Well, I have a pizza recipe for you that fits perfectly with your healthy diet plans and the prep time for this delicious homemade pizza is only 20 minutes and then cook time is 15 minutes. This homemade pizza should be a part of your healthy eating plans. It tastes delicious and only takes about 35 minutes to make and serve. Recipe by registered dietician Jayson Hunter.

Ingredients:

1 12 ounce whole-wheat or whole-grain pizza crust, such as Boboli

1/4 cup pizza sauce

1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained well

1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

6 medium white mushrooms, sliced

1/4 cup part skim ricotta

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan

1 Tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil

2 tsps Balsamic Vinegar

6 oz of chopped chicken, cooked

 1. Cook 6 oz of chicken and then cut into small chunks.

2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a large pizza pan or baking sheet on the bottom of the oven to preheat.

3. Spread the pizza sauce on the pizza crust followed by the spinach and onion. Then sprinkle with the mozzarella and mushrooms. Dollop the ricotta over the pizza and sprinkle wiht the parmesan. Spread the chopped chicken over the pizza and finish by drizzling the olive oil all over.

4. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza pan or baking sheet that is in the oven. Bake until the crust is puffed and beginning to color at the edges and the cheese is melted. This should take about 10 minutes. Take the pizza out of the oven and then preheat the broiler.

5. Put the pizza back into the oven once the broiler is up to temperature and broil the pizza until the cheese is browned and bubbling. This will only take about 2-3 minutes. Pull the pizza out and let cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the balsamic vinegar and slice and serve.

I’m sure that you have heard of the latest fitness craze, Zumba® fitness which fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will blow you away. This Latin inspired exercise dance is a fusion of salsa, meringue, belly dance, reggaeton, flamenco with an emphasis on abs (core), legs and glutes.

The  goal is simple:  Zumba wants you to WANT to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba® Fanatics achieve long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning, body-energizing, awe-inspiring movements meant to engage and captivate for life!

The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you’ve got a Zumba® class!

In the past years, Zumba® fitness has become nothing short of a revolution, spreading like wildfire, and positioning itself as the single most influential movement in the industry of fitness.

As of July 2009, the Zumba® program is being taught at over 40,000 locations in 75 countries, has sold millions of DVDs, and has changed the lives of Zumba® Fanatics worldwide with an astonishing five million participants taking Zumba classes every week.

Why? Because it’s the best party around.

Here are a few local classes in my neighborhood. I have a friend that keeps asking me to join her. I just might join her next week.

Parmesan Citrus Grilled Asparagus

Asparagus

Shredded Parmesan Cheese

This is one of my favorite ways to prepare asparagus. It’s hard to believe, but it is my kid’s favorite side dish! It’s unthinkable, but I hear these words come out of their mouths often,

“Yes! Mom is making asparagus..That’s my favorite!”

Have it as a healthy snack or as a yummy side dish to your main course.

Let us know in the comments if this recipe sounds appealing or if you have other great asparagus recipes.
