Have I ever mentioned that I usually cook two different meals for dinner? Well, I know that I have at least said a thing or two about my Husband, Dave’s, picky food habits… which leads me to no other option than to cook two entirely different meals more than half the time. And it’s not just him that leads to the difficulty- it’s me too. I have a real distaste for meat. Dave on the other hand, would eat meat all day long if he could. So you see, if I would just eat meat than I wouldn’t have half the trouble planning meals that I do. We’ve simply been at an impasse about food for our whole marital relationship (5 years this June- wohoo!). But now that my daughter is getting older and she is going to start eating real food soon, I am on the search for meals that both Dave and I will eat. I don’t want her to see me cooking a separate meal for him and then end up having her expect that she can have something different too. That’s all I need is to be cooking three meals a night…
I am lucky enough that although Dave is picky, he doesn’t usually have a problem with healthier options, specifically whole-wheat. Which brings me to this pizza! It’s made of 73% whole-wheat flour, giving it a hearty dose of fiber and nutrients that you don’t normally get with the basic white pizza dough. The dough is a bit wetter and stickier than usual because of the added water to make up for the flour changes, just use a little extra flour for easier handling.
