I can’t believe we are in the last week of 101 days of summer challenge! While I am not complete happy with how I handled the challenge, I have no one to blame but myself. I only have 20 pounds to go to get to my goal of 140 – and I am determined to get there by Christmas. I may start a challenge from Labor Day to New Years – anyone else interested?
I have Jacky to thank for the idea of my lunch yesterday. You guys knew I couldn’t go a whole week without pizza right?! Holy cow, this one hits all the marks – the crust was crispy, the sweetness of the fig against the tang of the goat cheese and the mortadella – I think the balsamic and olive oil greens on top brought this pizza all together.
I made a super easy pizza dough – 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup warm water, 1 tsp. yeast and 1 tsp. salt – I used half of the dough for the pizza below. This whole dough would be 12 points.
Fig, Goat Cheese and Mortadella Pizza
- 1/2 of simple pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons fig (I used the leftover balsamic figs Tony made, but you can buy canned figs)
- 1 ounce goat cheese
- 1 ounce mortadella, sliced
- 1/2 cup mixed greens
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon good olive oil
Heat oven to 425. Roll out dough and pre-bake the dough for 4-5 minutes, or until you can shake it off the pan. Spread figs on the bottom. Dot with the goat cheese and sprinkle the mortadella over the pizza. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the crust starts to brown.
Chop the greens and toss with the olive oil and balsamic. Toss over the hot pizza and try not to burn your mouth .
The best part is that this whole pizza was only 13 points! And since I only had a banana and a 1 point cheese stick for breakfast, I ate the whole thing. 😀
My pizza fix is satisfied, but I can’t wait to make this one again. Thanks for the idea Jacky!
I did most of the prep work yesterday for my SIL’s birthday Mexican fiesta today. All I have left to make is the cilantro rice and cook the marinated meats. But I still have lunches to make:
- torellini and spinach soup
- thai pork with broccoli and rice
- smoky pinto beans and spinach tacos
- zucchini lasagna
- black bean soup and spinach quesadillas
Have a great Sunday!
//For e.g if the Brahmins get 5 percent, so to say, quota, the quota will be taken by the mghtiy among them. The economically weakest like priests cant compete with their rich counterparts.It should be left to the caste leaders of brahmins to build safeguards for the weak – the priests, the women, the phycially handicapped etc. within the caste, within the 5 per cent quota.Ditto for dalits etc.//ஜ .அ.மலன ர யன பன ன ன ட ,Honest answer needed.Rather than eradicating caste differences, your idea is to perpetuate the caste identity and caste identity based differences. Yes or no ?A SC will always be a SC for the next 2000 years. An OBC will be OBC for another 2000 years and feed shit to SC people.Excellent Social Justice. Keep it up followers of EVR and his butt lickers.//When the whole population gets covered under quota, there wont be any question of merits.//Yes, because there will be none.இந த ய வ ன த ச யப பறவ ய மய ல க க ப பத ல க க க ய க ஆக க வ டல ம . மன தர க க மட ட ம ஏன வக ப ப வ ர ப ப ரத ந த த த வம ? ம ர கங கள க க ம வழங க வ ம .ம ழ ய ல ம , ப ர ம ப ன ம இந த ப ச வத ல த ச ய ம ழ இந த மட ட ம என ற அற வ த த வ டல ம . தம ழ , ஆங க லம ப ச ன ல டவ சர க கழட ட ப ஞ ச ம ல ஏற ந க கச ச ல ல வ ம , ப ர ல ம ண ட ல !சம க ந த வ ழ க! வக ப ப வ ர ப ப ரத ந த த த வம வ ழ க! வ ழ கவ !
I would love another challenge. Labor Day to New’s Years sound good.
I was happy with the way this challenge was going – I was keeping up with my nightly yoga etc until August 5th, when my Dad passed away unexpectedly. He had been ill since April but it was still a shock. Things are starting to calm down and get back to normal (or at least, a new normal) so I could really use the routine of a new challenge.
Damn, I wish I could think of somihteng smart like that!
Hmmm…I wonder if I could do something like that with my fresh figs I just picked. Looks delicious.
Me! Me! I’m interested in a challenge! The one I did this summer, slimmer this summer, ended yesterday and I NEED another one! So, ME! LOL Count me IN!
I’m also interested in that pizza! That looks amazing!
That looks yummy…and reasonably healthy too! I’m going to have to give this a try!
