Hi Guys. One of my HUGE cravings is pizza :love: I know nothing can replace pizza but I thought I'd share my super easy, yummy low cal way of curbing my craving.

Dempter's BodyWise Tortillas are only 80 calories each.

Add pizza sauce and veggies. I used walmart brand pizza sauce (seemed to have less calories) and mushrooms and green peppers. Obviously if you add meat/chicken the calories will go up. I was thinking of trying out turkey pepperettes one of these days. Might be a nice low(er) cal substitute for pepperoni (plus theyre nice and quesadilla sized).

Add cheese and put in pan with 1/2 second spray of olive oil. I used Kraft TexMex cheese. It looks like a lot more than there is cuz its on top of the veggies. Maybe 1/4 to 1/6 cup. More cheeze = more calories. Plus it's harder to close with more stuff in there.

Let the cheese warm up a bit and fold over the tortilla so it sticks shut. (Awesome spatula is optional but highly recommended).

wait a couple mins and flip to warm the other side of the tortilla.

Consume with much merriment!

Hope this helps someone with their cravings. Or at least gives ya guys a yummy choice.
Take care :flowerforyou:

(ps. I love friends)

    In the time it took to warm my oven to 425f, I rolled up 28 lean turkey meatballs with italian seasoning into 1.4 oz balls. They melt down to an easy count 1oz. Now all I have to do is put 3-5 in a bowl, cover with spagetti sause, 1oz part skim mozzarella and nuke for 45 seconds. Beats my spagetti and pizza craving in a tangy mouth watering way. Only 235-320 cals

    Sometimes I go a bit carby and put 1/2 a multigrain muffin on the bottom for 50 more cals.
