Naan Pizza Goodness

Tonight for dinner I wanted something light and something fast. I was completely game when The Husband said he'd even help make it - woohoo!! I knew I was going to use the Whole Grain Naan Bread that I picked up this weekend. We pondered ideas of just having it with the leftover White Bean & Bacon Soup With Pesto or making Pizza....which on do you think won? I know - it's a tough choice, LOL! We used the entire pack of Naan Bread and made up two of these pizza rounds.

Naan Turkey Pepperoni, Olive, Mushroom Pizza

Naan Bread (3 pts for 1/2 a bread)
Your favorite Pizza Sauce (0 pts for most)
Lowfat Mozzarella (2-3 pts per serving)
Sauted Mushrooms (0 pts)
Sliced Olives (1 pt)
Turkey Pepperoni (17 pieces are only 2 pts!)

We baked the pizzas at 400 for 7 minutes - so easy, right? The best part is that I got The Husband to eat wheat pizza crust again - yahoo! He is totally anti-wheat.

While I made up the pizzas, he decorated our salads. He was soooo proud of himself for making it picture perfect. I think he did a great job - check it out.

And he used the super cute bowl he bought me for Easter.

All together I had 2 pieces of our Naan Pizza (1/2 a bread)

plus a big salad with ~ 1 1/2 Tbsp Annie's Naturals Lite Italian Dressing with a fizzy water and vitamins (that The Husband put out for us).

This dinner was awesome - light and filling at the same time. I LOVE Naan bread now - it was crunchy and doughy and chewy. It really made the pizza so tasty just like a real pizza place. I will definitely use Naan to make pizza again. I LOVE using pitas too but this is another FUN option.

Did I mention that I was also able to get The Husband to go to the grocery store with me? I did have to bribe him with Lotto and Scratchers. While we were there, I had to feed my flip flop addiction! I have way too many pairs of flip flops, but, seriously, can a girl have enough flip flops? Check out how cute these are and they were only $7!

Do you all remember the Holey Donut Party I went to last week? Well, Holey Donuts is having FREE SHIPPING for the next 48 hours if you were pondering ordering any. You still have to buy a minimum of 4 things, but, that can save you a good chunk of change.

On that note....I am off to work on my Biggest Loser 30 Day Jump Start Review.

  3. I love naan, there is always at least one packet of wheat naan in my freezer at any given point. Oddly enough, I've never considered using it as a pizza base before. (Maybe that's the Indian in me?) :) This looks fantastic though, I'm definitely going to try this out sometime.

  4. what a genius idea using naan as a pizza crust! I know they have different flavors - i'm thinking garlic naan would be fabulous for pizza!
