Rest Day
Today was my rest day. My legs are feeling the yesterday's workout in conjunction with the running drills on Tuesday. I finally have some nice DOMS going on for biceps and shoulders today. Lately it's just been triceps that have been sore. Maybe it was the addition of the 21's that did the biceps in.
I will say that even with tired legs, it was soooo tempting to attempt a run at lunch. It's so pretty out, although heading into upper 80's. But still, it's sunny, light breeze, ahhhh. My kind of weather. This weekend we're supposed to be cooling back down in the the low 70's. Not sure what that's all about. I think right at 85 is my ideal temp. I am definitely a summer-loving gal.
What temperature do you prefer?
Grilled Pizza
Tonight I had planned on doing grilled pizzas using Flatout bread. Oops, it was bad. Plan B was to make a quick dough (recipe follows) to grill. Oh, but wait...it's only Thursday. Tonight will have to be Pizza Thursday as Pizza Friday will not happen quite like it normally would. There will be pizza where I'll be. However, it will most likely only be a lukewarm cheese pizza. I love pizza, but I am a bit of a pizza snob and don't want to waste my precious cheat meal on less than perfect pie.
Quick Honey Wheat Pizza Dough
From allreipes.com ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2010 Allrecipes.coma (changes noted in italics)
Ingredients:
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp bread machine yeast)
1 cup warm water
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
2 tsp ground flax
Directions:
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, flax, and salt. wheat germ and salt. Make a well in the middle and add honey and yeast mixture. Stir well to combine. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for a few minutes.
Roll dough on floured surface and transfer to pre-heated pizza stone. Grill approximately 10-15 minutes until.
This is not my favorite dough, but certainly works in a pinch. It's great if you like a thinner, crispy crust too. My half was the typical Greek-style. Jason's half was sauteed onion, green bell pepper, soyrizo, and zucchini topped with the Mozzarella style Daiya Vegan Cheese.
I want pizza soooooo bad!
ReplyDeletedaiya. i am the only vegan to not try it..yet!
ReplyDeleterest day..good for you! and i think what u said about ppl feeling it easier to be rude in this digital age...yes. totally agreed.
have a great nite honey!
Krystina @ Organically Me Thanks so much for stopping by! Looking forward to checking out your blog.
ReplyDeleteAverie @ Loves Veggies and Yoga I only just tried it myself. It's really quite good.
Adding flax to the dough is a good idea! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI normally like thinner crust so I bet I'd like this recipe! For me, nothing beats Mellow Mushroom pizza though!
ReplyDeleteI love pizza too but haven't made it in months. I completely agree with you on not wasting calories on anything less than stellar pizza. I guess I am a pizza snob too. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI think the perfect temperature is between 78 and 82. Warm but not too hot to exercise outside and still be comfortable.
I hope you have a great Friday,
Alicia
Pizza Thursday...who ARE you?? haha!! Happy Friday girl!
ReplyDeleteAnna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg I try to make it as healthy as I possibly can!
ReplyDeleteMegan @ The Oatmeal Diaries I've never had Mellow Mushroom. They don't have one near me. Maybe that's for the best!
Alicia @ Vegan Epicurean I wonder if you could make a crust using your broccoli cracker recipe? You and I are on the same wavelength with the temp! Have a great one!
Kelly @ Healthy Living with Kelly I know right?! Happy Friday to you too!
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI do use the raw broccoli and onion crackers when I want pizza. You are reading my mind. LOL!
talk to you later,
Alicia
heather, the pizza looks so good :) hope you are having a great friday :)
ReplyDelete*grilled* pizza? sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what day it is...??
ReplyDeleteI love 75 degrees..perfect!
Alicia @ Vegan Epicurean You had probably mentioned that they'd be great for pizzas at some point. You're always great about looking at multiple uses for a recipe.
ReplyDeleteKalli @ Fit and Forty Something Hope you're having a great one too!
Katherine @ What About Summer Basically using the grill in lieu of the oven this time. With a different dough, I will actually grill the dough directly on the grates. Soooo good.
April @ The Weight I Am LOL - no mistaking that it's Friday for me ;-)
I love pizza. I should have a pizza day since I could eat it every week!
ReplyDeleteI normally buy the dough. I should try making it from scratch.
Have a great weekend!
Kristen @ Swanky Dietitian I think I could eat pizza every day! Making your own dough is really so easy.
ReplyDeleteI love making home made pizza! It is so much better than store bought! You can load it up with good stuff too! Yours looks delicious! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSarena @ The Non-Dairy Queen I totally agree with you on loading it up with the healthy stuff. Makes you feel better about eating pizza!
