How do you pizza?

I have been going crazy with creating new "pizzas". Just wanted to share with you that it is totally possible to enjoy a version of pizza AND still be healthy and possibly loose a few pounds. I didn't bother to calculate all the calories precisely (because really? I have better things to do...well...not really. But still.) I try to keep the calories under an obscene amount, but I don't get all psycho with it. But, for those of you Type A personalities out there...enjoy the following...

on most of the pizzas I created, they included the following "staples":
1 sandwich thin (100 calories)
1/3 cup of 2% reduced fat cheese (around 60-70 calories)
1/4 cup of pizza sauce (around 40 calories)

My first healthy pizza creation: Hawaiian Pizza


Sandwich Thins
Pizza Sauce
Fresh mushrooms
Pineapple tidbits
Canadian bacon
2% milk mozzarella cheese







Looks good huh? (Well...it tasted good) 

Here's a quick recipe:
1. Saute chopped mushrooms and Canadian bacon in skillet 
2. Toast the sandwich thin in toaster or on broil
3. Add pizza sauce, then cheese, then sauteed 'shrooms and bacon, then top with pineapple
4. Bake for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted









Awesome pizza creation #2: Buffalo Chicken Pizza


Neely's Honey Kissed BBQ Sauce (Soooo good!)
2% cheddar cheese mix
Red onion
Chicken breast
Sandwich thin
*No pizza sauce. The BBQ is the sub for pizza sauce*











The finished product. I added a salad and veggies to up the health factor. 

Quick recipe:
1. Grill or boil 2 chicken breast tenderloins (skinless). Add bbq sauce and saute in a skillet with sliced red onions until onions are tender.
2. Toast sandwich thins in oven or broil.
3. Add bbq sauce to sandwich thin. Layer on mozzarella cheese, then chicken and onion. 
4. Bake around 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
