Egg Pizza
Update: I am raffling off this AMAZING Breville Juicer for the Livestrong Foundation tomorrow. Tickets are just $5; check back tomorrow for details. Just a heads up!
Afternoon!
The Husband took off work today, so we’re hanging out in the office together. He’s studying for board exam #3 now. Husband says hello!
I made use an egg-tastic lunch:
I love egg pizza! It reminded me of a breakfast burrito, but it’s even better because the egg becomes a little crunchy in the oven.
Plus, I load it up with vegetables!
To make the pizza, I cooked mushrooms and onions in a wok, put them aside, and then cooked the eggs (I used 3 and split between the Husband and I). I smothered a whole wheat pita with pasta sauce, and then I added the veggies, eggs, diced tomatoes, and Cheddar cheese to the top.
After baking at 350 for 17 minutes… Yum!
Plus, a Green Monster. I’m slowly working my way through a 2.5 bag of spinach!
My GM contained: 1 banana, 2 cups raw spinach, and 1 cup vanilla almond milk.
Two things: You have until 1 PM EST to enter the MBT.com ‘anti-shoe’ raffle! Will contact the winners later. Good luck.
And for an interesting discussion about Exercise Compulsion, check out Heather’s most recent post. My thoughts are in comment #26!

You know you are a food blogger when you can spend 3+ hours in a grocery store and the sight of Caramel Oikos earns a loud squeal… that then earns you some unusual looks
The breakfast pizza looks AWESOME!! That just may be my dinner tonight…

You are so lucky you have your husband around to treat you!
And, I have that book too — it is great, but I think you have to be REALLY dedicated to make it work, as in, if you have to pee at 4 a.m., you have to take your temperature before getting out of bed to determine your ovulation time period, because your accurate temp can change in just that short amount of time out of bed … But I am very seriously considering going off birth control pills (which I’ve been on consistently for 10 years, eeek!) after I run my first marathon in May. We don’t want babies for a couple years, so I think that might be an interesting next physical challenge for myself!

my fave way to make egg pizza: top crust with olive oil and turkey bacon — cook about 10 minutes (until crust is SLIGHTLY brown) – then crack an eggs on top and let cook until egg is cooked to desired done-ness.
looooveee the runny yolk with the bacon – so tasty!

Hi Caitlin!
I’m a lurker who never comments. Your abundance of green monsters lately has me craving one. (Or maybe it’s the fact that I’m 33 weeks pregnant?)
Anyways, I’m wondering what you use to make them. Just a regular blender? If so, don’t you find it a hassle to wash after every use? I want to start drinking them, but maybe I’m just too lazy to wash my blender. =/

You know you are a food blogger when the temperature of the food when you eat it is not nearly as important as getting the best possible photo of it. That pizza does look great! I loved that you hubby did the cupping thing. You have your own personal doctor. Very cool! I have been swimming since I was little and shoulder issues are kind of part of it. It may be you just are using it much more than you are used to normally. It helps that you are trying to learn good form as that can lead to more serious injuries (even though you wouldn’t think swimming could possibly hurt you).

Anyway, I think you know when you’re a food blogger when you eat most of your meals lukewarm/cold because you were taking pictures of it while it was still hot.
A green monster question – I have never had one but after hearing all of the benefits (glowing skin!), I think I need to start incorporating them into my diet – is there any specific ingredient list? Or does it just have to contain spinach?

I tweeted this back to you today but…
You know you’re a food blogger when you refuse to eat in at dimly lit restaurants.
You know you’re a food blogger when you have to have to regularly scrub bits of food off your camera.

You know you’re a food blogger when you’re late to work because you couldn’t get the right light to photo your breakfast.

I have a blog, but I’m not a food blogger, however, I read most of these posts and nodded along. clearly, I’ve been missing my true calling by not taking food pictures!
I do however have 6 different kinds of nut butters, 4 different types of almond milk, a bulk bag of chia seeds and 2 costco sized bags of spinach in my cupboards/fridge. Does that make me a food blogger wannabe or stalker?

You know you’re a food blogger when you make something look pretty on your plate JUST so you can get a good picture, not because you’re trying to impress your significant other. (BTW, those egg pizzas look yummy.)

You know you’re a food blogger when you meet new people at a meal and awkwardly whip out your camera a few minutes later to photograph the appetizer.

I made the egg pizza today, it was so good! I used 2 egg whites, spinach, marinara sauce w/ artichokes, 1/2 link grilled turkey sausage, and goat cheese. perfect fuel after a 9 mile run
thanks for the idea!

Egg pizza YUMMINESS!
Yesterday was a day that went down in the books for me: I inhaled an entire 1lb bag of spinach over the course of 2 green monsters. Yeah…I might have a problem.

I go through those Costco bags of spinach in two days. Yes, 2.5 pounds in two days. Nuts!

Ha, when your husband calls your blog friends the “boogers” or “blügers” and when I say I’m going out with them, I have to say EatingBender Jenn or Banana Caroline…

You know you’re a food blogger when your boss starts asking you “NOW which company sent you a product to review?”
I’ve gotten packages pretty frequently lately, and have to have them delivered to work! I don’t think everyone else minds because I usually share…

i looooove making breakfast pizza! flat outs work well for crust too b/c they get really crispy.
i’m trying a recipe tonight i found for egg/spinach/asparagus pizza, only it says you pour the egg over the top, rather than cooking it ahead of time like i usually do… i think it’s gonna be TASTYYYY

Hahaha This is so awesome! I just read all the comments- too funny!
You know you’re a food blogger when you can live without flash on you $700 camera for 3 months because 1. you can’t give up your camera for even a day, and 2. you never use flash anyway!
You know you’re a food blogger when out of your family, you have the only white plate.

You know you’re a food blogger when your husband goes through your photo archives on the computer looking for a picture of the dog and finds hundreds of smoothies, dinners, and bowls of oatmeal saved by date. Apparently, I’m weird

You know you are a food blogger when you are planning a trip to New York for the first time and the first thing you look up is where the trader joes and whole foods stores are located because you have never been and seriously NEED to go. Tonight my hubby asked if the only reason we are going to New York is for nut butter. I said no. I lied.
Hehe.

Blighty. And pay extra baggage allowance. Caitlin, is the Husband looking forward to the World Cup? Rooooney!

…when you go out to dinner and get more upset that you locked your camera in your car than the fact that you locked your keys in your car.
…when one of your greatest aspirations is to someday live near a Trader Joe’s or a Whole Foods.
…when you call canned pumpkin a comfort food.
…when you could get lost in a grocery store for hours.
Happy Friday, Cait!
