Pizza!

[nuthatch]

I have a teenage vegetarian in the house, so we feature some non-meat menus each week:

Hummus & pitas
Pinto beans and cornbread
Both vegetarian and lowfat!

Make sure your pizza crust is whole wheat - the fiber is so good for your cholesterol and it takes more work for your body to get nutrition out of it. Make your pizza a gourmet style with fresh tomatoes and feta or goat cheese (if your kids will tolerate it). You use less cheese that way.

Pizza dough is easy to make, especially the non-yeast versions and using whole wheat flour works great. Like someone else said, it's the toppings that cause all the ruckus. There are some great ideas here, thanks for starting this thread!


Mmmmmmmmmmm, pizza. I know what I'm making for dinner tonight!

I've gotten into making home-made pizza a lot after my husband and I found ourselves pigging out on Pizza Hut every week (a quick way to put on pounds). I use Betty Crocker pizza crust, just add water. It's really easy. Then I top with a lot of pizza sauce. I get the store brand, it has a lot of flavor and its cheaper. And then I top with veggies and add just a little mozza cheese (if any). If I want to add meat, I'll griill a chicken breast and have that with spinache.

For a small pizza lunch try cutting a plain English Muffin in half and topping with your favourite things and then place under the griller. Yummy on a cold day and super easy.

I use the low carb tortilla wraps for the pizza crust then put whatever I want on top. Bake for 15 min or so, just make sure the "crust" doesn't burn around the edges.

I like Applebee's veggie patch pizzas, so I too used to use tortilla shells, sometimes a bit of alfredo sauce spread thinly across it and then put veggies and some mozzarella on it. The problem... sometimes too many veggies for the shell to support.
