Whole Wheat Pizza
I used only whole wheat flour to make the crust for this. Doesn’t sound very appetizing, does it? It didn’t for me, either, but I braved it because I wanted to enjoy a homemade pizza without paying the caloric consequences. Again, I made personal-sized rounds as opposed to one large pie. This ensures the dough stays fresh longer and allows for portion control.
Much to my surprise, it tasted amazing. I was so sure that the whole wheat would compromise the flavor and that I’d have to compensate for a cardboard taste with lots of toppings. Instead, I ended up with the best pizza dough I have ever made. I guess that’s not saying a whole lot for someone who doesn’t have extensive experience with pizza. Still, it pleased me to see that my boyfriend, who usually doesn’t care for whole wheat alternatives, was extremely happy with the texture and taste of the crust.
Baked Teriyaki Chicken
You have no idea how badly I wanted a wine with this. It would have made it perfect.
Veggie-Stuffed Macaroni
I got this from the Volumetrics cookbook.
Meatloaf
This is my second meatloaf. This time, the ground beef we’d purchased was only 85% lean, as opposed to the 94% we had before. I was pretty worried about the higher fat percentage and went overboard with removing it – cooking it off, blotting and even rinsing. When the meatloaf came out of the oven, there wasn’t ANY fat dripping out of it and a lot of the beefy flavor was compromised. Thankfully, the beef gravy helped. I’m never buying gravy again. It’s so easy to make at home.

Your boyfriend is lucky to have you around. The pizza looks super delish.
oh jeez.
The mac and cheeze made me wheeze. [with food lust]
I KNOW IM SO FUNNY AND CLEVER RIGHT??
But really, I freakin love macaroni and cheese, and veggies!
Oh and the crunchy topping. I’m so greedy I would have taken half of the topping along with only one serving.
I actually love whole wheat, ever since I was a kid, I didn’t care for white bread. Whole wheat always had a deeper flavor and a “sweet” tinge to it. IT RULES.
Om nom nom nom.
Maan, that title totally had me tricked!
I’m against removing too much fat before cooking because meat tends to be drier. If I’m removing it, it’s usually on the plate when eating.
The pictures are very drool-worthy, that macaroni looks so yummy.
OMG yummmers!! You seriously know how to cook, everything looks so good!
Yum! It all looks so good! That’s a looot of food. The pizza especially looks great. Sounds delicious too! I love whole wheat!
Tasty! And you’re right, home made gravy IS the best!
