Welcome to my little hobby!! I love to eat and I am passionate about making sure that the foods I eat and the foods I feed my cute little family are healthy. I have so many wonderful recipes that I have found through the computer or some of my favorite cook books, so I thought it would be fun to share them with my wonderful friends and family. I am going to be posting a new recipe every day, some will be gluten free, sugar free, or just healthy:) I believe that it can be fun to eat healthy and can taste great as well. Now every weekend I will be throwing in some of my favorite treats and goodies recipes because I believe that everyone should be able to have a cheat day, and lets face it, life without some of our favorite treats is just not that fun. So enjoy these recipes, and hopefully they will make eating healthy fun again, and PLEASE enjoy your weekend goodies too:) Also please leave me comments on what you thought about the recipe after making it, and if there are other things you would like me to post about. I can also try to redo any recipes that may be your favorites and make them a healthier version. Enjoy

Egg, Ham, and Spinach Pizza

The title may scare you a bit but I promise its delish:) I love Ellie Krieger, and all of her recipes. They are all healthy and every single one tastes amazing. This is one of her fun recipes that we love.:)


1) One store bought baked thin-crust pizza shell, preferably whole wheat, such as boboli. ( I usually make my own pizza crust, but for those busy mamas out there the store bought one will be just fine. I will post my pizza crust recipe that I use at the bottom of the page.) 2) 4 cups(about 4 ounces) baby spinach leaves, thinly sliced 3) 2 tsp. olive oil 4) 3 ounces prosciutto di Parma, thinly sliced 5) 1/2 cup grated parmesan 6) 3 cloves thinly sliced garlic 7) 4 eggs


DIRECTIONS -Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the pizza shell on a cookie sheet. Scatter spinach all over crust. Drizzle with oil. Evenly distribute prosciutto, Parmesan, and garlic on top of spinach. Crack eggs onto pizza, roughly positioning 1 yolk on each pizza quarter. Bake for 12-15 min., until spinach is wilted and egg whites are just fully cooked. Cut into 4 large slices. This is def. a daring little darling to try but we love it, I hope you guys will too. Whole Wheat Pizza Crust In a small bowl, combine about 1 Tbsp. of dry yeast and 1/8 tsp. of sugar with 1 1/2 cups of warm water. Let that sit for 10 min. In a separate large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. ( After you've tried this on your family several times, you can gradually increase in 1/2 cup lots the ratio of whole wheat to all purpose flour to 2 1/2 cups whole wheat, to 1/2 cup all purpose flour) Add 1 tsp. ground kosher salt to this. Mix well. then add the yeast mixture and mix by hand thoroughly. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil. Knead for about 2 min. until dough is smooth. Cover bowl and let rise in warm area until dough has doubled in size. Punch dough down with your fist and knead for 1-2 min. divide into 4 equal portions(extra portions can be stored in your refrigerator) Roll into balls and preheat oven to 450. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil. roll one of dough balls onto baking sheet and flatten to 10-12 inch pizza crust. Poke with a fork 4 to 6 times. Bake for 5 min. remove from oven and then add your ingredients of whatever you choose.:)
