Well, we’re home! Finally. The AC people came Saturday morning and worked for 6 HOURS (it was supposed to take three) and the house is now livable again. Hooray!
Tonight I decided to put that bottle of peanut sauce I bought at Whole Foods to good use with a Thai Chicken Pizza. Oh my gosh- it was so good!! I found a new whole wheat pizza crust recipe on the Eating Well site (here). This recipe is super simple and is definitely going to be my new go-to. The last time I made pizza crust I had to let the dough proof for at least an hour before baking. With this one, you make the entire thing in a food processor and it only has to sit for about 20 minutes before rolling out. I used the 12-oz yield recipe and it made one 13 inch thin crust (very crispy).
I topped it with:
- Peanut Sauce (a thick coat)
- Green Onions, Sliced
- Carrots, Slivered
- Cilantro (LOTS, Chopped)
- Chicken Breast- we just cut up the breast of a rotisserie chicken to save time
- Mozzarella Cheese- about half a bag of the Kraft 2% kind
Pre-cheese and pre-baked:
Baked on the bottom rack for about 14 minutes at 450 degrees:
And on my plate with a side of this edamame/Asian veggie blend we found at Sprouts. I heated it in a skillet with a little soy sauce and Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger salad dressing. It went really well with the pizza (and my Honey Moon Beer!). Confession: I actually had three slices, not two.
We threw out a lot of produce since we’d been out of the house for over a week, but I wanted to figure out something to do with a couple of overripe bananas. There was a recipe in Dreena Burton’sVive le Vegan for “Banana Oat Bundles” that called for pureed bananas, quick oats, ground quick oats and a couple of other ingredients. I threw in about 1/4 cup of chocolate chips- because you can’t beat chocolate and banana, right?? They’re kind of a cross between a cookie and a scone.
Well crap, I just realized that I forgot to take a picture of them and I’m not at home right now. Click here to see what the final product looked like, but visualize some chocolate chips in there, too. OOOH! Dreena even posted the recipe! Oh happy day.
They’re kind of small… but tasty 
Oh, and despite my whining and skepticism, Dark Knight was actually really good- although 2 1/2 hours in theater seats is a looooong time. I needed a stretch break!
Wow – that pizza looks so, so good. I am definitely going to make that some time soon – I have been craving Thai food, and that seems like a good way to do something different.
Glad you liked Dark Knight! And yes, I agree with you about that 2.5 hours thing… Imagine sitting next to two people you don’t even know and fighting for an armrest
Great idea for the sauce! (And rotisserie chicken too).
This looks great! I normally buy the pre-packaged dough at Trader Joe’s, but this looks so easy. Will definitely be one of the next on my to-do recipe list.
Love that title!
Can you please make that for me, please, it looks amazing! How about for my birthday, along with my cupcakes???
