I'm So Over My Partner's Toxic Positivity

I love this piece by an anonymous mom because it details so perfectly how sometimes we're fundamentally mismatched with our partners, even love we love them. In it, she writes: "His endless positivity makes me feel like I'm letting him down daily." Oof. Read it and weep.

Yes, Healthy Snack Pizza Exists. Yes, You Should Make It ASAP

For many kids, the hour after getting home from school is the most emotionally precarious time of day. They're physically and emotionally exhausted and haven't eaten in hours. Before you even ask how their science quiz went, serve up this high-protein pizza by FlavCity founder Bobby Parrish to fill their bellies and get them in a better headspace.

The dough uses Greek yogurt for extra protein, which helps make it more satisfying than typical snack foods without changing the taste. To kids, it's just pizza. To parents, it's a secret win.

Get the recipe below, and use this link to score 20% off of delicious protein smoothie powders, functional beverages, and no-junk vitamins on FlavCity — but hurry, the discount expires on February 15!

High-Protein Pizza

Ingredients

Self-Rising Flour

  • 1½ cups flour
  • 2¼ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Pizza Dough

  • 1 cup "self-rising flour" blend
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Toppings

  • Marinara sauce
  • 8 oz mozzarella cheese
  • Oregano
  • Salt
  • Fresh basil (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone inside. Prepare the self-rising flour. Add 1 cup of it to a stand mixer with the Greek yogurt. Mix on medium speed, increasing to high until combined. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough forms a ball and no longer sticks.

Divide dough in half and roll each portion into a crust. Top with marinara, 4 oz mozzarella, oregano, and salt. Bake one pizza at a time for about 10 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is melted. Garnish with basil (optional).
