Pizza Toast!

I am excited to share the amazing news of pizza toast!

Well this is actually the new and improved pizza toast. Any one who knows me knows that I enjoy indulging in pizza frequently. I always thought I was doing myself a favor by constructing my own "pizza toasts" that I assumed were lighter and healthier. These consisted of pizza ingredients such as pepperoni, mozzarella, sometimes tomatoes and onions piled high upon some type of bread product. I wasn't picky, it could be bread, tortilla, pita, leftover biscuits, rolls etc. And since there is little nutrition in each I could easily eat two or three of these pieces of "toast" and I would dunk them in some type of delicious pizza sauce. I have been on a hunt to find an actual healthier way to make this and also to not make it more than once a week :). I believe I have found a good alternative: Tofurkyroni Vegan Pizza toast! I used a sprouted grain tortilla, vegan cheese and tofurky pepperoni. I was nervous to try it but it is pizza in some form and I love pizza in all forms so I ate it and it was wonderful! (Note I dipped it in sauce as well but much less and I used an organic sauce). As I finished it I was complaining to my hubs that I was feeling so full. I never feel full, especially after just one of these pizza type things. Then I decided to look inside the ingredients to see what all was in my creation. When I added everything up here is what I had: 300 cal 7g fat 39g carbs 10g fiber 3g sugar and 17g protein. WHAT? where did all that fiber and protein come from? My old pizza toast never had all that good stuff. Here  is what my old stuff was made up of (as per internet "research") 335 cal 20g fat 21 carbs 0 fiber 13 protein. Neither of these include the sauces because I threw away the can and sauces are hard to find online. :) I was shocked that anyone could feel so full off of such little volume of food. I am also very excited to find a healthier way to eat the things I love so I don't feel like I am sacrificing taste all the time. Yum! This is good stuff.
