You could call these “organic brown rice low sodium pesto gouda h’ordeurves,” or simply”GF lunchables.”
I was in Trader Joe’s waiting in what seemed like an endless line– the one that zig-zags through the store since Back Bay’s is the smallest TJ’s in the country.
I spied brown rice cakes.
I never buy theses — but they sounded good.
Maybe I wanted salt.
Nevertheless, the line curves and as I wound through the store I noticed things I don’t usually notice.
Next I spied green cheese while I stood near the cheese section.
I looked closer… pesto gouda? Awesome, I’m in.
I knew right then I was going to make pizza out of it.
The next day, I had a flashback. As I spread out the low sodium organic pasta sauce on the rice cake it took me back to elementary school. Every once in a while if we begged enough, my mom would let my brothers and I eat lunchables. This felt like making one. It took two seconds.
I added cheese and garlic powder only, for the first attempt.
I threw it in the microwave because I was roasting brussel sprouts in the oven and I have zero patience. Either way, heat it how you wish.
I made a second, not pictured, and added sauce, then spinach leaves, then pieces of pulled boiled chicken, then the cheese.
FYI, this cheese has 9 grams of protein.
Enjoy!
