Sprouts and Pizza

June 2, 2012 by christine

Today is the last day of taking antibiotics for the bladder infection and I’m thrilled! The side effects have been awful! Headaches, nausea, dizziness, cramps, etc. making for a tough and looooong short week at work! So it was great to relax at home most of the day getting in a little gym time and couch time with these guys.

And I finally harvested my lentil sprouts, after 6 days they were out of control!

I learned that I’m not the only fan of sprouted lentils in the house, Miko was quick to clean up the floor droppings and happily ate any I offered him.

Who knew! My list of vegan foods he loves is growing, I also discovered he’s a watermelon fan this week.

I enjoyed loading a huge lunch salad with the sprouts, fresh corn, spinach, and a hummus dressing.

Dinner was more exciting because we had a last minute pizza-making party at my sister’s house where they made fabulous dough and laid out an huge range of toppings for everyone to make they’re own creation. I created a vegan masterpiece by layering on spinach, mushrooms, ground olives, onions, peppers, fresh marinara sauce, and sprinkled with nutritional yeast before placing on a heated pizza stone and baking at 425 degrees for 8 minutes.

The crust came out perfectly, thin and crispy and the nutritional yeast created a creamy cheese texture with the marinara sauce. After a huge pizza dinner and maybe a few watermelon vodka cocktails from the Vitamix, I’m totally relaxed and looking forward to a good night’s sleep and getting back to normal health tomorrow!

    I’m so glad you’re almost done with the treatment! You poor thing.

    Those lentils sprouts look divine – love that pup digs ’em, too!

    I love the sprouter! Where did you get that? I usually use mason jars, but this allows for the lentils to spread out. That watermelon/vodka sounds yummy.

      Hi, this is the sprouter I have:

      It’s works well for lentils and other larger beans, but not as well for mung bean sprouts and smaller seeds, so I still use a jar for those.
