Sensible comfort food

How often do those words work together? What could possibly be sensible about comfort food? Isn't food that's comforting pretty much automatically bad for you? I mean, mash potatoes, peanut butter & jelly, ice cream, french fries, chocolate and pizza might have their good-for-you arguments ... but let's be real.

Well, I found a way to make at least one of those items sensible and I couldn't be happier about it. Healthy substitutes for decadent foods are usually anything but comforting. They're bland, rubbery and often taste more like cardboard than food.

But when I've had a stressful day and it's time to eat, all I want is pizza. Thank GOD for this version of it that totally satisfies and doesn't ruin my diet.

Ev's Toaster Oven Pizza

1 whole wheat tortilla (1 weight watcher point)
2-3 Tbs pizza sauce (0 points)
1/4 Cup low fat shredded cheese (2 points)
8 slices of turkey pepperoni (1 point)
Total points = 4

Combine ingredients as you would a pizza, adding veggies if you wish. Don't overload the tortilla or it will be a mess to eat! Pop it in the toaster oven for about as long as it takes to toast bread. That's it. So easy, and so delicious.

Sensible comfort food. Woo hoo!
