His vs. Hers

Hello friends! Today I'm talking about PIZZA! I have often discussed the pizza battle with my friends. It seems we are constantly struggling with it because, the men in our lives ALWAYS fall back on pizza. I know that if I put Trevor in charge of dinner, we would have pizza every time. It is one of those foods that can rack up the daily calories in an instant. I don't know many who have the self control to eat just ONE slice.

Here is what I have decided to do for myself...I made a His and Her pizza tonight. Trevor's consisted of the traditional Baboli thin crust. It comes packaged and is usually on an end cap whenever I have found it. I also buy the Baboli pizza sauce. It comes with three packets so it lasts a good while. I buy low-fat shredded mozzarella, pepperoni and jalapenos. We have a huge discrepancy on pizza toppings so it only makes since to make my OWN. I was so tired of trying to tailor my section of the pizza to my liking.

My pizza was as follows: Right next to Trevor's packaged crust, I found the Whole Wheat and much smaller crusts I was looking for. My package comes with two crusts so I froze the extra. Now for the pizza sauce. Traditional pizza sauce is higher in sugar than regular old canned tomato sauce. I know this sounds boring but I jazzed it up with Italian seasoning blend. YUM! Then, here it comes like Jaw's fin skimming the water, the cheese! Our figure's worst enemy. I tend to form a mountain with it on my pizza, however, after calculating the points/guilt, I perfectly measured out a 1/4 of a cup. Now this may sound like nothing for a whole pizza, but my later ingredients will foil the scarcity of cheese. I then proceeded to form a new mountain of all my favorite veggies: an heirloom tomato diced, artichoke diced, baby bella mushrooms and olives! My pizza was overflowing with 0 point goodness. I barely sprinkled the veggies with some good parmesan so they didn't feel lonely. I didn't miss the meat, I didn't miss the sauce nor the overflow of cheese. I could eat and entire half of the pizza for 6 points! I foiled up the rest for lunch tomorrow!

Now, I have one more secret weapon for you to try...it seems so simple but make a loaded salad with a fat free dressing while it bakes. This will fill you up more than you know so that two slices become a little more difficult to eat. Bon Appetit!!!
