Pizzzaazzzy Pizza

I just tripped out on that word, Pizza. Weird. I literally stared at it and thought I spelt it wrong, then started sounding it out and saying it. It should be "Peet-sa" right? The English language is a trip. Crazy. Or as my gansta side would say "That shit cray" haha! Scott rolls his eyes at me when I try and be a thug. I just think its funny to joke around like that. It's not like I am serious. Sheesh!  

Look at these beauties


HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see my crossfit family later. I missed it this weekend. We took Saturday and Sunday off. We stopped by the gym Saturday on our way out of town to drop off some cinny buns and take some photos of everyone getting their wod on. Perfect day for it, everyone was looking top notch! :)) We are such gym junkies. I love it.

We had such a great time this weekend. Even with all the little mishaps (for example, hungry Scott = grumpy Scott, Portland traffic, bridge draw, crappy navigation, and bathroom breaks. It makes it interesting, and its ridiculously stupid how easy and fun it is to travel for us. It's awesome. I fall more and more in love with this man every day. So let me tell you about the weekend...

We went to a wedding in Ridgefield, Washington. Scott's high school life friend Allen got married to a beautiful lady named Melissa. The venue was gorgeous, like a secret garden. There were all these cute garden benches that I wanted to take home. Jealous. Any who, I can say that I met some awesome people this weekend. Funny thing about it is that the 2 couples we hung out with the most are from GP. So we live in the same town and didn't even know we could have such a ball together! Good thing is, now we do :)) So in a nutshell... We danced, ate (paleo), drank red wine (don't hate, we NEVER drink so its ok), laughed a lot and just had a blasty blast. Sunday we woke up in a slight fog, I drove us to a Whole Foods in Vancouver and found my way their just me and the navi (proud moment) and got we got us some food in our belly's and more of course. We found 1.5L aluminum water bottles. HOLLLLAAA! With 2 options for drinking spouts. It's awesome. We are super excited about them, Can you tell?!

now it just needs stickers!

We didn't have anywhere to be or anything to do so we just did whatever we wanted. We went to the Bridgeport Village and shopped. I went to Urban Outfitters. Possibly my favorite store. I could have my whole wardrobe from there and be okay with it. Found a Saks outlet store and got some cool bottles, found an awesome retro gym bag at American Apparel. It's hot pink. No big deal. Got some really cute measuring spoons from Anthro. I love that place. I wish I could live there. Haha! We went to different sporting goods stores, and got some Chipolte, yummmm. Stopped at the Roseburg Ross cause someone told Scott it was awesome. It wasn't THAT awesome but we still found some stuff. Dropped by the parents, picked up a dozen fresh eggs and came home. I was so hungry when we got home. It was like 9 and we had nothing to eat. So my ever so kind boyfriend cooked us up some eggs and bacon. It was so yummy. Then bedtime. I slept like a rock.

So like I had mentioned in a previous post, this pizza is Amy and Sean McGillivary's recipe. We went to their home for dinner Friday after CF. We had so much fun. Sat outside on the patio, ate this heavenly pizza, and talked crossfit and food for hours. Their patio is so nice. It would be perfect for a paleo potluck (hint, hint...haha!). Sean and Amy are why we started crossfit.
Sean had been working on Scott for a while and finally we gave in and tried it. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without it.

So here it is people, you gotta try this.

Pizza

Preheat oven to 350F

Crust

2 cups almond meal
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp coconut flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 cup of coconut oil
2 eggs

Combine all ingredients and knead into a dough. Place on pizza pan or stone, and work into a nice even crust. Bake crust for 15 minutes at 350F.



While your crust is baking, prepare your toppings and sauce.

Toppings

diced bell pepper
diced jalapeno
uncured pepperoni
uncured bacon cooked and chopped
tomatoes
sliced olives
mushrooms
fresh basil, chopped
whole milk cheese (optional, for binding toppings)

Clearly you could add or subtract toppings per your taste buds :))




Sauce

1 6 oz can tomato paste
3 tbsp Italian seasoning
3 oz of warm water

Combine sauce ingredients until a smooth consistency is made. Take your crust out of the oven (after 15 minutes of course) and spread sauce on the crust. Toss your toppings on there however you'd like.

Place back in over for 8-10 minutes to melt cheese and warm toppings.

| Prep time 15 min | Bake time 25 min | Servings 4-6 |

CONSUME! We each ate 2 pieces. We pigged out! Amy also spoiled us with a delicious dessert. Nom nom nom!!!! She's awesome. Thanks Amy & Sean for sharing your recipe!
