Who says we can’t have pizza post op? I love pizza and so does my family. I often feel bad that my daughter does not eat out often like kids in her class so sometimes I try to include more normal type meals into our diet. She loves home made pizza.. this is the standard in our house, you will notice I put the toppings under the cheese, I do it so that she can’t pick off what she does not want and they don’t get burnt.
Pizza
- 1 low carb whole wheat tortilla
- 1 tablespoon whipped cottage cheese
- Garlic powder
- Dried basil or Italian seasoning
- 2 turkey meatballs cut into small pieces (I love the trader joe’s frozen ones!)
- Diced bell peppers
- Diced onion
- Mozzarella cheese
Pre-heat your oven and pizza stone to 400. Top the tortilla with cottage cheese being sure to spread it thin or the pizza will be soggy and limp. Sprinkle with garlic, basil, bell pepper, onion and meatball then top with cheese.
Bake till cheese bubbles and tortilla is crunchy. I do have a cheat on my pizza toppings; I buy the pepper and onion pre diced from the freezer section so I can make a pizza as a quick meal.
