I love pizza… with tons of cheese. It’s my Achilles heel! Without a lot of cheese, I find pizza not worth eating. The problem is, cheese can really jack up the calorie count of anything. Especially when you’re not the one making it. It’s scary to consider all the calories in a slice of extra cheese pizza.
For the most part, though, if I’m going to actually enjoy having it, sans any guilt, I go homemade. That way, I can have pizza that is exactly to my liking, in satisfying proportions and still not go overboard on the calories.
Being the chef also allows you to use your favorite ingredients in any dish. Recently I can’t get enough of kale, and eating it in a pizza bagel makes me love it even more. Kale is very versatile and nutritious green leafy vegetable. It is widely recognized as an incredibly nutritious vegetable since ancient Greek and Roman times for its low fat, no cholesterol but health benefiting anti-oxidant properties.
