For Pizza lovers

  • Here in New England, we're lucky to get some yummy pitas and wraps by a comany called Joseph's. Their Joseph's Flax, Oatbran, Whole Wheat Flour Lavash Bread is a staple in our diet- one sheet of it is 100 calories.

    Last night, I decided to try and make pizza with it, as I was hunkering for it. This is what I used:

    1 sheet Lavash bread- they are 10 inches by 9 inches- big pizza all for you
    1/4 cup Prego Three Cheese Spaghetti sauce
    1/2 cup Reduced Mozzarella cheese
    2 cups of mushrooms, cooked in onion powder with a couple of sprays of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray

    I baked it in a 375 degree oven for 8 minutes, and it was absolutely delicious and FILLING! All for 320 calories, just under my 400 calories that I allot myself for each meal. If you just have cheese pizza only, it's 285 calories per pizza.

    Tonight, I am going to try it with a slice and a half of Oscar Mayer 98% Fat Free Smoke Ham and one pineapple ring, crushed for an additonal 15 calories more than the 2 cups of mushrooms! I love Hawaiin pizza, so I am looking forward to dinner tonight. That will total to 380 calories tonight, and I plan on having some sugar snap peas on the side for an additional veggie (I just love those snap peas raw- I could eat a whole bag of them in one sitting, if I let myself ).

    Just thought I'd share with you all.

    Edited because my math stunk today. It's even lower than what I originally posted- woohoo!!!
  • Just wanted to tell you that this my new favorite pizza too. We use whole wheat pitas; they are about 8-9" circles for 100 cals. We put tomato sauce or PASTE with a little garlic & onion powder & oregano; plus skim milk mozzarella, olives, and diced turkey pepparoni (s). WE JUST LOVE THEM! We bake them at 400F for about 10 minutes (I like mine crispy; soft for DH who folds his to eat it).

    Put any of your favorite toppings (I like mushrooms sometimes too). Now you can have pizza for such a small amount of calories, and save on the bread servings at the same time. We were surprised just how much we love these!

    I also sometimes make PIZZA OMELETTES by adding sliced turkey pepparoni and/or mushrooms to 2 x eggs to make an omelette; serving with bit of ketchup or tomato salsa. These have even less calories cuz there's no bread unless you add a small piece of garlic toast (optional) ~ ROSEBUD
