WIAW #7: Homemade Pizza Crust Fail

I blame the kid. Surely my homemade pizza crust would’ve turned out perfectly without little grabby hands reaching up and pulling the parchment paper as I tried to knead the dough. Or maybe I’m just trying to point the blame on something else other than my lack of pizza crust making skills.

Regardless, my wife graciously ate my thick, non-fluffy wannabe pizza crust creation for dinner and even said she liked it. With a little help from goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, and green onions, that is.

She’s a keeper, that’s for sure. Of course, I knew that a long time ago; hence the whole marriage thing. 🙂

Despite my crust making fail, I did make the frittata recipe I never made a reality. I couldn’t stop thinking about it after writing it down and sharing it last week, so a few days later, I made it!

All I know, is this will be a multi-repeat creation in our house.

Now, how about a little WIAW action! Thanks as always to the wonderful Jenn from Peas and Crayons, for creating this fun link-up for foodies everywhere!

To join in the fun, head over to The Big Man’s World for this week’s party!

what I ate wednesday, WIAW

I started the day with an entire French Press of black coffee and a packet of Pyure Sweet Organic Stevia. Great, simple combo that never lets me down!

Meanwhile, Avery turned a NuttZo banana happy face into no face rather quickly.

After finishing my workout for the day, I downed an un-pictured leftover green protein smoothie I made the night before. It never tastes as good as fresh, but I’m not trying to savor anything post workout anyway.

Lunch was steamed zucchini and mixed veggies with chicken sausage and spaghetti squash with a pat of butter. Veggies + butter = delicious happiness!

On the side was my non-pizza pizza crust smeared with black garlic, avocado, and a sprinkle of sea salt.

I made a large batch of slow-cooker shredded chicken and 2-bean stew for dinner and it did not disappoint!

When you cook every meal for everyone in the house (okay, that’s just my wife and daughter), slow-cookers are a life saver! This gives us meals for a few days. I think it even tastes better after everything has sat overnight to let the flavors marry.

The day ended with a few NuttZo topped NuttZo Banana Frittata wedges.

I enjoy eating them cold, but I’m sure warmed up would still be outstanding. It’s hot enough in Texas now, so cold food just sounds better.

Have you ever made your own pizza crust? Was is a fail or a win?

Do you make everything for your family? Tell me you love the slow-cooker too!

Just want to mention I love NuttZo and you MUST try it at least once forever! Plus, if you go to their website and enter code liley15, you can save 15% off your order. 😉

    1. Love that mug! My mom brought it back for me when she went to Seattle. That’s okay about the pizza, at least it was edible! Thanks for commenting!

    1. LOL! Oh geez, I can’t even remember what all I used. About 3 types of flour including coconut, kamut, and oat, and active yeast along with several spices. Ahhh, who am I kidding, I’d only make it a double failure trying to repeat that recipe!

    1. Yeah, I guess you live you learn, right? Or practice makes perfect…..one of those, or both. Whatever, I’ll keep trying! Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Dude! Your a Texan they are going to through you out of there if you start talking about pizza. Where the brisket, ribs, bbq sauce pictures? Don’t you hate it when you try something new and it doesn’t turn out? I was going to try out the Nuttzo Cinnamon Banana recipe but I went to the store and cinnamon just cost too damn much! Good luck on your next recipe adventure

    1. Oh man, am I going to have to point out your grammar here too? I won’t say what it is, but I think “your” well aware. 🙂
      I think you still need to give the NuttZo recipe a try, but in your case, omit ALL cinnamon. Although, most cinnamon in stores is actually cassia. Really hope you and Sloane are able to make something together soon.
      And about the pizza, yes, it sucks when a new recipe that sounds so great doesn’t work out. Although, sometimes that’s how a lot of other new recipes are found. I used to have a smoker and would smoke beef, turkey, and salmon on there often, but it broke and I haven’t found a new one. Maybe one day…..

    1. Oh man, it’s good enough to skip all recipes and just eat it with a spoon, that’s for sure! Hope you make it back to restock soon, and thanks for visiting!
