I usually try not to eat with my emotions but man, food was a welcome distraction from the craziness of this 'historic' election. I couldn't help but stress eat a few TJ's dark chocolate peanut butter cups last night as the votes poured in.

We know that we should eat when we're hungry and not because we're stressed/happy/sad, so it's easy to beat ourselves up over an emotional eating session. Last night was a little reminder that all of us humans eat for emotional reasons from time to time. All of us.

So, no, we aren't failures for dipping into the halloween candy stash a little too hard last night.

The most important part of emotional eating is letting go and moving on afterward. I accept how those little chocolate cups served me and now I'm ready to fill up on something veggie-packed and with all the good stuff.

But...I wouldn't exactly say that I'm feeling energized enough to put together anything too complicated.

So, vegan naan pizzas to the rescue.

This semi-homemade meal is a new favorite around here. Just spread some sauce on a piece of whole grain flatbread, add sautéed vegetables, nutritional yeast (or parmesan), and spices. 10 minutes in the oven and out comes the most comforting and delicious weeknight meal ever.

  3. This pizza looks incredible and so easy for a weeknight meal. I really want to try it except that naan often isn't vegan - the one you used has milk in it 🙁 I have yet to find store bought naan that is vegan, but if anyone finds one I would LOVE to know so I can make this!

    1. Thank you so much for pointing this out, Rose! I changed the wording from 'plant-based' to 'vegan' at the last minute to help people find it in Google but totally forgot to double check the naan - doh! Updating now and lesson learned! Unfortunately, I don't have a good recommendation for vegan store-bought naan but here's a recipe to try homemade: http://www.veganricha.com/2011/12/naan-plain-garlic-stuffed-and-more.html Thanks again for looking out! 🙂
