Up and Running

     It has been awhile and perhaps to long maybe since I have had a chance to sit and write, but I feel the need to get back to normal as much as I can. In doing this I am going to start writing hopefully a blog a week. There have been many changes the last almost three months. I had stopped baking bread, stopped cooking homemade meals and kinda just stopped being me.
    I thought it would be easier on me that way. Easier on the boys and make it less stressful. I found out though it was more stressful not being me. About two weeks ago I made homemade bread for the first time in about two or more months. It was the most amazing feeling. I was finally able to relax and it made me feel good. It was then that I realized this is who I am, this is what I do and if I enjoy it I am going to do it. Never ever underestimate what kneading a ball of dough will do.
    So I have also decided that along with my writing about going green. I will frequently also do an recipe along with each blog. I have had so many requests for things that I make I thought this was a great way to share them. To kick it off I will include a recipe for a quick simple meal I have recently discovered. Good, healthy and fast. I would take a picture, but it seems it was eaten very quickly before I got a chance to.

                                                            Quick and Fast Mexican Pizza

                         - 1 Whole Wheat Pizza Crust (Premade)

                         - Salsa (As hot or mild as you want it) 

                         - 1/2 pd or less of ground beef 

                         - 1/2 cup of Black Beans drained

                         - 1/2 cup of frozen corn 

                         - Mozzarella Cheese Grated 

                         

            Preheat the oven to what the package of  Pizza Crust says to. Cook the ground beef. I like to cook a  pound at a time and then use what I need and store the rest to spice up tomato soup or add to other things. Drain and let the ground beef sit on paper towel on a plate. This helps get any extra grease off. Take the Salsa and spread it as sauce on the crust. Use your judgment this is your pizza we are talking about.  Add the ground beef, Black beans and corn to the top of crust. Top with Mozzerella cheese. I usually use enough cheese to cover the toppings. Cook as package of Pizza Crust says to. 

*Please note I usually guess on some measurements and if 1/2 cup seems like to much for you eyeball it to your needs and wants. :) Also be creative if you think a peppers would go good on this add them. Or change up the meat a little maybe try turkey instead of ground beef. Have fun.
