Pizza Fix

Last night we were craving pizza, but we knew we didn't want to splurge for it. We just hired a personal trainer at the gym we just joined (major $ ouch!!) so we didn't want to spend the money and we didn't want to undo our progress so far with pizza so early in the game.


Once again, thanks to EggFace I was able to find a quick, easy, and super tasty alternative that really satisfied our craving without the guilt or expense!



I didn't follow her recipe so I'm not sure how they will differ, but I did get the idea from her blog so I want to give her due credit.



















Easy Cheesy Pizza (my version)

1 Flat Out flat bread (from Costco)
drizzle of olive oil
2 TBS store bought pizza sauce
1/2 cup cheese


This is kind of the basic pizza "base." The toppings you want are up to you.

















For the photos shown, one is a Hawaiian pizza and one is pepperoni.

















The Hawaiian pizza has:

4 thin slices of low fat deli ham
a little more than 1/8 cup fresh pineapple, diced
a little more than 1/8 cup sliced black olives (just regular canned)

The Pepperoni has:

Turkey Pepperoni

Preheat oven to 350.

Brush a little bit of olive oil on the top of the flat bread and then place directly onto the oven rack and bake for 7 minutes.

Remove and place on a foil lined cookie sheet and add your desired toppings.

Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the amount of toppings and how you prefer your cheese.

Since I am not restricted properly yet (fingers crossed for Friday!!) I can easily eat the full pizza paired with a side salad. However if you are properly restricted, I would guess one pizza would be about 2 meals.

It's VERY good and fun to make. This would be a fun dinner to make with kids to let them "decorate" their pizzas with their toppings. You can also cut the flat bread into shapes for added whimsy :)
