Thursday's dinner ....

PIZZA!!

 

I have not had pizza in what feels like forever.

I know I have not had it since I started eating clean July 10th.

 

So I was very excited for dinner tonight

The recipe is called Bacon Chicken pizza

the chicken, bacon and tomato sauce were all cooked

on Sunday. The pizza crust should have been cooked

Sunday night but I cheated on that one. I have been unable to find

coconut flour and arrowroot starch at a good price so I wasn't

prepared to make the crust. I just had the store brand crust for

tonight's dinner.

 

Like I said, the tomato sauce was cooked on Sunday and let

me say, it is wonderful. All recipes are from the

"Make Ahead Paleo" cookbook.

 

Red Sauce

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley (I used the flat left parsley)
• 1 28 oz can tomato sauce
• 2 - 6 oz cans tomato paste
• 1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp basil
• pinch of rosemary
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• freshly ground pepper to taste

`In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil.

Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes

Stir in the garlic and parsely

Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomatoes, oregano, basil, rosemary, sea salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce, covered, for 30 minutes.

 

On our pizza's we put the other half of the chicken I cooked on Sunday, chopped bacon, onions, black olives and mushrooms. And believe it or not, no cheese!!

I thought for sure Johnny would want cheese on his but no, he opted out

and loved it. So much so that he is taking the leftovers to work

for his lunch tomorrow.

 

 

Another fast and successful dinner!!

 

tomorrow night should be the rest of the pulled pork but Jake

is coming in to town and him and Johnny are doing their "usual" and

going out for Mexican. So it's a good thing I decided to freeze the rest of the

pork. We'll have that another night.

 

I've sure enjoyed making dinner this week and having so many things

already cooked. Made it so much easier. I'll be doing this again but will want to find some other recipes to try.

 

later.....
