My Healthy Pizzas!

So with the launch of Fitness Babies coming up, eating healthy is suppose to be part of the training! At first I was real strict, one pop, no desserts, lo-cal foods only...well that lasted a short while and then I crashed and wanted sweets, dessert, pop, pizza, and everything I couldn't have! So now I'm in the mindset of replacing foods with healthier options. There's tons of websites out there with recipes, so I started finding healthy recipes and shopping smarter. We'll see if it helps produce some results on the old bod! In the meantime, I'll share the great recipes I find!

This weekend was pizza, I'm a huge pizza fan and a sucker for its advertising! Every time I see a pizza commercial I have to have one. So this time I made my own, it was REALLY good and not nearly as unhealthy! I bought the reduced fat (these have no trans fat) Grands biscuits, and rolled them out into mini pizzas, poked some holes in them with a fork, brushed on some olive oil, popped them in the oven for 7 minutes, and bam! I had 8 mini pizzas to top! Then I took some spaghetti sauce and spread it on the pizzas. Then it was time for toppings; I made several different pizzas: broccoli tomatoes and chicken(this was my fav!), bell peppers and chicken, veggie, etc. anything I could think of I made into a pizza topping and then topped the pizzas off with some reduced fat mozzarella cheese. Back in the oven they went for 8 minutes and then I had a selection of great personal pan pizzas that were WAY healthier than the pizza I was going to order!

These pizzas also work great with kids because they can pick their own toppings (they're more likely to try something new if they made it!) I got a new cookbook the other day, I'll let you know if I find any other great recipes!

  1. This is a great idea! Especially for our 2 year old who is picky about what he eats right now! I have this stuff in the house, so I may try it out tonight! Thanks!
