About Me

My photo
Like most people, I love to eat. I love to cook. And as of a year ago on Dec. 26th...I love to do it all in a healthy way. I'm living proof that all you have to do is change minor things in your life and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. In one year, I changed how I ate (portion control), what I ate (not a lot of fried food, more veggies, less alcohol and sugars) and added a little exercise in my life (3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes). And at the end I am 52 lbs lighter :) That was 3 years ago… and I've kept the weight off. These recipes have helped me keep it off and are easily adaptable for any and all diets. Just use a little imagination and let your stomach guide you :)

Aloooooha! Pizza

Let the healthy pizza...be eaten!

First, the crust:

2 1/2 c. flour
2 3/4 tsp. baking powder (if using baking soda use half and omit salt)
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. oil
3/4 to 1 c. water
Mix dry ingredients. add 3/4 cup water and oil. Stir until it forms a ball. If dough is stiff, add more water.The dough will be soft, not sticky. Knead on a floured surface for 3-4 minutes.

Add some toppings:

I put a few drops of extra virgin olive oil (the only kind of oil I use) on the crust, then layer it with thinly sliced roma tomatoes. Then I sprinkle oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder all over it. Then I put ham bits and pineapple tid bits and top with cheese. 

I've done this same recipe with pepperoni, chopped onions and peppers, mushrooms, sausage, bacon and margarita style (with tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese). My next adventure with it is stuffed crust :)

Now throw it in the oven at 350 until edges of crust are golden brown...and cheese is ooey gooey melty deliciousness.
