Life has been becoming increasingly difficult it feels. I know I am in an adjustment period of the “new norm” with school being back in session and handling my new position and then cue in balancing the photography business, keeping up with this blog, and most importantly helping my parents as they’ve needed so much lately since my dad has been ill and the home life with the other new norm of doing homework with my sons now that they are both going to school. Yes, that’s a run-on sentence, which is a prime example of what every moment of everyday with the last two weeks has felt like. But, I am keeping the faith and keeping in mind who this struggle is for, as I am a servant of God.

In that daily madness I try to plan a weekly menu that includes meals that are healthy, and that I definitely want to try/eat, kid approved, and no I haven’t forgotten…husband approved too…which is really next to near impossible to disappoint my husband when it comes to my cooking. I recently purchased the Daniel Plan cookbook (not to be confused with the Daniel Fast…they’re two totally different plans), which if you haven’t picked yours up yet then get crackin’. Currently, mine looks like it is being held hostage by a sticky-note army as I have tabbed most every single recipe in the cookbook. So I tab this one in particular, that took priority over all recipes in my never ending and always growing queque of recipes to make, and this gluten free venetian style arugula pizza is that recipe. It had my mouth watering with it’s photo. The original recipe calls for honey wheat pizza crust. Now, I am not a gluten-free strict cook but I do like to leave out the gluten on occasion so I substituted gluten free pizza crust mix from Bob’s Mill. If you’re local to wherever shopping is a pleasure…A.K.A. Publix, just know that most of them carry this mix now too. I further adapted the recipe to use Asiago cheese instead of mozzarella…just for variety sake since I’ve made and had Margherita pizza way too many times.

Also, a highly recommend baking this, and any pizza for that matter, on this pizza stone from Pampered Chef. My mother-in-law is always getting me super snazzy kitchen gadgets and this is one of the those that I use the most.
