Gluten-Free and Paleo-ish Homemade Pizza

I was craving pizza and wanted something quick and easy! I found gluten-free pita crust at Hy-Vee and used veggies I had in the fridge. Here is my recipe but you can add other veggies or meat!

Ingredients:

1 pack of gluten-free pitas (or pizza crust)

1 tsp olive oil (for crust) 

Pizza sauce 

1 pound of ground turkey

1 tbsp oregano

1 tbsp basil

1 tomato

Handful of spinach

1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

 Preheat oven to the directions on pita package. Cook ground turkey in a skillet and add basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. 

Add pizza sauce, spinach, sliced tomatoes, ground turkey, and then top with cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Slice and enjoy!

Paleo Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

I took a recipe from the book, "Make Ahead Paleo" and made a few changes. This was super easy, delicious, and a great way to get rid of those brown bananas. 

Dry Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/3 cup coconut flour, sifted
1/3 cup arrowroot starch
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients:
4 very ripe bananas - the browner the better!
4 eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup coconut milk

Add-In:
1 cup chocolate chips 

1.   Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
2. In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. 
3. In a large bowl, blend the bananas, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut milk with a hand mixer until bananas are fully mashed. 
4. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl, and blend. 
5. Stir in the chocolate chips 
6. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan with coconut spray/oil. Pour the batter into the greased pan. 
7. Bake the loaf for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set. 
8. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. 
9. Turn the loaf out of pan and onto the wire rack to cool. 
10. To store in the freezer, place small squares of wax paper between the slices. Place the slices in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. 

Roasted Beef and Veggies

Have you gotten to the end of the week realized you need to use up some veggies before they go bad?! This is a fool proof recipe that will help you roast those veggies before they expire and have a delicious dinner! I used brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and onions because that's what I had on hand, but sweet potatoes, broccoli or peppers would also be great. 

Ingredients:

1 bag of Brussels Sprouts - cleaned and halved

1 Butternut squash - diced

1 Yellow Onion - diced

1 package of Hillshire Farms All Beef Sausage

Generous covering of Salt & Pepper

2 Tablespoons Grapeseed Oil

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 375. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil (faster clean up). Clean and cut all veggies and meat. Add to baking sheet. Liberally add salt and pepper, and lastly oil. Bake for 35-45 minutes until veggies are tender.
