Welcome to my recipe blog. I created this blog to track my culinary journey and to help organize myself to get my weekly meal planning under control. But I also hope it can help you plan your weekly meals or get recipe ideas for new things to try for your family. I've set up recipes so you can find ideas by type of meal or ingredient, and there will also be categories for daily tips and weekly meal schedules. I would love your input, tips, recipes and meal suggestions. I was inspired to create this blog by seeing some other yummy blog examples, so if you have a similar blog of your own let me know and I'll add a link here.

Spinach & Proscuitto Pizza

Making home-made pizza is always a fun treat. It's a great activity to get kids involved in, from rolling out the crust to spreading out toppings. You can customize the pizza with toppings your family likes, or experiment with new flavors. This pizza was the latter. I love to buy whole wheat pizza crust from the refrigerated section at Trader Joe's, but I wanted to try some new toppings that were a bit healthier, so I found a recipe that I thought would work (even though there is no sauce)

Recipe
Adapted from Foodnetwork.com

1 whole wheat pizza crust
4 cups baby spinach
3 oz. prosciutto
½ c. shredded parmesean cheese

Directions

Roll out the pizza crust according to package directions. (We rolled out ours into a sqare, but you can use whatever shape you want). Spread the spinach out all over the crust. Cut up the proscuitto into bite-size pieces then spread over the spinach. Top with parmesean cheese. Cook 12-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is cooked and golden. Slice and serve.
