Diet Pizza Recipe

Pin It
Last year my football post was all about 
PIZZA on the Grill and this year....
It's diet pizza.... What a difference
 a year makes????
HERE's the Grilled Pizza post too !

Below is "All About ME" update 

Diet Pizza This is a REALLY good one 
and easy to make, I had to find something, because I was missing pizza so much.


Diet pizza Recipe


The SECRET is Corn Tortillas(one shell 100 calories)
Diet pizza Recipe

Place the Tortillas under the broiler and they will get a bit crispy, some will bubble up, that's OK, pop the bubble and I like them just crisp NOT brown, turn and do the other side too. 
Diet pizza Recipe

Add what ever you like, I'm a bit of:
Pizza Sauce (just cover shell)
Spinach
Onions
Olives
Pepperoni
Skim-low fat Mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup 80 calories)
I added a pit more, I needed dairy this day

Diet pizza Recipe
Toppings on Husbands

Flour shells will work too (110 calories per shell)


Bake at 350 (F) for 10- 15 minutes
Cut and serve, One-two pizza's per person
I know the cheese, but......

I eat one pizza and green salad ! 
(pizza about 310 calories)
VERY GOOD

Calorie counts are from the packages/products that I used, 
check your ingredients for calorie numbers

Change Life Up ? ? ! !

Pin It
Everything is a process 
and we are processing

Over the past few months there has been an ongoing discussion at our home about Husband retiring. We have decided to go for it. Really, I decided about 3 years ago, but it took him a bit !  So, the process has started, we....are cleaning out a lot of things here, it's me cleaning out ! 

It’s funny, as we did the walk and you know the walk, you walk through your own home trying to see things as others will to put the Nebraska house on the market. The house is great, it’s the stuff, Yes, it’s mostly mine and it has to go !  I knew that before the walk…….

I’ve been working on pictures for about a year, moving them to digital, cleaning out clothes and making decisions about some very old memories. Believe it or not, I was a ballet dancer for a VERY long time and finding my toe shoes….took me over the edge a bit and was the first time I had a moment. The process has been very freeing. I have shipped off boxes to both my siblings, for them and their children, our boys have their things and Husband has let go of these ?? They are a whole story….for much later, 2 deer heads, jack-o-lope and a turkey ! GONE, I think the fish are going (moving) ?? (I will not comment, I will not comment)



What has been really funny to me is that there are just some things I have to throw away. No one can have them, I know some of you cringe at that thought, but until you do this, you won’t understand, it’s been hard, but again good.

So, from time to time I will be sharing what I’ve found, what I'm keeping, what is donated and what will have to be moved. I’m afraid there will be a lot going. Just wait until I start on that sewing room……It's all going......to move???

NOTHING will change with The Quilt Ladies, they are me and I am them, they will be on the truck or  in the trailer and always right here at www.thequiltladies.com
