Inspiration
Today was good but nothing really insightful to share. I still didn't feel well this morning so I didn't attempt kickboxing again. I chose a lower impact workout and after a half hour on the bike I felt good as new.
I took a nutrition class in college and learned a lot of things. One of the only things I really remember though are portion control, everything in moderation, and that pizza isn't really that bad for you. Keeping that in mind I set out to make a pizza that wouldn't blow this morning's workout. I had some basil dough and used that for the base. I probably should have chosen a light sauce but I wanted to find a way to make a low calorie version of a chicken alfredo pizza I've been craving. Cravings have been my enemy in the past but I'm dedicated this time so I set out to find a good compromise. The sauce is the hardest part to pull off. Here's what I did:
Alfredo Sauce
8oz fat free cream cheese
2 tbs olive oil
2 tbs milk
1/4 cup gouda cheese
Italian herbs and spices
Start with the oil in a saucepan and add the cream cheese until melted. Add the milk and wisk until well blended. Add the gouda cheese and wisk until melted. Add the spices and wisk. That's it!
I spread the sauce over the stretched out thin dough and covered it with mozzarella cheese. Then I topped the pizza with diced shallots and broccoli that I lightly coated in olive oil and spices before I added them to the pizza. I finished with cut up chicken and baked it at 415 for 25 minutes. It was delicious. Paired with a salad it was a great meal that left me completely satisfied. I should have taken a picture because it was so pretty too... next time.
I finished the new Stephen King book while doing my work out and it was so good that now I'm left a little uninspired. I'm going to go find a new book to listen to while working out. Any recommendations?
