Recipe Thursday: Roasted Garlic White Pizza with Macadamia Ricotta

Roasted Garlic White Pizza with Macadamia Ricotta, vegan pizza, vegan dinner, vegan recipes, dairy free, dairy free pizza, dairy free cheese,

Because I am lactose intolerant I very rarely eat pizza...until now! I recently got the most amazing vegan cookbook, and am loving all of the recipes! Although this pizza was delicious, it does take a little bit of work. The pizza dough was made from scratch, I roasted the garlic as well, and the macadamia ricotta is also from scratch which does take a little bit of time. I found that making the dough and ricotta in advance made the recipe much easier! Let me know what you think! 


INGREDIENTS: 

Roasted Garlic White Sauce 
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk 
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar 
  • water
  • 1/2 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 head roasted garlic 
  • 1/4 cup cashews, soaked in water at least 1 hour, water discarded
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice 
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon white miso 
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast 
  • Salt and black pepper to taste  
Pizza


DIRECTIONS:
  1. Lightly dust a pizza pan or baking sheet with cornmeal; set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 475 degrees F. 
  2. Mix the non-dairy milk with the vinegar in a cup and set aside for at least 5 minutes. 
  3. Meanwhile, steam the cauliflower florets for about 10 minutes, until they are easily pierced with a fork. Remove and let cool for a few minutes. 
  4. Gently squeeze each clove of garlic from its skin into a food processor. Add the steamed cauliflower, milk mixture, cashews, lemon juice, miso, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. 
  5. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and water. Saute until the spinach has just begun to wilt. Remove from the heat. 
  6. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to the desired size, making sure the dough is at least 1/4 inch thick. Spread the spinach on top, leaving a 1/2 inch crust around the perimeter. Spoon the white sauce on top of the spinach. Crumble the Macadamia Ricotta on top of the sauce. 
  7. Transfer the pizza onto the prepared pan, Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust has risen and is lightly golden. Slice and serve hot!

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
