Best Healthy Pizza Ever!

I invented this one myself, and it is amazing!

1 Whole wheat pita
3 0z Part-skim mozzarella cheese
6 to 8 green olives (the good ones from the olive bar are best - like Sicilian spiced)
1/2 cup finely shredded spinach
1 can pizza sauce

Pre-heat the oven to 350. I find that a pie tin works best, but a cookie sheet should work just fine, too. Generously cover the pita with the pizza sauce, olives, spinach, and mozzarella cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted (about 10 minutes).

For an even better pizza, use no-salt added tomato sauce seasoned with red pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, olive oil, and oregano to taste.

High fiber, high nutrients, high good fats, and reasonable calories!

Healthy Chili

This is pretty good!

1 can pinto beans (drained)
1 28oz plus 1 14oz can of diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 heaping tsp. fajita spice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Saute onions in some oil until translucent and lightly browned, about 5 min. Add ground hamburger and saute for about 8-10 min. Add red pepper and zucchini and cook for 5 min. Add corn, beans, tomatoes, water, and brown sugar. stir well. Add fajita spice, cumin, cayenne and cinnamon, stir well. Reduce heat to low; partially cover and simmer for 20-25 min or until thick and soupy. Cook longer if you like your veggies softer. If desired, sprinkle with a little cheddar cheese and fresh cilantro before serving.

*Use more or less water for desired consistency. Reduce cayenne pepper for a milder chili.
** I cut the recipe in half for Steve and I and there was still plenty left over for my lunch the next day.
