Experiment #5: Desert Pizza

I swear this really isn't as bad for you as it sounds... just one serving of the sugar cookie crust is around 80 calories if I remember correctly and everything else is fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream. So it can't be too bad, right?

Sugar cookie crust:

2 ¾ c flour
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1 ½ c sugar
1 c butter (2 sticks, softened)
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375

Beat sugar and butter together until creamy. Add in egg and vanilla. Slowly combine flour bkg soda and powder with the sugar and butter mixture until mixture looks like large crumbs. Press or roll dough into pizza pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Cool and set aside


Whipped cream:

2 c heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract


Whip heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Then add the sugar and extracts and continue to beat the mixture until soft peaks form when you pull the whisk out.


Once the crust is cooled add the whipped cream, and your choice of fruits or chocolate or whatever :) and enjoy

Not so brief hiatus (...sorry...)

It has been a looonnnngg time since I even last looked at this. Since then I have stopped the Paleo diet, blamed my appendicitis on it and will neither endorse it or willingly participate in it ever again.

That being said, there are a couple of months of lost recipe experiments that I either somehow have to remember and post or just start up from scratch and post new recipes as I make them... these newer ones may or may not be as healthy as the ones previously, but I am still doing everything in my power to maintain a healthy lifestyle... I just have a little relapse into unhealthy habits every once in a while... oops.

That being said, I PROMISE to try to be more mindful about posting on this. Promise promise promise. Cross my heart and hope to die. And welp, here we go again....
