Hummus Pizza

This pizza was an experiment and it is the best vegan pizza I have made yet. All of my kids even asked for seconds. It was also really easy to throw together.

Basically you make your favorite crust (I will include my crust recipe below)
I put about 3 large spoonfuls of hummus (I bought mine at Costco, but you can easily make your own) on the crust and spread it around.
Then I grated a few carrots on top on the hummus and topped it with tomatoes.
Then I baked it for about 5 minutes, and topped it with baby spinach.

You could easily use different combinations of vegetables. I would suggest using tomatoes because it needs the moisture.

I have been making this pizza crust for a long time. It is so easy and fast and it turns out for me every time.

Pizza Crust
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar of your choice
(I use organic cane sugar, honey works too)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
optional: italian seasoning

Mix together and let rise, covered, for 20 minutes. If it looks too dry, add 1 or 2 Tbs. water.
After rising, sprinkle dough with a little flour and spread out onto a greased cookie sheet. I don't even roll it out. I just set the dough in the middle and spread it out with my fingers. (you could call this recipe "lazy pizza crust" :)
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Add toppings and bake for an additional 5 minutes or so until done to your liking.

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers

I've tried a few stuffed pepper recipes, but I hadn't found one I liked enough to post on here until now. This one was awesome! My husband has declared it his new favorite dinner. Unfortunately, he likes it really spicy and it's much too spicy for my toddlers to eat which means I have to whip up something else for them. This recipe makes enough to fill 4 peppers but since it's just my husband and I eating them I usually stuff only 3 peppers and put the remaining mixture in the casserole dish with the peppers. Recipe inspired by a spoonful of sisters and modified slightly to our liking. -4 bell peppers most prefer red, orange, or yellow but we like them all! -olive oil -1/2 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa -1 onion, diced -3 garlic cloves, minced -3oz can of green chilies -1 can organic black beans, drained and rinsed -1 cup frozen corn kernels -2 green onions, chopped -1/2-1 teaspoons chipotle chili powder depending on how much spice you like -1 teasp...

Kale Chips

Oh my goodness, these are so good! The first time I tried making kale chips was in my oven and I just used salt, pepper, and olive oil for seasoning. They were really not good at all. I sort of gave up on the idea until I went to visit my friend Emily, who has been eating a whole foods diet for a long time, she is an expert! Her sister actually does the simple healthy tasty blog and Emily posts on there sometimes too! Anyways during our visit, she offered me some kale chips and wow, I went home and ordered a food dehydrator as soon as I could so I could make them! I got this one made by Nesco and love it so far! Recipe from simple healthy tasty . -1 or 2 bunches of kale ripped into chip size pieces (I used curly leaf kale) -1/3 cup raw cashews -2 tablespoons lemon juice -3 tablespoons water -1/4 cup olive oil -1/2 teaspoon sea salt -1/4 cup nutritional yeast -1 small chunk of onion -1/2 teaspoon chili powder -1/4 teaspoon cayenne -1/4 teaspoon turmeric -1 clove garli...
