Pizza is Yummy

As a poor, 22 year old living in Brooklyn, there are not always a bunch of food options. Sure, I try to buy healthy things, and will continue to improve on it, but sometimes I just crave the food I had in college: pizza.

A friend of mine introduced me to these ready-made personal pizza crusts. They are great, but as I am ridding my kitchen of all processed grains, I cannot buy them again unless I find them in a whole grain option. If you do find some, just make sure that enriched wheat flour or wheat flour isn't in the first three ingredients (that means it has been enriched, i.e. the wheat germ is gone and so is most of the nutrition).

If you find whole grain pizza dough, you can use that too. I like to top it with tomato sauce (no salt added) spinach leaves to get in my dark leafy greens and goat cheese...I am addicted. Put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes and there you go: a healthy, personal sized pizza. Add more veggies on top and other low fat cheeses to increase the nutrition factor.


Of course...after dinner I indulged in the yummy chocolate I brought back from my recent trip to Germany. My logic is that once it's gone I can't eat it any more...I know, not very healthy. Definitely have a piece of fruit for dessert or a side of clear broth veggie soup that's low in sodium to fill you up.

Coming up: my first weekend on the health plan: no high cal drinks (goodbye LITs) and no late-night snacking (goodbye McDonalds fests). I hope you all enjoy the weekends, and don't indulge too much!
