Yes, I still have cravings. Almost 12 months after starting my weight loss journey and completely changing my lifestyle, I still have almost uncontrollable cravings for some food. But cravings are actually fun now: when I get a craving for something I shouldn't even think about, I try to come up with a super healthy alternative for it. That's what I did tonight. I had a craving for pizza and I'm sure you can understand why! The crispy crust, the melty cheese, the bold flavors. I just had to have it!
My alternative healthy-tasty pizza! The best part about this pizza is that it is completely guilt-free! Whole wheat tortilla instead of that big gooey dough, sun-dried tomatoes that bring a lot of flavor, the garlic, the basil, the cheese... Mmmmmm!
1 whole wheat tortilla
5 sun-dried tomatoes, in pieces
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
140 grams of mozzarella cheese, grated
A couple leaves of basil
1 teaspoon of parmesan
Preheat your oven to 350. Grab your tortilla, rub your minced garlic all over it and spread it all around. Add your pieces of sun-dried tomatoes and cover with the mozzarella cheese. Top your pizza with the basil leaves and the parmesan. Pop in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, keeping an eye on it. Be careful; the pizza being pretty thin, the crust will burn quickly if you leave it in there for too long. When the cheese is melted and golden, take it out and enjoy a tasty, healthy pizza! I personally eat mine with a salad or some roasted veggies.
Belle pizza, hein? Et elle n'est pas que belle. Elle est bonne! J'adore transformer mes envies de malbouffe en repas nutritifs avec de vrais ingrédients. C'est toujours un véritable défi. Comme j'avais vraiment envie de pizza aujourd'hui, je me suis amusé à faire une pizza pour laquelle je n'aurais aucun remord. Le problème avec les pizzas, c'est souvent la grosse croute bien moelleuse. Le problème est vite éliminé quand on la remplace par une tortilla de blé entier, qui en plus d'être nutritive, devient rapidement craquante au four. On garnit la tortilla de vrais ingrédients, comme des tomates séchées, de la mozarrella, du parmesan et des feuilles de basilic, et le tour est joué!

Looks awesome! I might have this for dinner tonight. I've made similar with a spinach tortilla, low fat ricotta cheese, and veggies. yum yum!!
I love your bilingual blog. Luckily for me I can read French (can't speak it to save my life)! I've got French-Canadian blood in me :)

Mmmm that sounds really tasty, Betzyrama! I'm gonna give that a try for sure! :)
The bilingual thing is pretty much necessary. Yes, I'm French Canadian, but I think I use English in my everyday life more than I do French.
Merci Véro pour cette super recette que j'ai essayé et que j'ai adoré! Ma twist personelle: ajouter des tranches minces de zucchini et de champignons, et la coriandre.
Super ton blog, continue! Ça me donne plein d'inspiration dans ma lutte pour faire fondre ma bedaine, moi aussi!
