Skinny Pizza Potato Skins

September 29, 2014 Amanda Plott

I gotta admit, my lunch today was pretty amazing. As you can see.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... potatoes always seem to get a bad reputation. Maybe it's because the vast majority of people that eat them always go for the greasy fried versions of potatoes. But, honestly there's a lot of good packed into these things!

Potatoes are a good source of B6, potassium, vitamin C, and fiber! Oh, and did you know that they are actually fairly low in calories? A whole spud is about 160 calorie on average, not too shabby.

Plus, they're filling enough to keep you satisfied and energized to get through your day, which is something that I desperately need today!...

Greek Pita 'Pizza'

August 1, 2014 Amanda Plott

This is one of those stupid-easy and crazy-good sort of recipes. The kind of thing that you throw together on some lazy end-of-the-week night and then think... "Oh, man! I'm brilliant! This is amazing!"

I was seriously not looking forward to cooking today. I've been in a tremendous amount of pain with my neck and shoulders since I cracked my eyes open this morning. ...It's the type of pain that is nearly blinding. It creeps up into my eye sockets and even makes my ears hurt! I've been in so much pain, that it's been a challenge to even consider food without getting blatantly nauseous.

So, needless to say... once I got some of the pain (and nausea) behind me, this was the perfect dinner for me tonight...

Healthified 'Bagel Bites' Pizza

March 29, 2014 Amanda Plott

I love pizza.

I will seriously almost eat it in any way, shape, or form. I am totally unbiased and nondiscriminatory against nearly every pizza. Unless of course it has seafood or some off the wall topping on it.

When I was younger (high school years and below), I could have put away my weight in Pizza Pockets, Pizza Rolls, or Bagel Bites. Seriously. These days I like to think that I'm a little older and a lot wiser...

Skinny Apple & Gorgonzola Pizza

We love pizza around here. Seriously it's a staple in our meal plan. I think we have it about once a week in this house. At least. I'd love to blame that on my little girl, but what can I say? I love pizza too. Always have, and always will.

While she is a traditionalist, sticking to her cheese pizza with extra sauce for dipping... I like to experiment and try out new things on mine. Some things work. Others flop...

Thick & Hearty Pizza Sauce

December 21, 2013 Amanda Plott

Mm... this sauce is thick, rich, and very hearty with bold pieces of sautéed onion and garlic littered through it. It's absolutely perfect for dipping, but would be just as amazing atop some 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough, or in any other place that you would use a typical pizza sauce...

3 Ingredient Pizza Dough

Alright, so... this could really be '2 Ingredient Pizza Dough', but I'm a little more adventurous than the average person and added in seasoning...
