Healthy Homemade Pizza with First Lady Fran DeWine
“I have always loved to cook and I love to encourage and teach others to cook and share recipes as well. I especially enjoy cooking with my grandkids.”
Ingredients
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup hot water
*You can substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for white flour
Directions
Pulse flour and salt in Cuisinart a few times. Dissolve tablespoon of yeast into the 1/2 cup of warm water. Add all of the ingredients to flour mixture in food processor and turn on for 10-15 second until dough forms a ball and scrapes the sides of bowl. Let dough rise in greased bowl for one hour. If you don’t have an hour, it’s ok to go ahead and use the dough. The kids can each shape their own pizza on a piece of foil and add their own toppings and bake. Place pizzas on cookie sheet and approximately 12 minutes at 465 degrees. Adjust bake time to size and thickness of pizza.

Slow Cooker Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Soup
Ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup diced yellow onion
2 cloves of garlic, grated
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder, green chile powder if you can find it
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste
8 ounces diced green chiles
2 cups green enchilada sauce
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed & drained
1 cup frozen corn, defrosted
4 ounces lowfat cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2% or full fat may also be used
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro & lime wedges for serving
Instructions
Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for 3 minutes then add in the grated garlic and sauté another minute. Add them into to the slow cooker.
Add the ingredients through the cannellini beans into the slow cooker, stir, cover with the lid and set on low for approximately 6 hours, medium for 4 hours or high for 3 hours.
When the time is up remove the chicken breasts and let them cool for several minutes before shredding. Add the corn into the slow cooker.
While the chicken cools, whisk together the cream cheese and yogurt in a medium sized bowl until combined. Ladle some of the broth into the bowl and whisk until the yogurt/cream cheese mixture warms and thins out. Essentially what you are doing is tempering it so it doesn’t curdle when added into the slow cooker.
Once the yogurt/cream cheese mixture is warm, pour it into the slow cooker and whisk everything together.
Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir everything together. Serve immediately topped with cheese, cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
