Pesto Mozzarella Pizza on Wheat Crust

Dinner

1 May
First, the answer is yes. The above picture was taken on my kitchen floor by an open door because when the pizza was finished, the lighting was WAY too dark in my kitchen to take a good picture. Don’t worry, the pizza stone is still underneath it. And there were only like 5 hairs in the pizza when I ate it so it didn’t kill me or anything 😉
Anyway…hey, guys! I have been in New Orleans this week for work and it has been quite the experience! The French Quarter is awesome. I am always amazed and appreciate cool archictecure. The food is the bomb as well. Yes I just said that.
Last week I was randomly craving pizza and I knew it had to be the kind with yummy mozarella cheese so I then knew it had to be the kind that was homemade. I wanted a healthier wheat crust so I looked up a tasty recipe and made this pizza which is like an explosion of Italy in your mouth. And who doesn’t want that? 
I will be making some homemade pesto later in the summer once I get my basil plant producing for me. No, I have not planted it yet…but I will! I was planning to make homemade basil for this pizza then saw the price for basil leaves at several grocery stores I went to. It literally would have cost me like $50 to make my own basil. I’m starting a garden this year (YAY!) so I’ll plant basil and have a recipe for you in a few months. I know you’ll be sitting a the edge of your seat until then.
This pizza was so good that I was talking to myself out loud in my house saying “mmm!” when I tried it. 






Pesto Mozzarella Pizza on Wheat Crust



Wheat crust covered in mozzarella, pesto and fresh tomatoes

Servings: 2 pizzas



Printable recipe



Ingredients
Crust:
1 tsp white sugar
1 and 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 Tbsp active drive yeast 
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 
Topping:
Fresh mozzarella cheese to taste, I used about 12 ounces on two pizzas
Pesto – this Buitoni pesto found in the refrigerator section by the pepperoni was really good
Roma tomatoes

Directions
1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy. 
2. Stir the
olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat
flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come
together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining
all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed,
and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. You can also do this in a mixer. Place dough in
an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel,
and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
 
3.
When the
dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and
divide into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a tight ball, then put into
separate oiled bowls, turn to cover surfaces and cover loosely with a
towel. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until
doubled.
 
4. Preheat the
oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a
rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over
both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating
the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well
oiled pizza pan. You can also use a pizza stone
which is what I did and I think this makes a big difference in evenly
cooking the crust. Keep in mind that you need to heat up the pizza stone
with the oven, take it out, place the pizza crust on it then add the
toppings. Spread pesto then top with mozzarella.
 
5.
Bake for 16
to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the
crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.
Take out of the oven then top with freshly cut tomatoes. Cut with a
pizza cutter. Enjoy! 
Note: Pizza crust recipe from allrecipes.com


And if you can’t wait a second longer for the pesto-mozzarella-tomatoey deliciousness, simply buy a whole wheat pita, throw all of the ingredients on top then microwave for about 45 seconds. This is an easy lunch!

#ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sl #ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sleep, but you continue to wake up feeling unrested and aren’t sure why.

Your spouse notices you are snoring and they can’t get their own good night’s sleep by sleeping in the same room.

Neither option is any fun for anyone involved!

Snoring can be a symptom. Sleep apnea is where your throat closes off while you are sleeping, which does not allow for proper oxygen flow to your brain, thus leaving you tired the next day….and leaving your spouse sleepless as well.

And we all know that a CPAP machine is not the most user-friendly experience out there…

Enter @Soundsleepmedical. They have created an appliance that gives you sound sleep. The device holds your jaw slightly forward when you sleep so your airway is not blocked at all, and you wake up feeling refreshed and your spouse can sleep back in the same room as you.

Quality of life and a happy spouse is a win-win.

Be sure to use the link in my bio to schedule your free sleep screening. You can use code JENICA to receive a free sleep screening, which includes an in-office consultation and at-home sleep test, along with $50 off your oral appliance.

Sweet dreams my friends.
I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I was deciding if I could handle doing another frozen embryo transfer…and now LOOK at him 🥹 It was one of the hardest years of my entire life. Going through things I don’t wish on anyone. But look at us now 😭 And looking internally…the things I’ve learned.

Tell me about something a year ago for you that you didn’t know you’d get through and can’t believe you are where you’re at 🤍👇🏻 #infertilityjourney #ivfsuccess #frozenembryotransfer
This is it. Not just in motherhood, although moth This is it.

Not just in motherhood, although motherhood really amplifies it, but in life.

It’s the fast days that are loud and sunny.

It’s the slow days that are quiet and snowy.

The mismatched pajamas and the dressed to the nines.

It’s the mess.

It’s the organization and order.

It’s the to-do list that gets crossed off and the to-do list that doesn’t.

It’s in the allowing of both.

It’s in perhaps preferring one over the other, but not judging either.

It’s in the wisdom that both will pass and each have lessons to teach.

Neither is wrong.

Both are allowed.

This is it.

It might feel impossible in the middle of it and y It might feel impossible in the middle of it and you might question everything.

“I have no idea what the future will bring.”

“Will everything I’m putting myself through be worth it?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I making the right choice?”

But your moments will come. Trust that and let it bring you peace.

The alternative is feeling anxious, which is also completely acceptable and normal, but remember that you also have the option of trusting and feeling peace, too. There is room for both.

You’re not alone in this 🤍

It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the deep, black ocean of IVF again. I knew what I was doing this time and I was filled with fear because…I knew.

When I found out I was pregnant, the fear was my secret. Only a close few knew.

And this space was filled with tears, uncertainty…soul reaching prayers.

Sleepless nights, gut wrenching heartache.

Secrets that I hold close to my heart.

And then he came.

And the healing began.

And the mama, this mama, knew she did it.

That black ocean had swallowed her whole and she’d do it again for the light that is him.

Once she swam to the surface, and jaggedly gasped in the fresh air and felt the sunshine on her face, she knew she would do it all over again.

For this sacred chaos.

Tonight as I was moving the bassinet out of my room, I stopped. The room will soon be cleared. The shelves emptied and the order restored. And I can’t believe that the ocean was conquered. The chaos was where I found the strength and the beauty.

The sacred, precious chaos.
