    I've been making these flat-out pizzas lately that TOTALLY take care of my pizza cravings. My toppings come in at around 321 calories, but you can vary it however you'd like. I get a lite sundried tomato Flat Out wrap (I buy them at the ngrocery store, Pulbix), bake at 350 for 7 minutes until a bit toasty. I pile on a bit of tomato sauce (not bunch, maybe 1/4c tops), low fat lunchmeat (chicken is yummy),a ton of veggies, some garlic powder and dried basil flakes. Finally top with 1/4-1/2c fat free mozzarella cheese and bake at 350 for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is somewhat melted (fat free cheese doesn't exactly "melt", but you get the idea. Then I stuff my face with the entire pizza and it's divine!!

    I just made a healthy pizza using Flatout Italian bread, Turkey pepperoni, Ragu pizza sauce and low skim mozzarella cheese. I based the bread with a 1tbl of olive oil, basil and sage seasoning and spread on bread first. You can add mushroom, broccoli, olives, tomatoes and spinach.

    I do a daily cooking blog of just that, healthy recipes. I post the original recipes and any changes that I have made to make it better. My blog is at www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65

    I am cooking Broccoli and Chicken Noodle soup, right now, and it will be going on my blog later this afternoon.

    I made Chicken breast in the crockpot with light terriyaki sauce, lots of fresh garlic, and lime juice and it was YUMMY!! Also I make Turkey Meatballs either by themselves or for wheat Spaghetti that have pureed onion, spinach and carrots in them. They also really good! :) You can make tacos with ground turkey, wheat tortillas and fat free refried beans. For my kids I just mix the meat and the beans and they never know the difference. :)

    I'm going to try making it with Veggie Ground Round for the first time tonight. :smile:

    Look up the Cooking Light Chicken Piccata recipe. It's fairly simple and quick. Capers and lemon flavor give it a "zing" that some kids like. Mix with steamed green beens, asparagus or broccolli to round it out. Used to serve it with risotto w/ mushrooms, but realized that rice (which I love) packed too many calories.

    ps, on the chicken breasts. Don't worry about pounding them flat, just cut horizontally, so you have a thin flat slice. I usually get two to three slices per chicken breast.

    I like making shrimp with a little bit of jar alfredo sauce (Classico is very low calorie)...I do not add the pasta because I am eating low carb
