Sunday football is much less exciting without snacks. And this past Sunday, I was craving a savory snack that wouldn’t require too much effort. I’d had some leftover pizza ingredients from a pizza I had made earlier in the week, but I didn’t have any dough. I did, however, have some of those delicious Pillsbury crescent rolls (the most exciting part is popping the can, … Continue reading Savory Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls
Pizza is amazing, but sometimes, I need to tone it down with the carb-filled crust. (I’m sure by now you’re all aware of my macaroni and cheese obsession.) I’ve seen veggies be used for pizza dough the past—especially cauliflower—and I caught wind of eggplant slices being used for mini pizzas. I loved the idea, so I went for it. I decided to bread the eggplant … Continue reading Eggplant Pizzas
Ordering takeout can wreak havoc on your healthy eating — but it doesn’t have to. No matter what type of food you’re ordering, there is always something reasonably healthy on the menu, and it doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor.

A high, high step above Pizza Hut (no offense, Pizza Hut). My boss went to Culinary Institute of America, and it was from watching these pizzas made every day that … Continue reading Spicy Soppressata Pizza
I’ll start with this: I love pizza. When I have a pizza craving, I satisfy it. Last night’s menu was fresh spinach and artichoke pizza on whole wheat dough (I’ve been on a health kick lately). I can’t stress enough that the flavor of whole wheat dough is astoundingly similar to regular dough, making it a great alternative to the starchy, carb-filled white dough we … Continue reading spinach and artichoke pizza
It’s unclear exactly when “buffalo” became the flavor of the century, but it’s apparent that restaurants, grocery stores and food brands all over have jumped on the buffalo bandwagon. There’s nothing like that first bite of savory buffalo chicken pizza, fresh from the oven of your favorite pizza place, and while there is no harm in indulging, sometimes choosing a healthier option means a recipe … Continue reading swap buffalo chicken pizza for whole wheat buffalo chicken and cauliflower pizza
simply delicious.
