Today I actually cooked! Well sorta. Tonight we made pizza! We found a low carb flat bread that has only 5 carbs per flat bread, and it tasted amazing! I used 2 tablespoons of Classico pesto (4 carbs per 1/4 cup= 2 carbs per 2 tablespoons) as my sauce and Jose used Ragu cheesy classic Alfredo sauce (2 carbs per 1/4 cup=1 carb per 2 tablespoons) as his sauce, both low carb especially compared to your ordinary marinara sauce. We bought mozzarella cheese shredded (0 carbs) and piled it on. Then we added our toppings, I added pepperoni (0 carbs)and Jose added some lunch meat ham slices (0 carbs) and left over grilled chicken (0 carbs) from a bbq we had last week. We popped them in the oven at 350° & at 10 minutes the cheese was melted and the edges were crunchy, next time I will bake on a pan with the holes in it to get the whole thing crunchy. The result, a thin crust pizza! You can definitely put a pizza sauce instead of how we did it, just make sure it is on the lower side as far as carbs go.
Here is my 7 carb pizza & Jose's 6 carb pizza! They were BIG, filled us both up!
