If your looking to eat healthy or find a great recipe if your concerned about your weight this is the recipe. I had to get creative a while ago, with healthy meal ideas. I was like a lot of Americans, I had fallen into the obese category. This is also normal for a lot of women after pregnancy. You gain a little bit of weight, some of us can shed the pounds after birth. By the time the second or third pregnancy rolls around, your tired, busy and not focusing on yourself as much as your children. That is my story. Last year, I tried the Weight Watchers system. It worked wonders for me I lost over 45 pounds. Did this happen overnight? No, it did not. This article is not about weight loss, but about eating healthy and looking for easy healthy recipes.
This is my own pizza recipe, which was inspired by learning how to eat healthy. This is very simple. Total preparation to cook time is about 20 minutes.
Ingredients:
12" Round Whole Wheat Tortilla or Burrito Wraps. (Generally, Whole Wheat, Low-Carb. You can find these for under 100 calories. Also look for High Fiber between 4 to 6 grams)
2 Tablespoons of Tomato Sauce ( You can use any kind, Ragu, Hunts, etc.)
1/4 Cup of Low Fat Mozzarella Cheese. (I prefer Low Fat vs Fat Free, in regards to flavor)
Spices/Seasons of Your Choice: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Basil, Italian Season, Sage, which ever you prefer to season the sauce)
Toppings: Green or Red Pepper, Fresh Tomato, Onion, or any other Veggie Topping.
The reason, I do not list Pepperoni or Sausage is because those are generally fattening.
First thing you want to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Place your wheat wrap on a cookie sheet. Next add tomato sauce, and your choice of seasonings. Now you sprinkle only a 1/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Lastly, add your healthy toppings. Bake about 10 minutes, until cheese is lightly golden brown.
This is not only a very filling pizza, but is so delicious too. You can tweak this recipe to be your own, however you like. This entire pizza is probably around 120-160 calories, depending on your ingredients.

Bottom line is you can't have fast food and take out every night. For more ideas and resources, try checking out the same ebooks I downloaded. I paid $20 for 20 books, can't beat it.
