Seven Miles and Socca on Saturday

Thanks for finding my new site! I’m pretty sure my WordPress site should be automatically redirected here. At least, it better be!

Why I love Saturdays- I slept until 7:30 this morning! It was amazing. I didn’t get out of bed until 8- that has to be a record :)

I made a smoothie and a single serving brownie that sadly went unphotographed. I had to eat fast, because I had a long run to get going on. I went to a nearby lake with my mom- she walked, I ran. I only ended up doing 4 miles around the lake, and ran home after, which brought my mileage to 7 miles.

It was already getting warm when I started running, and the heat made me drag! I did the finished in 1:01- definitely not as fast as my 7-miler last week. I was also supposed to run 8 miles, but I don’t think missing the extra mile is going to kill me. Did I mention my toenail fell off today? It is a sight to behold. I’ll spare you a picture :)

Lunch was a salad with a spinach pancake, refried beans, and the last of the lemon cilantro hummus (must get more!)

Pumpkin yogurt-

Apple with chocolate PB (I’m almost out of cocoa powder!)

All day, I kept thinking about dinner! I had a special ingredient in mind-

Garbanzo bean flour! I tried making socca pancakes once, and they came out pretty well, but I really wanted to give them another try and make them into a real pizza shape.

Socca Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

  • Mix it all up until there are no lumps.
  • Pour into a skillet over medium heat (I used a 9 inch one- that’s what she said)

  • After five or six minutes, flip the crust over. It should be bubbling on the sides and won’t be sticking to the pan at all when it’s ready to be flipped.

All done!

I topped the crust with my favorite pizza toppings- goat cheese, dried cranberries, Greek yogurt, and caramelized onions and baked it all for 10 minutes at 425 degrees.

Don’t let this picture fool you- I ate the whole thing! I just cut the first two pieces badly :)

I served it alongside some roasted broccoli for a little veggie action.

SO GOOD! I can’t wait to make this again.

What was the last new food you tried?

    I need to make more socca and experiment with the recipe, I dig that dish.

    The last new food I tried was unsweetened carob chips. They are delicious and I am shocked to learn that I like carob more than chocolate.

    I have never thought of putting sweetish topping on my pizza. I am more of a salty type of person, but I might give it a try. The last “new food” I tried was home-made soup. I never cook soup so it was a nice change. If it weren’t accompanied by the deadly flu, it would be a good new thing to try :-)

  3. Congrats on your blog Kate :D And the food looks so deliciosoooo! New food I’ve tried is coconut flour probably. Have a blessed weekend!

  4. That socca pizza looks amazing! I’ve been eating socca for a few weeks now and must get some socca pizza action!

  5. OMG your socca flip is SKILL! minewould fall apart!!! oo did you put cocoa powder in peanut flour?? that sounds good!

    Hi there! First time here and wanted to stop in to say hello! I’ve also never thought about putting a sweetish topping on a pizza! Looks great though, will give it a try! Thanks for sharing! :)

    I just bought some chia seeds and a Svelte protein drink. I haven’t officially tried either yet, but they’re in the kitchen waiting for me! I have had chia seeds in things before, but I’ve never purchased them or experimented with them myself!

    Congrats on the new site. Just so you know, when I clicked on your post link from google reader, it gave me a bluehost 404 error. When I clicked on the actual blog title, it sent me from wordpress.

  9. Katie H says:

    The new site looks great! hahah getting out of bed at 8 on a weekend day for me would be a record too- for the earliest I’ve gotten out of bed. I am such a laze!

  10. Those pizza toppings are extreme! I would never have thought to put cranberries and yogurt on pizza. Shall I? Dare I?

  11. Lauren says:

    That lake looks like a beautiful place to run!

  12. Emily says:

    yummmm cranberries and goat cheese :)

    I’m so sporadic with my sleeping… some weekends I sleep in and others I’m up bright and early. It usually depends on how late I stayed up during the week to do schoolwork and if I have to work early on the weekends. I like to get up by 8:30 or 9, but sometimes my body just needs to sleep later :D

  13. sooo jealous of your lake runs! Living in Arizona there is NO water ANYWHERE! The picture looks beautiful – i bet its so serene!

  14. That Socca pizza crust looks delicious! :D

  15. I’m the same; new food I’ve tried is the socca and loving it!
    Love the new blog too :-)

  16. The redirection worked out perfectly! :D

    Socc seems to be the latest craze, I se it on so many blogs (and still haven’t tried it) …

    The last new thing I’ve tried was pressure-cooked split peas. I’m still not sure about those.

  17. Kat says:

    The last new food I tried was Beef Vindaloo. It’s an extremely spicy curry and I just about died eating it. Delicious, but never to be repeated, really.

  18. Kelly says:

    congrats on the new site! Hehe, i can totally relate that sleeping until 7:30 a.m. is sleeping in. Oh, us morning people… :)

    Hmm, I’ve been cooking a lot with kale lately, and I’d actually never had it before maybe a year or so ago. I was seriously missing out!

  19. Ahh congrats on the new site! :) :) :)

    That socca pizza looks amazing. I actually don’t remember what the last new thing I tried was… I’m sort of a notorious creature of habit lol. Oh well…

    Weekends are the best ;)

    Glad you had a great run!

  21. Matt says:

    And I am so excited you are self hosting!

  22. Hannah says:

    Kate, technical question for you… how on EARTH did you manage to get your blog to redirect? I tried for months before giving up… who are you doing the self-hosting with?

  23. Oh that looks so good Kate! I made a socca pizze with a mixture of buckwheat and chickpea flour (but I baked it) and it was seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve ever tasted. The chickpea flour makes it so yummy.

  24. Wow, I have been gone a long time if you’ve gotten a new blog. :) congrats on self hosting! :)
    And totally jealous of your warm weather! We’ve been in the 50s & 60s here lately which is incredible for late February / early March……….. and then of course my first weekend of spring break it starts snowing again. Go figure, right?!

  25. Yum Yum Yum! I keep forgetting that I want to make this! I think I may have to make my own chickpea powder though! <3 I have this bookmarked — your toppings for the socca pizza look divine!

  26. Ahh I wish I had your early bird wake up tendencies!! Last new food? Uhh ahhh I don’t remember! Oh JACKFRUIT in Hong Kong.

  27. Oh, this sounds sooo delicious! WOW!

    Great blog; happy I found you!

    Delightful Bitefuls

  28. Oh man, I would give anything to be able to run that many miles! You are such an inspiration. I’m not a runner… I wish I were. I am definitely making pita pizzas for dinner tonight, alongside some roasted veggies!
