I just started making my own pizza dough not too long ago, and although it creates a floury mess in my kitchen, it’s easy, fun, and really tasty. I have tried the Trader Joe’s dough and it’s fairly good, but nothing compares to making it from scratch.

I started with a basic recipe in the Joy of Cooking cookbook and loved it. But it was made with all white flour, so I set off to see if I could modify it so it would be healthier but without compromising the flavor or consistency (I have a very picky pizza lover at home). After a couple of tries, I am happy to pass on this version. My friends T & J enjoyed this version so a shout out to them for being my test kitchen once again.

My mom is on a vegetable kick and just made this delicious stir-fry.  She can vouch that even busy working professionals can whip up simple healthy meals.

Ingredients:

• Grapeseed oil or canola oil (olive oil smoke if it gets too hot, which is no bueno)
• A couple handfuls of chopped broccoli flowers
• A couple handfuls of chopped purple cabbage
• 1-2 bell red/yellow bell peppers, chopped in 1/2 squares or 1/4 ” strips
• A couple handfuls of spinach (or more, if you want)
• Optional: 1 cup of cooked, chopped chicken breast or other cooked meat of choice.
