Spinach and Mushroom Wheat Pizza

Good evening!

I hope you all had a great start to the month! :) Did anyone have any tricks played on them? Besides the one I played on you all this morning that is. muhaha.

I finished my secret order this afternoon with some Glo Banana bars + Bites:

Bars:

I will be able to tell you this week who the lucky recipient of these bars is!

Dinner:

After I saw Kath’s recipe featured on The Mushroom Channel I knew I had to make this!

Of course, I had to put my own spin on things! I am not one to follow a recipe, so I improvised and made it vegan.

I must say, the idea of a green pizza appealed to me for obvious reasons!

Ingredients:

• Homemade Honey Wheat Pizza Dough (Easiest dough you will ever make)
• 4 oz of mixed mushrooms, cremini, sliced (Eric didn’t have any)
• 6 oz baby organic spinach 
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/3 cup Light Cream cheese (For Eric’s pizza, it was all we had for cheese!)
• 1/3 cup Soy Yogurt
• 2 Tbsp Almonds
• Cooking spray

I decided to make a his and hers version since Eric doesn’t like mushrooms.

Eric got a deep dish version, mine on a flat round pan:

Next came the spinach mixture:

• 6 oz spinach, sauteed
• 1/3 cup (or a bit less) Soy yogurt
• 2 Tbsp Almonds

Process the green sauce in a food processor until mixed. Almonds add some crunch!

Spread on dough:

Then add the ingredients on top:

On mine:

• tomato
• mushrooms
• St Ives Mexican Ground Round (so good!)

Eric’s:

• Cream cheese
• St Ives Mexican Ground Round
• Tomatoes

Cook in the oven at 350 for about 15-20 mins.

Eric’s Deep Dish:

Mine:

We both agreed that the pizza was better with some tomato sauce drizzled on top. I think because the pizza didn’t have the sharpness of the feta, it needed a little something extra. Next time for this vegan version, I would mix in some pizza sauce to add some kick and maybe a few chili pepper flakes. :)

See Kath’s original version for the feta and mozzarella recipe!

All and all this pizza was a delicious and healthy twist on the traditional pizza. In the green sauce was about 5 cups of baby spinach- we sure got in our greens tonight! :)

And yes, I love the white dollarstore plates so much I washed it from lunch and used it again. Eric got the regular ol’ Debbie Travis ones. lol.

I said to Eric, “I think I am going to buy a whole set of these white plates at the Dollarstore!! You know, I think they are better quality than many of our own plates.”

To which he replied, “Good, we can take back all of our china from the wedding.”

*sigh…… :)

Oh and just for the record, I had a 4th tiny slice after those three! I ate about 2/3’s of my pizza. Eric had 3/4 of his.

Eric said that was his favourite pizza dough crust out of any crust he has ever had in his life! I must say I think I agree! It was so fluffy!

Have a great night!

I’m off to do some paperwork. :) See you tomorrow for FAQ’s!!! There are Soooo many! eek.
