Pizza toast

I was craving pizza and just happened to get all the pizza toppings together except for actual pizza base. This is bread slices spread with tomato paste, topped with bacon etc and sprinkled with cheese.

Pizza omelette

Pizza is without a doubt one of my favourite foods ever. I can turn my nose up at most savoury snacks – chips of every description, nuts, dips. However, the smell of hot mozzarella on freshly baked bread is one of those things that can make the most strict of dieters go weak at the knees with hunger. This is why we do low carb versions of our favourite foods. Here, I am using my microwave omelette maker. All you need to do is beat 3 eggs, pour the mixture into each half, and microwave for 2 minutes. Then you add the toppings (in my case it was cheese, onion, pasta sauce and bottled capsicum), then microwave for another 2 minutes. You can make the omelette fluffier by beating the egg whites until they become frothy and then folding in the beaten egg yolks. You can also choose to use one of those cartons of egg whites they sell at the supermarket instead. Some of these are flavoured with things like spinach and ricotta.

Nachos and baked beans, aka healthy alternative to Doritoes Pizza

After making pizzas a few days, I had leftover tomatoes, pizza sauce and cheese. I also had a bag of Cool Ranch Doritoes I had been wanting to try and hadn't finished. The natural conclusion? Nachos! This is partly inspired by a recipe of my sister, who likes to cover doritoes with cheese and pasta sauce, then microwave them for a bit. Some chips have submerged with the sauce and cheese and are soft, while others remain crunchy. The baked beans are there to "bulk" everything up and turn an unhealthy snack into a healthy meal. Who said they need to go to Dominoes to get the "Doritoes pizza" experience?

Pizza or tortilla?

Weight Watchers frozen personal pizza. At under 400 calories, it sounds like the perfect diet meal. But after actually trying this extremely thin crusted, scantily clad pizza, I think I could have done better with  a hearty pita bread topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella and anti-pasto vegetables.
