Pizza!

Peppers, onions, mushrooms, and squash and only 186 calories a slice

Who doesn't love pizza? I know I love it. How can you go wrong with cheese and bread? There's no way. I used to order out for pizza, but that stuff is just way too greasy for my poor stomach, so I started making my own. For the longest time I just bought those pre-made pizza crusts until I realized that it's actually not that hard to make the crust from scratch. The great thing about this crust recipe is that it actually tastes better if you let the dough sit in the fridge overnight, so if I know I've got a busy day coming up, I just mix up a batch of pizza dough the night before. I also HIGHLY recommend investing in a pizza stone if you end up being a pizza junkie like me. It makes perfectly crispy crust every time. And the beautiful thing about homemade pizza is you have complete control over what goes into it and on it!

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Yields enough dough for one 10-12" pizza and 1/8 of it is 107 calories

3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
3/4 cup 100% whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon sugar or honey
1 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Whisk together the flours and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
2. In a large measuring cup combine the water and sugar (or honey). Stir in the yeast.
3. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the water mixture. Stir just until a rough dough is formed. Do no overmix or your crust will be tough. Work in the last of the flour with your hands.
4. Pour the olive oil over the dough and make sure you  roll the dough in the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it someplace warm. Allow the dough to sit for 30 minutes, then refrigerate. If you need to use your dough right away, allow it to rise for an hour and skip the refrigeration.
5. One hour before you plan to eat, place your pizza stone in your oven and turn it on to 425F. 
6. Take the dough out of the fridge and turn it out onto a circle of parchment paper cut to the size of pizza you want covered with a handful of corn meal. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it sit for 15 minutes.
7. Sprinkle the dough with a little bit of flour to keep it from sticking and roll it out to the size you want with a rolling pin. Cover it and let it rise for 45 minutes.
8. Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
