Pizzadilla, Please!

Pizza is almost always our treat meal, it’s kind of a Friday night thing. This weekend was a little crazy, and I kind of ended up wasting my treat meal. I had an unplanned lunch out, so I gave up my typical greasy, cheese covered goodness.

I was pouting that I didn’t get my usual taste of yum, so I got in the kitchen and experimented to make a cleaner version of pizza that I could have guilt free & here’s what I came up with.

*THE PIZZADILLA!* (cue monkey swinging from skyscraper… no?)

5 minutes, 4 ingredients, 320 calories.

Heat a frying pan stove top. Take an Ezekiel wrap and lay flat. Spread sauce on half of the wrap. Layer 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (I used vegan cheese) on top of the sauce. Lay turkey pepperoni over cheese and fold the wrap shut.

Put the folded wrap in the frying pan and cook until browned. Flip over and cook an additional 3 minutes. Cheese & sauce will probably seep out, that’s okay – the messier it is, the better it tastes!

Slice into thirds. Done & Done.

I get lots of questions about my go-to brands, so here is what I used for this little experiment.

Happy Sunday Funday!

Clean {chocolate, peanut butter} French Toast

Breakfast on breakfast on breakfast. It’s getting to the point where I should just rename all of my meals – breakfast 1, breakfast 2….

My typical pancake recipe felt used up today (maybe since I’ve had it 5 times this week), so I felt like getting a little crafty in the kitchen. Can you picture me, powdered sugar on my face, tossing a whisk around, and wearing a chef hat? None of that happened.. there was no powdered sugar, my hair is in the same unwashed top knot that I rock for most of my life, BUT… I did use a whisk. So.. here’s what I came up with.

In a bowl or flat tupperware container (easier, since bread is flat.. flat on flat. Or flat in flat. Anywayyyy) combine 2 egg whites, 1 tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of PB2 or other powdered peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk around until all powder is mixed. Dip 2 slices of Ezekiel bread (I used plain.. cinnamon raisin would probably be bomb in this too!) and make sure the toast is totally coated.

In a frying pan over medium heat, spray coconut oil and drop in toast to cook. Flip over after 2 minutes or so. Once cooked, you can do 1 of 2 things. 1 – Enjoy your toast. 2 – Put toast in the oven under the broil setting on 525 for 3-4 minutes. I always love the taste of french toast, but nothing is worse than soggy bread, like if the egg isn’t totally cooked. I like mine a little crispy, hence the broiler.

You can also cook berries stove top and use for a homemade jelly/syrup. A drizzle of honey would be another topping that might rock your socks.

For the toast recipe and 1 cup of berries – the total calorie count is around 250. I say around because….well, math.
