Shred It.

I've been cooking a lot lately, but nothing that merits* recipes. I've been trying to be good about what I've been making and eating, and I have been, but that means that everything is sort of boring. Mostly it's baking a lot of chicken and salmon and eating salads. I've also started the 30 Day Shred, which is where Jillian Michaels sort of yells at you to do stuff for 20 minutes and you're supposed to lose weight. I guess I'll wait for 28 days to see whether or not I've been truly shredded. So far, I'm mostly sore.

I sort of carb-bombed myself tonight (which totally makes the 30 day shred worth it :-P) with this gem:

French bread pizza for the lazy

1/2 loaf crusty french bread, cut in half lengthwise
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
oregano
salt+pepper
granulated garlic
red pepper flakes

Set oven to 350. This is actually just a token. You probably don't need to heat this with the way that I made it. Combine all ingredients (besides the bread) in a small sauce pan. Heat through and season to taste. Spread bread with a lot of sauce and the bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

So I just submitted a modified version of this recipe for the Aiming Low backburner recipe contest. The modified version includes things like "olive oil" and "cheese" for all those who believe that pizza deserves lactose. :)

*just because this doesn't *merit* a recipe doesn't mean that it won't get one
