New Year's Resolution

Ok, I know you are thinking – “Alyson, how can you post such great dessert recipes and then follow up with a question about my New Year’s resolution?” How many of you have already broken yours? Well if yours is to lose a few pounds, don’t despair. You can still cook fun, flavorful dishes that are healthy for you.


Today’s pizza recipe is a great recipe to help you keep on track.


Flat Bread Veggie Pizza with Garlic Aioli


Ingredients:
1/2 c. light mayo or Miracle Whip    4 flat breads or 2 Naan breads
1 14.5 oz. can diced tomato with garlic and olive oil, drained
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese     1 medium bell pepper
1 tbsp. fresh chopped basil


Directions:
  1. Combine mayo and diced tomatoes to make the aioli.
  2. Preheat oven to 425.
  3. Spread layer of garlic aioli on the bread.
  4. Sprinkle with bell pepper and top with cheese.
  5. Bake 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle with fresh basil.


If you have to have a protein on this pizza, you can add grilled chicken breast when you add the pepper. Or, change up the veggies. You can use a low fat cheese along with the light mayo to help keep it on the healthy side. Simple, healthy and yummy to boot! Could you ask for more?

As always, have fun!
