Pizza PowerCake!!

Good Afternoon! :]

Hope your thursday is going great,
just a few more days until CHRISTMAS!
Although, it doesn't feel like it's so close;
currently no snow?
I'm definitely a fan of a white christmas.

So before I share with you my PIZZA POWERCAKE
that totally worked out ;]
I wanted to tell you about day 4 of NYBBC!

Pre Workout Fuel:

Of course had to have my new obsession;
Power RiceCake with Coconut Oil, Protein Frosting & Clementine!


Kate & I were pretty sore today from our leg day yesterday..
so we did:

-5 minute warm-up on the treadmills

-4 different shoulder exercises
kettlebell swings with weights
right into - shoulder shrugs
- no rest in between
did this x 4

then...
12 reps of shoulder press with a weighted bar
right into - 12 lateral raises
did this x4

finished with 2 sets of 12 over-head should press with free weights.

Great job today Kate! ;]

After our workout, we stopped at the local farmers market!
(it just so happens to be on our way home)


It's like they read my mind; they had acorn squash for $1 a PIECE!



Also got Tomatoes for $2
& some Pepitas for some chocolate bark I plan on making ;]

So of course when I came home I had to throw them into the oven!












Just simply Sprayed with some Olive Oil
SS&P
(Sea Salt & Pepper)
 and roasted them for 45 minutes at 425 Degrees!

OKAY,
so I'm super excited that my
Pizza PowerCake
worked!!

I prepped the crust the night before..

 Baked 425 Degrees for 25-30 Minutes
 Put it in the fridge over-night

(but you could totally use it right away,
you just need to put it onto a pizza pan then top it
& put it back into the oven!)
 Topped mine with some No Salt Added Tomato Sauce
Mixed with some Basil, Oregano, Nutritional Yeast, & Stevia!
-Also added some mini mushrooms, olives, artichokes, & feta!!
 ^Put it on a pizza pan & back into the oven for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees
Just to melt the toppings!

**Sidenote: this "crust" is not as CRISPY as you may be used to.
It's definitely more like a cake-consistency!
If you let it cool out of the oven, it's wayy easier to eat!
If you're hungry right away though, you may need a fork ;]
