Skinnylicious Veggie Pizza


Ingredients 

~Whole wheat dough or flat outs (I used whole wheat tortilla because that's what I had but I had to use a fork and knife to eat)

~ bell peppers of your choice

~ portobello mushrooms

~turkey sausage or turkey pepperoni 

~low fat skim mozzarella 

~Parmesan cheese

~tomato sauce 

~ olive oil ( optional)

~ Italian spices (I used an Italian blend, oregano and basil)

~red chili flakes


I spread the tomato sauce evenly around the dough of your choice. Leave a 1/2 inch border if you want to brush it with evoo and sprinkle Italian seasoning on the border which will be your crust (I skipped this step). I seasoned the sauce with spices and the topped with about a 1/2 cup skim mozzarella and parm chz. I had sautéed my veggies, turkey sausage and shrooms before hand so the were soft but you can all stir them in a light coating of evoo and season with a dash of salt and pepper and that will help them be softer during baking process. Spread veggies, shrooms and turkey sausage evenly on pizza. Add some chili flakes. I baked on 350 till the cheese was melted. Fresh dough you can cook on 500 till cheese is melted. Yum!!!!

Shrimp Broccoli Slaw Stir Fry

~Shrimp of your preference (I used precooked)
~bag of broccoli slaw

I sautéed the broccoli slaw in a little bit of coconut oil. After it softens some I keep stirring in dashes of low sodium soy sauce (or sub in liquid aminos). I do the same in a separate pan with the shrimp simply because it's easier to portion out shrimp since I pre prep my meals. Season both to your taste (I used Cavender's all purpose Greek seasoning but it's peppery so a little goes a long way!) sauté broccoli slaw to your desired softness or less for more crispness. You can sub chicken instead of shrimp in his recipe. Hope you like it! Comment your results. 

To sub chicken I would start with dicing chicken breast into cubes. Start by sautéing the chicken first with coconut oil and low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos. When chicken is almost done add the broccoli slaw and follow the instructions above. Next time I make it with chicken I will post as a new recipe with pictures. Thanks for commenting. :)

Weight loss journey 10/14/13

Today starts my official weight loss journey! And now the scary part is admitting the 203.2lbs I started at a few days ago!! Yikes!!!!!! 😳 I actually got a head start Thursday. I was inspired by all of the support to start a few days early. I will be sharing my healthy eating recipes along my journey and please feel free to respond with recipes of your own it tweaks to make my recipes better or healthier! Yesterday I started by shopping with Julia for everything I needed. I bought things like quinoa, brown (or omega 3) eggs, yogurt, oj, chicken breast, broccoli, sweet potato, mushrooms, zucchini, fruit, salad mixes, kale, etc. Took everything home and started slicing and dicing. Over the week I will shared the recipes we put together for the week to help me stick to my plan. Wish me luck!!
