minutes. I did buy the 100% whole wheat version and it was thin crust, so you got your grains and kept the carbs down. It wasn't as tasty as my homemade version but it definitely still tasted good.
