All Mondays should include (cheesy) pizza!! This whole wheat spinach and artichoke pizza is a game changer.
I mean, Mondays can be slightly intimidating, but ending the day with pizza gives us something to actually get excited about. I mean, right? RIGHT.
This Whole Wheat Spinach and Artichoke Pizza is basically everything and anything you’d want in a pizza. It’s healthy…ish, loaded with veggies, cheese, garlic, lemon and basil, all piled on the most delicious whole wheat crust! It’s honestly the best, and I while I typically save pizza for Friday and Saturday meals, I’m starting to rethink things…thinking we really need to make pizza Monday a thing.
Plus, this pizza only takes around thirty minutes from start to finish, thus allowing it fit into my “30 Minute Monday” theme for 2017. YES. Three weeks in and going strong…cool, cool.
So hey, hi! How was everyone’s weekend? Thanks so much for your incredible feedback on yesterday’s slightly different post. I am so excited you guys are enjoying seeing some different stuff from me. I had a lot of fun putting the post together, so more to come!
I spent most of my weekend working away because ahh, I am a workaholic and can’t be stopped. BUT, I did carve out a few hours later in the afternoon on Saturday to go tubing with Asher and her Brownie troop. I only went once since I didn’t actually have a ticket, but Asher had a blast going with her friends. Afterwards she convinced me to take her to Target to look at the Valentine’s Day stuff. She then proceeded to convince me to buy her kitty cat valentines for her class party, along with about four bags of milk chocolate hearts. We finished the night off with a Starbucks hot chocolate…full of mostly whipped cream.
The girl clearly has me wrapped around her little finger! Since my parents had to go down to Denver to pick my younger brother Red up from the airport, Asher spent the night at my house. Before she went to bed, she watched a marathon amount of Gilmore Girl episodes. I’ve created a monster, Asher is obsessed with Gilmore Girls, and I could not be more excited! She now not only shares my love of Harry Potter, but Gilmore Girls too! Sisters will be sisters!
Also, the tubing lifty guy called me her mother…no, no, no.
I also spent some time Sunday night hanging out with Red since he’s headed to Aspen today to begin practice for X-Games. What were you guys up to?
OK. Pizza time.
Like I said, I could not be more in love with this Whole Wheat Spinach and Artichoke Pizza. Spinach and artichokes have always been one of my favorite pizza toppings, so I knew that for Healthy January this year I wanted to create a healthified version.
Enter this pizza, complete with a whole wheat crust, plenty of spinach and artichokes, a little lighter on the cheese, seasoned with immune boosting lemons and topped with fresh microgreens. Simple little changes, but promise this pizza is beyond delicious. Sometimes simple truly is the best.
Question: how do you guys feel about whole wheat pizza crust? My dad used to buy pre-made ones as a kid and they seriously tasted like cardboard. Ever since then I have avoided them at all cost…until I made my own and realized I couldn’t even tell the difference. No one even knew the crust was whole wheat. This crust is crispy on the edges and doughy in the center. Just the way I love pizza crust! If you don’t have time to make your own dough, I’ve heard great things about Whole Foods whole wheat dough!
Once the pizza is in the oven, it takes no more than fifteen minutes or so to cook. The roasted lemon slices add a fresh flavor to this spring like pizza…it’s an awesome pick me up for winter! Top the pizza off with a ton of microgreens (my favorite topping for almost everything) and fresh basil.
YUMMMMM!
Perfect, quick, easy and healthy Monday night dinner. So who is ready?!?!
