I will be the first to admit I am not a food photographer! This is my dinner from the other night, pizza, approximately 360 calories of yum. With a few changes in ingredients I am thinking I can get it down to about 300. I’ve started to skip the pepperoni to see if I miss it and the answer is no. I added a bit more cheese instead and I’ve really happy with the taste.
For our anniversary last month I got a food processor. Before you think, oh, how unromantic, that was actually high on my list of things I would have wanted to receive, much more than flowers! A really good iron would have also been acceptable since I want something with heavy steam for my sewing. Anyway, the food processor… I am still getting used to it. I prepped green peppers and fed them through. As I did I thought, hmmm, that looks odd, very watery. When I popped the top is when I realized I had the blade shred side up not slice. Green peppers are not supposed to be shredded… So if you wonder why the pizza toppings look a little odd, that is why, shredded peppers.
In other food related news, I bought a food scale. Aldi’s had them on sale this week so I picked one up for $10. It works well enough for me at this point though it is a bit slow to react and I question its complete accuracy. However, it has been eye opening, as everything I read online said it would be! My normal pouring in of the creamer to my coffee? About 25% more than I thought I was using. Only about 10 calories so no biggie but now I am more accurate as I put the mug on the scale and pour it in. Shredded cheese for my pizza? I actually got a bit more than I had been using.
I wanted pizza tonight but my husband has his heart set on chicken and stuffing… so the house should smell like roasted chicken when I get home from work tonight.
And now, time to go walk!
