March 2017 – Recipe Redux Theme:

Spring Clean the Kitchen

Cook with at least 3 ingredients that are actually in your refrigerator or pantry right now. Try not to go to the store to buy anything new. Give tips on how to make a healthy dish out of whatever you have on-hand.naan egg pizza

This Redux is right up my alley!! I love throwing together last minute dinners with ingredients I have on hand… sort of like being on Chopped. (<—- Do you love this show as much as I do??) I am not the kind of dietitian that does any meal planning at all, I’m a fly by the seats of my pants kind of girl when it comes to dinnertime, and I’m always trying to use up ingredients from the fridge or pantry.

This recipe isn’t exactly a recipe, it’s more a formula. It starts with a base layer, then a sauce, then a protein, and finally some veggie toppings. It’s a simple carbs + protein +fat combination for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. You can use whatever you have on hand but I’ll share some suggestions including 3 other recipes using this formula- Salsa Pizza, Brussels and Beets Pizza, and Apple Cheddar & Bacon Pizza.  It’s a foolproof formula that you can apply to use up any leftover ingredients in your fridge.
