Oh what a shocker – I made chia pudding for breakfast! This time in a bowl, not a parfait. It was hilarious because I was trying to do this really pretty swirl of my very berry sauce into the pudding, and well, let’s just say that didn’t work out that well – this tasted delicious!
Five points – 3 for 1/2 cup of chia pudding and two for the Safe + Fair blueberry and cinnamon granola. So good. I am not kidding when I say I could eat this every single day and not get sick of it.
I did get a few people telling me that their chia pudding clumped up. I need to update my chia pudding recipe, but since I don’t eat it for a couple days, I usually stir it every morning and night to keep the seeds separate.
My sister had a work deadline and couldn’t do lunch. While it was near 60 degrees it was also rainy. I was going to go to Roti for lunch, and when I asked my one boss if he wanted me to get some, he said “how about Naansense?” It’s a fast casual Indian restaurant – you can build your own salad, get tacos, rice bowls.
I chose the tandoori chicken salad. What I thought was seasoned chick peas turned out to be naan croutons, I picked most of those out. I ate half and was satisfied – so good!! It came with a green goddess dressing that was delicious.
I had to work late last night. It makes for a long day. Remember how I said that I was going to tell my office that I don’t want to do night secretary anymore? Well, that hasn’t happened yet, but I need to. I don’t get home until 9 on those nights – makes for a long day!
Not only was yesterday my nieces birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!) it was also Pi day and I loved how many people tagged me making pizza for the their #piday
That got me thinking – what if I turned my leftover salad into an Indian pizza? I used Alouette cucumber and dill spread mixed with vindaloo sauce for the base of the pizza.
Then I topped the dough (5) with my pizza filling (calling that 1 point for the bit of dressing) then 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (4) and baked it on my baking steel for 10 minutes at 500 degrees.
Um, this was delicious! I didn’t even mind the cooked cucumber on the pizza! The crust was crunchy (even though I just made the dough when I got home), the vindaloo sauce was spicy, but a great balance with the cucumber and dill Alouette cheese. So good! Can’t wait to recreate this with heavily spiced tandoori chicken. And making a raita sauce for dipping – yum!
It’s not too late to join my Diet Bet that starts on Monday! Just bet $35 – the pot is nearly $5k!! You can check out the link here.
Happy Friday friends – make it a great day, and don’t eat like an asshole. Love, Biz
I can’t get over the number of people on your diet bet. I can’t get past the part where I have to submit a photo of me. I know it is silly but… I was a bit surprised to see you put everything from your bowl on the pizza. It looks good and Indian food is my favorite so I may need to figure out a good pizza topping combo that is Indian flavors. Tummy is growling just thinking about it.
I am shocked how many people too! I thought I’d be lucky to get 50 people – let alone nearly 400!!
No one sees the picture but the moderators of the game – it prevents cheating. Although several people told me there are ways to cheat on the Diet Bet, I am not going to google it. I am tired of self-sabotaging myself.
Hope you had a great weekend – hugs!
Speaking of cooked cucumbers, my husband was making a chicken stir fry the other day. I told him to put in some zucchini. He put a cucumber in instead.
Ha! Close enough 😀
Question: Do you just leave your baking steel in the oven? And if so, do you just put other baking pans on top of it if you need that shelf? I got one for Christmas and holy smokes is that thing heavy!
Good morning Helen! Yep, I normally keep it in there all the time – even if I put a muffin tin or other cookie sheet on top of it. It is heavy, which is why I build my pizza on the parchment paper to carry it easily into the oven and out of the oven.
I love it – I’ve probably had mine for 4 years already? Makes the best crust on scones, cinnamon rolls, etc.
Oh, good to know! I still haven’t made pizza on mine because I really just want to buy a pizza peel since I usually make 14″ pizzas for us. Of course, when I’m out shopping I continue to forget about the pizza peel lol. One of these days!
Happy Fridaaayyy!!111
