Hello readers, Some of us struggle with maintaining weight, loosing weight or having a healthier lifestyle. One of my personal struggles is letting go my favorite dishes. Like pizza! I love pizza! But pizza is not good as it is very high in fats and sugar! Just imagine one slice of pizza can contain the same calories as a piece of roast chicken with steam rice and vegetables all together. But pizza is so good and this is why I am writing this blog! This blog will include 3 different styles of easy homemade pizza which are more healthy and you can actually enjoy the whole pizza with less than 500 calories and not only just 1 slice.  Ingredients for the base: 1 Weight watchers tortilla wraps (128 calories for each tortilla wrap) 2 tablespoons of tomato paste (30 calories for 2 tablespoons) 100 grams of reduce fat grated cheese (I use either the weight watchers and if I don't find weight watchers I usually select any cheese that contains 3% fat only.

If your time is limited I suggest you to invest in a rice cooker as it takes 15 minutes to 20 minutes maximum  perfect rice without you being stack in the kitchen. If you are a fan of the...

Hello readers! I hope you doing well!  If you are here just for the recipe only, then please scroll further down. I know is been a long time since my last post! Don't worry I am doing great. As most of you may know I use my blogs as a hobby and as way to express myself. If you are with me from the beginning then you know I struggle with depression and PTSD but I am doing a lot better now and becoming more active as a member in society. Since I have somehow recovered from my struggles with mental illness I am now in the process of catching up with the world around me. Which it is a challenge and this is why I am not keeping up to my blogging schedule. Most probably I will not keep to my blog schedule!  Now let's move on to the main theme of my blog which is the sweet and sour pork recipe. After recovering with depression I had to teach myself how to eat healthy again so I downloaded an application to help me count my calories. Important note to that is to recognize the ...
