Foodie Friday, Anyone for Pizza?

Not something I usually do but today I thought I'd revert to form and post you a recipe I winged last night for pizza. Rather tasty and it didn't blow my syns completely (slimming world).

Margherita Pizza a la The Agoraphobic Fashionista

Ingredients

200g plain flour

1 tsp yeast

pinch of salt

half mug of warm water

4 tbsp passata  

pinch of oregano

pinch of basil

50g light mozzarella cheese

25g light cheddar cheese

Method 

1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt and warm water together in a bowl. Add the water a little at a time and mix well. When you have a dough like texture remove and pop onto a floured surface.

2. Knead dough well and shape into a pizza. Place onto a baking tray. 

3. Bake for 5 minutes whilst you prepare any toppings you want.

4. Mix passata, oregano and basil together in a bowl. Remove pizza and spread passata mixture on top. Don't be afraid of slapping it on!

5. Place your mozzarella cheese onto the top of the pizza and sprinkle over your cheddar.  Add a sprinkling of oregano and place back into the oven for approximately 10 minutes.

You can add whatever toppings you desire!

Serving Suggestion with roasted skinny fries and a green leafy salad.

I've calculated the syns for this method and they're coming in at approximately 12 syns per 2 slices (whatever size it ends up!) as we shared it amongst the 4 of us.

Not too bad when you want a slightly indulgent dinner without blowing your eating plan right out of the window. Even better if you've saved your HEA and can use cheese as part of that! Plus your little one will love helping make a homemade pizza.

Hope you enjoyed the change in pace! Why not pop by and tell me your favourite slimming world recipe? I've had many in development for a while now but my all time favourite still has to be my own recipe Rogan Josh, in fact we haven't had that in a while! Saturday night curry anyone?

Ax Paris Summer Floral Dress

This month's AX Paris pick was a very cute little dress that I figured I could style a few ways. Always one to work out how versatile a piece will be before I commit to it this dress screamed versatility to me. 

For it's debut I went with leggings, boots and my Matalan leather sleeved jacket. 

Can you see the fun detail at the waist and hem? Beautiful hint of see-through lace whilst keeping your dignity in tact. Quite a weighted dress contrary to how light it may look in pictures. It would be light enough to wear with leggings etc though heavy enough to wear on it's own. It hangs really well on the frame.

I really do love the contrast of the flowers and the lace. It gives what could potentially be a very girly dress the perfect edge. I went for a sz 14 in this dress and it fits really well, a bit loose but then I like my clothes a tad over sized.

The lace cut out really does make the dress

I adore the continuity with the band of lace at the hem also. It pulls the dress together perfectly.

My only accessory was the fab statement necklace I picked up recently in George at Asda for next to nothing. Beautiful Spring colour and a hint of sparkle making it a perfect necklace to dress down.

The AX Paris Floral Chiffon Lace Cut Out Skater Dress is currently stocked in sizes 8 to 14 and is priced at £25. Next styling? With my new denim jacket!

Yes, it's girly but I do think the lace gives it a grunge edge that I just couldn't ignore. I think it'll be a great Summer dress (should we ever have a Summer that is!)

What do you think? Are you a fan of girly dresses with an edge?
