This lunch-sized personal pizza is made using Joseph’s Pita Bread. The inspiration for this came from a recipe posted by My Bizzy Kitchen, except she used her skinny pizza dough to make it. I adapted the recipe she posted just a bit to create a lunch-sized pizza that was quick, easy, and fit my allotted point budget for lunch perfectly. I make this in under 15-minutes and have a hearty salad alongside for a perfect lunch.
Jalapeno Popper Pita Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 Joseph's Pita Bread
- 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light Spreadable Cheese (I used the smoky bacon flavor)
- 1 tbsp whipped cream cheese
- 1 tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt (I used Fage)
- Pinch *Farm Dust Seasoning
- Pinch garlic powder
- 2 tbsp jalapeno peppers, sliced (optional)
- 20 g reduced-fat sharp cheddar, shredded (I used Cracker Barrel 2%)
- 1 tsp real bacon bits (I used Hormel™)
Instructions
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 450°
- Mix the laughing cow cheese, yogurt, and cream cheese together and spread the mixture onto the pita.
- Top with jalapenos, bacon bits, and the shredded cheese.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted. I like my cheese just starting to brown, so be sure to keep an eye on it.

The seasons in our lives serve us in many different ways--but very few had more of an impact on the trajectory of my life than my time in the United States Navy.
To serve was truly an honor, but for me, the experience of serving was a gift that helped shape the rest of my life.
So, to all who have served, and all who continue to make the choice to serve; thank you for your service.
Happy Veteran`s Day!

Yesterday, I had wilty veggies in the produce drawer, leftover rotisserie chicken, and some frozen mini wontons; I turned it into lunch.
I did not follow a recipe, I used what I had, and mostly measured with my heart. But here`s what I do know:
3 (hearty) servings
3 WW points
24 mini wonton (got at Costco)
6 oz cooked chicken breast
4 c chicken broth
veggies (I used green beans, and boy choy, green & red pepper, jalapeno pepper)
about 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
about 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos
Garlic powder
Sriracha Sauce
Dried soup greens
PS. I know to most of you it`s just a recipe for soup, but there was a lesson in it for me; start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can!
Have an awesome day!

"If you do not change direction, you might end up where you are heading." -Lao Tzu
Change is hard. I get that it`s unavoidable—but still, for me, it`s hard.
I like things the way they are. I like my routines, the way I take my coffee, and my side of the bed. I don`t want different; I want familiar and comfortable. Can you relate?
But here`s the thing, comfort is usually in direct opposition to growth. In order to grow, change is a necessity. Transformation starts with a change in thinking.
How we think spills into how we act, and even how we identify ourselves. As challenging as it is, I am continuing to learn to embrace change, not just in my actions--but also in how I think.
So, here`s to thinking differently, acting boldly, and becoming the best version of ourselves.
Change might be tough, but it`s where your personal journey of transformation will truly begin.

#Saturdaysnack idea.
This is one from way back. Quick, easy and super delicious!
Crispy Fried Parmesan Zucchini served with my almost famous Mama Mia Marinara. (OR use your favorite marina sauce!)
Here`s how to make it.
1/2 small zucchini sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
9g Extra Crispy Shake `n Bake
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp farm dust
Avocado Oil cooking Spray
Slice zucchini into rounds, add farm dust (or salt) to beaten egg. Mix Shake `n Bake and cheese. Dip zucchini rounds into egg then coat with the Shake `n Bake mixture. Give a nice, healthy spritz of avocado oil cooking spray and air fry for 11 minutes at 390, flipping once halfway through. #notadiet #eatgreatloseweight #bigfatskinnysnacks #weightwatchers #wwcommunity

Our mistakes are not what define our journey; it`s the grace from which we recover from them that matters.
Throughout this journey I`ve faced my share of ups and downs. Losing 115+ lbs, and then gaining 40+ back, resulted in me feeling pretty darn sorry for myself.
But here`s the thing, I can`t make my mistakes the definition of my journey; I need an attitude adjustment!
Your attitude is your vantage point in life. It can either be your launching pad for growth or the anchor holding you back.
So I am choosing to see each challenge as an opportunity for growth, and every single setback as a chance to learn and become stronger. It`s all about perspective.
Today, muster up the grace to recover, and march forward with your head held high--and know that you can do this.

After I posted on Saturday, a friend suggested that I was being too hard on myself, and that I should take another look at where I was when I started and where I am today to remind myself how far I`ve come--despite gaining some weight back.
I did just that, and it helped me realize that the idea of "starting at square one" after we experience a setback is a big lie.
In fact, I don`t think we are ever really "right back where we started," rather, we are at a new beginning--usually with an army of valuable information gained from the mistakes we`ve made.
I guess what I`m trying to say is, embrace your setbacks, they are the fuel for your journey forward.
