Okay, so I found this recipe in my fitness magazine(March2011) and I am going out tonite to get the stuff to make it. Looks great. http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/recipes/quick-recipes/dinner/healthy-takeout-recipes/

1      15oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1      cup thawed frozen corn kernals
4       plum tomatoes, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
1/2    cup chopped scallions
1       tsp. ground cumin
1       tsp. chili powder
/1       avocado, diced into 1/4 pieces

1/2    tsp salt

1/4    tsp black pepper

16    oz pizza dough, regular or whole wheat

1      cup finely shredded reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese

1.  Preheat oven to 450 and place an empty baking sheet on the middle rack

2. In a medium bowl , combine the black beans, corn, tomatoes, scallions, avacado, salt and black pepper,
    aside.

3. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into 13inch circle. Transfer to warmed baking sheet and crimp the edges slightly to form a lip at the edge of the crust.  Top with black bean mixture, sprinkle with the cheese and bake 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut into 8 slices and serve.

Tuna Fish Pita

Okay, so I really don't have all the ugly nutrition information for this but I have to tell you that tuna fish sandwiches have been my fall back meal lately. I thought I would share how I make it.

can a tuna fish
fat free miracle whip
diced up onion
diced up apple 
diced up sundried tomato (just cuz I had them in the frig forever for another recipe that I never made  lol)
sliced fresh tomato
 I used whole wheat pita bread (MY NEW FAV!!!) after opening pita pocket  up I laid inside two to three slices of tomato and then scooped some tuna fish inside... OMG!! I love the simplicity of it. Light, refreshing and filling.

Til next time..
