Tuesday's Tips: 8

Before you eat, drink a GIANT glass of water! My friend Jenni reminded me of this lovely tip the other day, and I wanted to refresh the memories of others too. If you haven't heard it before, you should give it a try, it does make it easier to watch your portion size. :)

Monday Meals: Homemade Pizza

I love my pizza! It's not bad for you and very tasty. Perhaps you'll like it too!

Prepare your favorite whole-wheat pizza crusts.

To make pizza, top the prepared crusts with pizza sauce and top with your favorite sliced veggies and other toppings. I like mushrooms, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, ham, and lowfat turkey pepperoni. Sprinkle a small amount of cheese over the top and then bake pizzas at 350ºF for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are slightly golden and the cheese has completely melted. (Adjust baking temperature and time as needed, just keep checking your pizza.)

Enjoy!
