Simple, Sound Nutrition

This blog is intended to help women and men come to grips with nutrition. We all have a ton of questions about nutrition and don't know where to look for help. You can't depend on tv, magazines or your local gym for advice. They all give all sorts of confusing information and you never know what's completely bogus. Well, I plan to give you my advice, per Heidi and my background, which is a BS in Dietetics. I also have 4 kids and a husband to feed on a daily basis so I would love to share some great meal ideas and shopping tips. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, share recipes, etc.

Easy and Yummy Dinner

Alfredo Pizza (I just made this one up)

Ready made butter biscuits (you can find lower calorie, lower fat)or you could make your own, if you're very talented at making buttery, light biscuits

Alfredo sauce
1-2 cups fat-free sour cream
1 Tbsp or so light margarine
Parmesan, to taste
Mozzarella, to taste

1- 2 cups (enough to cover crust) chicken, cooked, chopped

Directions: Pull out biscuits and separate each biscuit in half. Place on baking sheet close together making a rectangle. Smash the biscuits down and push together. (They will still come out as separate, little pizzas but the topping will be all even and won't get on the pan.)
For the sauce, place about a tablespoon of margarine in a frying pan and a cup or 2 of sour cream and stir together over low to medium heat. Add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese to taste. Spread sauce over entire biscuit pizza crust.
For the chicken, cook in microwave and then place in frying pan with little cooking spray to brown chicken. Scatter chicken pieces over the sauce and moisten with the sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and Monterrey cheese over top, just to cover a little. Put in oven according to biscuit directions. I think 350 degrees for 13-15 min.

Serve with a great green salad and Voila. You have it.

Everyone loved this meal! My kids devoured it.
