Last week's foods

I didn't do THAT great this week.. while most of my eating is clean, sometimes I'm just hoarding food and eating way too much. I felt overall like I had no control almost like I was experiencing that great feeling of p-m-sing when you just have to eat this and that and are hungry all the time (at least for me). Ugh. Abby and I ran yesterday - the humidity was high and it was hard to breathe. But for sure, it was nice to meet up for a run and catch up! I'm still just sitting here struggling with the start to school on Tuesday. Ugh... again.

Some recipes/foods from last week, most adapted from eat-clean except for the first one.

Granola bars

I didn't follow the recipe exactly as posted above,
but anytime I make granola bars they turn into granola.



This happened here too - it is good with yogurt!
I'm sticking with my tempo bars!

EAT CLEAN PIZZA
Bill said this was the best pizza dough I've made yet. Wooo! I agreed.
It was a great consistency, relatively easy to make, and yummy!
Recipe adapted from eat-clean cookbook

2 c whole wheat flour
1 package rapid rise yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbs rosemary
1 tbs parsley
1/2 tsp agave nectar
3/4 c warm water
1 tbs olive oil

Put flour in the food processor and process. Change the blade the kneading blade. In a measuring cup combine hot water, oil, yeast and agave. Let stand for 5 min or till foamy. Add this to the food processor while it is running. After a few minutes, it should turn into a soft looking ball. If it seems crumbly add more water. If it appears sticky, take it out, cover hands with flour and knead it until smooth. With lightly oiled hands, remove the ball from the food processor and place it in a bowl covered with cooking oil. Place a wet kitchen towel over the dough and let it rise for an hour.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Add toppings and Bake at 450 for 15 minutes

Then some not clean eating. I made a birthday cake for my sister. It was supposed to be a checkerboard and was 3 layers. It was a big flop. I must have overcooked it. It didn't stay together. That sucked because I spent a whole lot of time making it. I want to try it again, because it looks really cool on the box. Don't know what I did wrong!
