Kitchen Diva said:I'm going to see if DH will take me out for supper. I'm sad because they hired Rachel's replacement today and she was the entire front office's LAST choice.
I'm trying to be positive about it- but I'm too bummed to cook- I do at least know that- and if I'm forced to cook we're having popcorn and fudge for supper!
HA!

Kitchen Diva said:My Mom was famous for this supper...it wasn't until I was older that I learned her salt and sugar craving came from PMS! We only had it a few times a year- but it was fun for us as kids!
ChefBeckyD said:That's so funny - same thing with my mom!
I also learned from her the unique flavor combination of Lays Potato Chips, a Hershey Bar, and a Pepsi for lunch!
Now, we ate very healthy about 90% of the time....except for when Mom HAD to have the choco/salt combo!
Kitchen Diva said:My mother cannot cook and I'd cry whenever she told me she was making either pork chops or lasagna. Mom's lasagna HAD to be served in a bowl- it was that runny and it lacked serious amounts of cheese. And her pork chops were so dry that while cutting one of them into slices I started a fire from the dryness and friction from my knife.
My whole family is full of mediocre cooks my grandmother was a fairly decent one, so the entire family is amazed that I've been blessed with the genes of a future chef!
Pizza can vary in nutritional value depending on the toppings and crust used. However, on average, a slice of cheese pizza contains about 285 calories, 10.8 grams of fat, and 12.4 grams of protein.
Pizza can be a healthy dinner option if you choose healthier toppings such as veggies, lean meats, and whole grain crust. It can also be balanced out with a side of salad to add more nutrients.
You can make your pizza healthier by opting for whole grain crust, choosing lean protein as toppings (such as chicken or turkey), and adding plenty of veggies. You can also reduce the amount of cheese and use a lower-fat cheese option.
While salads can be a great source of nutrients, they may not provide enough to constitute a balanced meal on their own. It's important to have a variety of fruits, vegetables, protein, and whole grains in your meal for a well-rounded and balanced diet.
Yes, you can still enjoy pizza as part of a healthy diet. It's all about moderation and making healthier choices. Look for whole grain crust, load up on veggies, and limit the amount of cheese and processed meats. Pair it with a side of salad for added nutrients.
