Happy Hump Day Bloggies!
How are things? 
Not too much shakin’ over here – but I do want to share with you the KICK ASS dinner that I threw together last night!
MEXICAN PIZZA!!
(did you use to have this ever Friday in the cafeteria in grade school???) 
Final product close up!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8oz lean turkey meat
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 package of TJ’s Whole Wheat pizza dough
- black beans
- lettuce
- salsa
- olives
- tomatoes
- cheese
- whatever other seasonings and toppings you would like!
Spread out the pizza dough and put it in the oven “naked” for about 10 minutes so that it starts to bake (I added a VERY THIN layer of pizza sauce just for fun).
While the dough is cooking – brown the turkey meat and then add the WHOLE packet of seasoning with 1/4 cup of water (it will seems like a LOT of seasoning).
Pull the dough out of the oven – top it with the meat, and a little bit of cheese – and cook it for another 10 minutes. It should come out looking like this:
I had all the toppings out for me and Mike so we could top it with whatever we wanted:
and here’s my pieces!
This was DAYUM GOOD – if I do say so myself! I was seriously proud of myself! 
Breakfast today – MMM.MMM.GOOD – spicy oats!
I switched things up for my snack today – and had an Apple Cinnamon z-bar that I grabbed this weekend at Whole Foods…
…and some BnPB that Erin has been raving about for weeks now. At first – my verdict was out on this stuff. I tried it with pretzels, and thought it tasted a lot like paint thinner! BLEH!
But upon further review – if eaten with something – like the z-bar here, or my apple at lunch – I LIKE IT! 
Lunch was a salad (FINALLY!) – but still without spinach! The last two times I’ve gone to Aldi they haven’t had any! What’s up with that?!
with a big Pacific Rose apple, and a Diet coke!
While I don’t celebrate Lent in the religious sense – I figured I’d keep with the spirit of things – and sacrifice for 40 days. Some of the other bloggers out there have posted some really great ideas – and here’s what I’ve come up with!
- fast food (if it has a drive thru – it’s fast food!)
- work snacks (include the NEW tub of Red Vines that surfaced in my department!)
We’ll see how it goes! Have a good hump day kiddos!

I’m not Catholic, but I usually do something for Lent – I haven’t been able to come up with anything the past couple of years (because I’m perfect already!) and really want to do something this year. I guess I need to think of something stat!
LOVE the mexican pizza! Green chilis will be must for me when I try to recreate this!

That recipe looks so good. I love anything that includes black olives. I’m presently out of green olives…the Labrador Retriever helped me unload my groceries this morning! Thanks for the yummy blog.

When I make my Mexican pizza, I mix together 1 cup of fat free refried beans with a small can of enchilada sauce as my base – so good!
Yours looks delicious too – and you reminded me I need to submit my black bean BSI recipe!
