crazy week!

Hi All --


Sorry I haven't posted in forever!  Busy week.  My dog came down with a really odd illness, ended up having surgery, and is still in the doggy hospital, but finally on the mend.  Anyways! Now you've got the update.  Let me post a few things that should've been posted (www wednesday, recipe, and training schedule) before today...


WWW Wednesday:


The Fitnessista -- This is an awesome website developed by a personal trainer and food guru.  Check it out!


Weekly Recipe:


This is so good, you MUST try this pizza! 


Ingredients:
  • Any whole wheat pizza crust
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 tomato sauce (I used the kind from Whole Foods, but any brand is good)
  • 1 can of artichokes
  • 1 small bag of cherry tomatos (on the vine)
  • 1 small carton of mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar


Instructions:
  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Slice mushrooms.
  3. Chop artichokes. Towel dry the artichokes with a paper towel.
  4. Soak mushrooms and artichokes in balsamic vinegar.  Stir the mixture so they are coated.
  5. Slice tomatoes. Remove seeds and towel dry with a paper towel.
  6. Brush olive oil on the pizza crust.
  7. Spread tomato sauce on the pizza crust. There will not be much sauce on the pizza, but I don't like a lot of sauce... Add more if you wish!
  8. Add toppings.
  9. If you do eat cheese/dairy, feel free to add cheese to the pizza now.  I think fancy shredded parmesan or goat cheese would be tasty!
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tomatoes look nice and charred! (Yes, I love them almost burned!)
