Kid Friendly Pizza Casserole

This is one of my family's favorite dishes and one I've loved for years too!! It was actually taken from the Weight Waters 5 Ingredient 15 Minute Cookbook but I made a few adjustments and added some extra ingredients....to part of the dish. On the right I added pepperoni and olives, in the middle only olives and on the left neither were added. This was based on kid vs adult preference.

Personally I had middle pieces so I had less crust. This is low fat, low calorie meal that everyone enjoyed!! For 21 Day Fixers, I counted this as a Yellow, Red, and Blue. The kids had applesauce on the side while the adults had a salad.

Ingredients
1 pound ground round meat or turkey
15 oz can chunky Italian-style tomato sauce

10 oz can refrigerated pizza crust dough
1 1/2 cups (6 oz) pre-shredded mozzarella or Mexican cheese
Olives
Pepperoni's
Cooking spray or Coconut oil

Cooking Directions

Preheat over 425 degrees

Cook meat in a nonstick skillet over medium-heat high until browned, stirring until it crumbles. Drain, if necessary, and return to skillet.

Add tomato sauce and cook until heated.

While meat cooks, coat a 13X9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust dough and press into bottom and halfway up sides of baking dish. Top bottom of pizza crust with meat mixture. Top with olives and pepperoni's.

Bake uncovered at 425 degrees for 12 minutes. Top with cheese and bake 5 minutes until crust is browned and cheese melts. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Yield 6 servings.

Home Workouts brought my Pre-Baby Body & Confidence Back

After having my two girls, I struggled with getting to the gym as its daycare hours didn’t work around my schedule. The best day for me was Saturday morning and thenI had to gather my iPad, earbuds, towel, diapers, wipes and two girls. By the time we were buckled into the car, 30 minutes later, someone had to go to the bathroom. Then once we got to the gym, I did an hour of cardio while watching Mad Men and walked around the equipment trying to recall sessions with a personal trainer years ago. Then a week later, we did it all over again and during the week, I walked outside a few nights a week. My eating habits were somewhat healthy, but I finished my daughter’s mac and cheese and nibbled on her pretzels and goldfish during snack time. As a result, I didn't lose weight, I was tired and I was somewhat depressed as I missed the time and luxury of going to the gym before they were born. Then a friend posted her results from 21 Day Fix and I asked he...

Shakeology No Bake Cookies

Over the weekend, I made Shakeology No Bake Cookies (or balls). I prefer to make these as balls rather than flattening them as cookies. I've made them with both Chocolate and Vanilla Shakeology and both are good. Using the Vanilla Shakeology actually creates Peanut Butter Balls...you don't really notice the vanilla...it just mixes in. My girls and husband prefer the Peanut Butter Balls, but when I am craving chocolate...this is a great option! The girls love helping with this recipe and it's super easy! Ingredients: 1 cup Chocolate or Vanilla Shakeology 1 cup all-natural peanut butter 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats 1/2 cup raw honey How to Make: Combine ingredients into a medium bowl, mix well with rubber spatula or by hand. Roll mixture into balls about 1 inch in size. Put into container. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Enjoy cold.

3 Day Refresh Review...

I decided to take Beachbody's 3 Day Refresh with a goal to lose a few more pounds, eliminate diet soda, and learn about the program, so I couldshare with others. For over a year, I considered the 3 DayRefresh and feared that I couldn't follow the meal plan because it doesn't have meat and limited liquid choices. No caffeine didn't worry me since I went over 1 1/2 years without caffeine...twice (when I was pregnant & nursing my girls)!! However, giving up all diet soda and meat is something VERY difficult for me. I have been following the 21 Day Fix meal plan for the past year and love it because it allows me to eat 5-6 times a day with very few limitations. However, I decided it was time for me to take the challenge and grow with the 3 Day Refresh. Here is a little info and intro to the 3 Day Refresh... This is an overview of the meal plan for the 3 Day Refresh.... Prepping for the 3 Day Refresh: Prior to beginni...
