    i slathered pizza sauce, an ounce of mozarella and some pepperoni on an egg roll wrapper , rolled and baked.. came up with 171 delicious calories... that's 80 less than a slice of pizza.... you can 4 of these as opposed to 3 slices of pizza.. they war yummy
    jer
    ps. this is why i'm loving mfp. getting different ideas. wuhuu
    and yesterday I dropped it to 128 calories by only use one-half ounce of cheese and pepperoni each. no sacrifice on flavor either. wuhuuu

    another great idea thanks :)

    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!

    Take care :flowerforyou:

    I hate to tease you all but since I made fresh sauce last week, I decided to doctor it into pizza sauce... i made the crust this morning and it's baking now.....nice and thick crust. I'm having a treat day with few regrets. hugs all
