Recipe: Carrot Onion Pizza

I made the most amazing HEALTHY pizza tonight! I was shocked. Carrot-onion pizza. I know, sounds awesome, right?

Okay I've had a cold/viral-infestation for about 2 weeks on and off now, so I went to the store to stock up on some fruits and veggies (nature's medicine!). While there, I realized I had most of the ingredients for pizza sauce in my cart (thank you for enlightening me, Jamie Oliver!). So... pizza it was.

Of course when I got home, I realized I didn't actually have any toppings in the fridge. Time to get creative. Normally I stick to a recipe like glue, but I was feeling oddly brave, so I grabbed what I had and made due. Hence... carrot-onion pizza. It really did turn out amazing. I promise!

Tomato Pizza Sauce

INGREDIENTS

4 vine-ripened tomatoes, blanched and quartered
6 TB olive oil
1 yellow onion, quartered
4 cloves garlic, smashed
4 oz container of organic, fresh basil leaves (a large bunch)
salt
pepper

DIRECTIONS

Remove the skins from everything (unless you don't want to). Pour about 6 TB of olive oil into a hot frypan. Cut off the stems of the basil and throw that into the pan. Add garlic, onion, and tomatoes. Add a dash of salt & pepper.

Bring to a boil and them simmer about 10 minutes - until it starts becoming fragrant. The tomatoes should be liquifying by this point. Get a strainer and push everything through it, saving only the liquid. Simmer that liquid for another 5 minutes or so.

Veggie Pizza

INGREDIENTS

1 Boboli whole wheat crust
the sauce you just made
parmesan cheese
mozzarella cheese
1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
1 clump green onions, diced
3-4 medium carrots, diced

DIRECTIONS

Pre-heat oven to 400. Chop up the veggies. Spread the sauce, cheese, and veggies onto the crust. Pop that in the oven when it's warm.

Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until done.

I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i...

Looking for a new church

For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
