🍕Garlic Mushroom and Spinach Pizza

💚 Please Follow Our Page to have such a mouth-watering 🍅 Recipes on Daily Basis

📝Recipe 

1 batch vegan pizza dough (1/2 lbs) (gluten-free, if desired)

Spinach Cheese:

7 oz spinach (200 g) fresh or frozen

3 garlic cloves

salt, pepper to taste

2/3 cup dairy-free cream cheese (150 g)

3/4 cup dairy-free cheese (75 g) shredded

📝Roasted mushrooms:

1 tbsp olive oil

5 oz mushrooms (150 g)

salt to taste

Topping:

2 tbsp pine nuts

📍INSTRUCTION:

Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out your pizza dough with a rolling pin. Place the pizza dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (You can also use a pizza pan or pizza stone).

If using frozen spinach, simply thaw and squeeze the liquid.

If using fresh spinach, bring salted water to a boil in a pot. Add spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until it starts to wilt. Then squeeze the spinach well and chop roughly.

Heat up a little oil in a small pan and roast garlic for 30 seconds while stirring. Then add the cream cheese along with the spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine.

Spread the spinach cream mixture over your pizza dough followed by vegan cheese.

Bake the pizza for about 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.

In the meantime, fry mushrooms in a pan with some oil for 6-8 minutes until golden browned. Add a little salt to taste.

Toast pine nuts in another pan without adding any oil.

When your pizza is done top with mushrooms and pine nuts if using. Enjoy! .

I fell yesterday, slipped on my front, stone walkway, doing an awkward sort of front splits.

It hurt at the time, but mostly my knee that I landed on, scraping the skin from, along with the hand that hit ground.

I've been discovering, over the 2 years since my ABI (aquired brain injury) that it takes very little to bring on a headache that more often than not becomes a migraine, but the pain in my legs, arms, neck and shoulders is excruciating.

And yesterday, it felt like just a small fall, nothing more than a couple scrapes.

And then today, I wake up and can hardly walk, hardly move, without pain EVERYWHERE.

It's another thing to add to my list of New Realities', small stuff is no longer small. Every little bump, bang or slip can put you out of commission for more than a few days...

Lots of Peppermint oil for this girl tonight

Hello friends... It's been a while since I posted, so I wanted to give you all a little update. I'm still reading 'The Sun Down Motel' and I'm truly enjoying it. However, I've been struggling with severe migraines the past few weeks which has made it difficult for me to put together my review on 'The Plot', which was amazing! With an ABI, it's hard to plan anything. My migraines come out of nowhere and can last anywhere from 5 hours, to days on end. They cause severe pain, blurred vision, nausea, neck pain, and, of course with all of those symptoms, I get the 'dark & twisties' knowing I'm far from figuring out how to prevent them. I also tend to deal with intrusive memories of the incident the caused my ABI 😔 I am currently working with my doctor to find the best preventative medication to hopefully 🤞 avoid future migraines, but it’s a process, one that can take years before its figured out. I'm trying to be patient, but before this ABI, I'd had MAYBE 2-3 migraines in my life, every time was because of the hat I was wearing, and they went away once I took the hats off. But now, I'm having them more often than not. Anyway, I'll have those 2 reviews for you ASAP, once this headache eases up.

Finished!! It took me a little bit longer to get through this, as I've been struggling with cluster migraines the last couple of weeks (and I'm learning that rest is SO important to ABI revovery), but I just finished, and WOW! This book was one of the best I've read in a long time! From page 1, the action is non-stop and it will keep you guessing at every turn. Finn is in love, but who is it that he's in love with? The woman he's lost or the woman he's with? Does he really know either or is he just a pawn in a game he'll never understand? BA Paris writes another masterpiece of thrilling twists and curves you'll never see coming, right up to the very last page! @baparisauthor 'Bring Me Back' is a must read! You will NOT be disappointed!

I began this Bookstagram 2 days ago, as a way of sharing my story as well as my recovery, especially when it comes to reading. I'd heard that Bookstagram had gotten huge, so, I started doing some research. And I took the plunge, not sure where it would take me... Well, 2 days in and I'm up to 104 followers! It's like finding my place in the world. And, so far, this community has been warm, welcoming, supportive and so much fun! Thanks for the love, I truly appreciate all of you 💕 Justina xxo #booknerd #bookstagram #suchagreatcommunity #readingtorecovery #ABIrecovery #readingmakesyousmarter (at Somewhere In Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8jC__DSr1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Third book in 3 weeks! Joy Fielding @fieldingjoy has been a favourite author of mine for many, many years, since I read 'Grand Avenue', which is another amazing read! 'Still Life' is told from the perspective of a woman in a coma. As Casey lies, listening to her friends and family around her, she starts to question everything and everyone she's ever known. While discovering her life isn't what she thought it was, Casey is afraid of running out of time before she can wake up and find out what really happened to her? Was it an accident or did someone deliberately do this her? Will she figure it out before her life is snuffed out altogether? This book will have you hooked from page #1 😉 Justina xxo #booknerd #readingmakesyousmarter #readingtorecovery #bookreviewer #joyfielding #thrillerbooks #pageturner #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ54_9fj_3N/?utm_medium=tumblr
