Wheat Pizza with Chicken
Believe it or not, this is a recipe for healthy pizza. It tastes great and still has tons of cheese on it. Unlike most reduced fat cheese, the one I selected for this recipe actually has a lot of flavor. This pizza is made in the traditional margherita style, with tomatos slices, basel, and cheese. I recommend using dried seasonings to help absorb some of the liquid created from the tomatos and ricotta cheese.
For those who are inexperienced at stretching pizza dough this one might be a little tricky. Using a rolling pin to form pizza is NOT how you do it. I include basic instructions below but it does take some practice to get it right.
Bean and Shrimp Tomato Soup
This recipe is easy to make, tastes great, and is good for you just like everything else I make 
It is a bit costly due to the shrimp and the number of other ingredients. If you don’t like shrimp you can substitute chicken. However, the shrimp complements the bean flavor very well. If you want to cut down on the cost you can do 50/50 chicken/shrimp.
Note: I only list brand names because that’s what I used. Other brands are fine, but the nutrition information may be off slightly.
Ingredients
- 28oz can Hunt’s Whole Tomatoes
Healthy Chicken Chili with cornbread
Here’s a recipe for chicken chili that I’ve developed. The resulting chili is very healthy (protein, carbs, and fat well balanced) and tastes great.
Ingredients
1.5 lb fresh chicken breast
28 oz can of crushed tomatos
15.25 oz can of Golden Sweet corn
16 oz can of Bush’s Chili Beans in hot sauce
1 bag Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit (or season to your own liking, this just makes it faster and easier)
5 Jalapeno Peppers
3 Habanero Pepper (if you like your chili mild reduce to 1 or remove all)
1 Publano Pepper
1 Med to large white onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup malt vinegar
Cheapest 40oz malt beverage you can find, typically Old English or Magnum 40.
Wheat Oatmeal Crepes with Apples
This is a simple variation of the oatmeal omelet recipe I posted exactly a month ago.
Today I decided to see how they would turn out if I substituted 1/4 cup whole wheat flour for 1/4 cup of oatmeal. I figured they would turn out pancake or crepe like and they did. Prepare the same as the omelets. The only difference is the skillet must be hotter, to the point of boiling a drop of water on contact.
Mmmm, healthy omelets
Being the creative guy I am I occationally come up with recipes that are quite tasty. I’ve decided to share some with the world. Most will be quite healthy since they are geared to fit into my diet. I will also include nutrition information when possible.
This first recipe is a modification of one taken from Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle. I created it from scratch but used the idea out of the book. The oatmeal and apples hide most of the egg taste. The sweetness of the apples actually makes them taste more like pancakes! I eat these daily.
