Try this next time you are making pizzas :)

okay so we all love pizza and especially home made ones but sometimes we want a light pizza without the heavy base. I suggest an alternative, a zucchini crusted pizza base. Here is the recipe: 2 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 pinch basil or 1 pinch marjoram or 1 pinch rosemary (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil
YUM! great way to cut down carbs

Blotting your pizza

When eating pizza I have found that taking clean paper napkins and gently blotting the top of your pizza will wick up a fair amount of oils . The last time I had pizza at our favorite place I used 3 napkins on an 8 inch square pizza. I figure any oil I take off the top of my pizza is that much less oil that I am not taking in.

Pizza and saturated fat

Just one slice of plain pizza has 10 grams of fat and 4.4 grams of saturated fat (so bad for your heart) Stick to 1 slice if you really must have pizza and make sure it's thin crust and eat pizza only rarely. Instead make Eggplant pizza
