BBQ Chicken Pizza | From Scratch


Our family loves pizza. Who doesn't though? More than anything, we love making pizza dough from scratch. Anytime I can get my littles in the kitchen with me is a blessing. They love it and I love it. This recipe is easy enough to where their little hands can easily help.

I've compared my pizza dough recipe to a few of my friends and they're all basically the same. Here's mine:

1 cup warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1. Mix the dry yeast and sugar in the cup of warm water. Place aside.
2. Mix the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the water/yeast/sugar mixer to the bowl along with the olive oil.
4. Mix until it becomes evenly doughy. (I use my hands)

Place a damp towel over the top of the bowl and let it rise for 30 minutes (or more). Roll out on a pizza tray.

Now for the good stuff...

1. Spread barbeque sauce of your choice evenly over the dough. I usually use 1/4 - 1/2 cup.
2. Finely chop 1/4 cup of spinach. Sprinkle half of it on the sauce.
3. Add cheese. I usually prefer a Monterey Jack/mozzarella mixer but whatever you like or have is fine.
4. Add 1/2 - 1 cup of cooked chicken. I usually just thaw some from my bulk meat cooking.
5. Top with 4-6 sliced mini peppers (or two large bell peppers) and the rest of the spinach.
6. Sprinkle with a touch of cilantro.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.

**Note: I add spinach to give the pizza a little more nutrients. Since spinach doesn't have a whole lot of flavor it can easily be added and go unnoticed if chopped finely enough.

Enjoy!

The 10-20-30-40-50 Workout

    I get asked what I do for exercise quite often. I, in no way, have the perfect body, but I am in pretty decent shape and I think it is always important to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle whether you're a mom or not. I don't think being a mom is an excuse to not be healthy (and just so y'all know, being healthy doesn't mean we don't have stretch marks or extra cushion. AmIright?) but I do understand dedicating a large quantity of your day to fitness is really difficult. In addition to having a desire to be healthy, I workout because food. I love it. And I don't want to stop eating it. So I workout. I take one kickboxing/insanity class each week at a local church (I LOVE IT!) but other than that I'm on my own for exercise. Running is usually my go-to - it has always been relaxing, calming and therapeutic to me. Then my kids turned 2 and 4 and I was like 'holy cow! Is there an actual COW in this stroller I'm pushing? One that won...

Each Day Has Enough Trouble of Its Own

Sometimes we hear exactly what we need to hear. That's what happened to me this week. Along with motherhood, as many of you know, comes so much worry. Worry about the well-being of your child. Worry about doing things correctly. Worry about giving enough time to your children and enough time to your husband. Worry about finding enough time for yourself. Worry about being a good mom and a good wife. Worry about getting enough sleep tonight so I can have enough energy to get through tomorrow. The list of worries and anxieties go on and on. They don't tell you about this when we sign up to be parent. Or do they? Anyway, last week I was reading the Bible. While studying the book of Matthew I came across this verse: "But seek first His kingdom and all His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:33-34 Isn't that script...
