E: Easy Cornmeal Pizza & Pregnancy Update

I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! I have gotten some sleep and am feeling WAY better! Friday night, we just hung in, had dinner, and caught up on our DVR. Saturday included Body Step, cleaning, and work in the garden & yard (cleaning up the weeds/starting the garden prep & power washing the pollen off the porch). Saturday night was date night. It was wonderful to just catch up with Josh and enjoy some yummy Mexican food.

As I mentioned above, we ate at home on Friday night and had another Friday night dinner success! I have tried to make cornmeal pizza before and it turned out kind of…eh. I adjusted some of the past recipes I’ve used and added a few of my own touches. Here is what I came up with:

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup All Purpose flour
  • ½ cup Whole Wheat flour
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ cup canola oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Whisk together dry ingredients.

Add in wet ingredients and mix well, mixture will be sticky.

Spray a baking dish or pan heavily with non-stick spray. Press mixture into the bottom of the pan using the back of a spatula/spoonula to spread it thin. Bake for ~12 minutes and remove from oven. Top with pizza sauce and desired topping. Return to oven until cheese is melted or toppings are cooked through (~8-10 minutes).

Josh’s portion was topped with pepperoni, jalapenos, artichokes and mozzarella cheese:

Mine was loaded with veggies (parsnips, yellow squash and bell peppers):

This was super delicious! And made enough for leftovers!

Pregnancy Update: Week 22-

We’re hoping to order our crib & changing table today.  I’m still feeling good, proceeding with life as usual :). My Mom bought me the cutest baby bag from Vera Bradley:

Its perfect! And looks very much like a normal big purse. Love! Thank you Mama!

What are you up to today? Other than a little more housework, I am teaching Body Pump and hoping to just relax!
