A Late Start

All this week we have the TAKS test which stands for Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills. The only good thing about this test is that we sophmores got a really late start today (4 hours late!) and we only have two classes a day. Other than that, it's really boring and long.

So today I woke up at 8 a.m. and made myself a breakfast of whole wheat couscous and fresh organic carrot juice. It was pretty good but didn't quite fill me up. At 11:30 a.m. I fixed myself a very colorful and filling lunch (pictured above). It included whole grain capellini with a mixture of marinara, tofu, corn, peas, and garbanzo beans. On the side I had brussel sprouts seasoned with dijon mustard, soy sauce, EB, and garlic powder. The bagel chips on the side were also enjoyed with some Tofutti Cream Cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.

When I came back from school today at 5 p.m. I wasn't really hungry so I just waited a couple of hours before making myself the delicious looking pizza pictured above. For the crust I used a simple mixture of WW flour, water, baking powder, and salt (yes, it's yeast-free!). Since I had already used some marinara sauce in my pasta earlier today, I decided to spread the crust with barbecue sauce. Then I topped the pizza with chopped red onions, garbanzo beans and broccoli. After 20 minutes in the hot oven, it was ready for me to enjoy. The crust was nice and thick - just the way I like it. Even though I used a really small pizza pan, I only ate half the pizza because it was super filling. Next time I'll experiment with some other veggie combinations and possible add some soy cheese if I can get my mom to take me to Whole Foods.

What are some of your favorite pizza toppings?
