It's Wednesday!!! (Whole Wheat Pizza Crust, Banana Pudding)

Woke up to overcast skies this morning and it is sprinkling off and on,  so the plan to soak up some sun at lake Acworth has been cancelled..  ahh well..  will just have to wait to get darker..  Guess I will clean and pack the living room and dining room and then I think I am going to make pizza for dinner..  with a nice healthy whole wheat crust,  I have  Turkey pepperoni, Turkey Italian sausage, onions, pepper, black olives and mushrooms,  even have some pickled jalapenos.. hmmm.. I love making pizza..  used to make it every Sunday during football season when I wasn't working all the time..
Today we get to go look inside the house that we are all in love with..  well in love with the outside..  I cannot wait..   it's a huge house.. almost 3000 sq feet..  I might not know what to do with that much room.. lol..   4 br 3 bath..  just 10 to 15 minutes from work.. depending on which way you go.. We could be moving in the next week and a half..  exciting and nerve racking too..  but we are strong, determined, stubborn women and we can get it done..  with some help of course..   :)  ahh.. so it didn't work out..  so back to the drawing board..   We will find something soon..  :) 
I also made an appt for a pedicure and fill Friday at noon with my favorite guy David,  he always does my nails and does an amazing job and Lynn,  she does my pedicures..  and she is great..  I have been going to Elite Nail spa for about 4 years.. love everything they do..  they are really good to me..  but I send them a lot of business..
The girls and I decided that we were going to watch Gone With The Wind when we got home..  Such an amazing movie..  I need to find my Rhett Butler!!!  :)  


























Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

2 c warm water
5 tsp yeast
2 tsp sugar
5 to 6 cups flour(I use 3 to 4 c whole wheat to 2 c all-purpose)
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil

In a large mixing bowl add the warm water, yeast and sugar,  lightly stir and let sit for 5 minutes to proof..   add 1 c flour, salt and olive oil,  mix and start adding flour 1 c at a time until a soft dough forms..  turn out on floured surface and knead a few times and them put in a bowl that has been oiled with olive oil.. roll the dough around until all sides are coated and cover with a towel and place in a warm spot to rise.. should take about an hour..   punch dough down and divide in half..  each half stretch out to either a round or oblong shape..  whatever size pan you have..  then place on oiled pan and bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes..  then top with your favorite sauce and toppings and cheese.. bake another 15 minutes....



 Banana Pudding

2 1/2 bananas
2 boxes Vanilla Wafers
1 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c flour
3 eggs
4 c milk
1 tsp vanilla

Slice bananas and layer them with the vanilla wafers in a big casserole dish.
In a large saucepan add the sugar, flour and eggs..  stir until well combined.. turn the heat onto a medium low and slowly stir in the milk.   Heat to boiling stirring constantly..  add the vanilla after it boils and thickens..  pour over the bananas and vanilla wafers..
