The Amazing Veggie Wrap

~Simple, Quick, Versatile, Delicious!~

I thought this was sort of a cheat - it's not complex, in fact it is ridiculously fast, and easy, but I thought that I just had to share with you one of my favorite lunch ideas. It is free from gluten, dairy, egg, corn, soy and animal products. It is versatile: add or subtract veggies to get exactly what you want. It's really healthy: gluten free wraps average only 130 calories each, compared to 'regular' wraps at almost 200 each, plus you are getting at least 2 servings of veggies (I always try to stuff mine as full as possible, with the result that I need a fork to pick up the overflow)! Add cheese (or a substitute) for extra protein, add sprouts, toasted sesame seeds, taziki sauce, sliced meat/substitute or tuna, you name it, the options are endless! Here are my favourite ingredients:

The Amazing Veggie Wrap(s)

2 Gluten Free Tortillas
Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
Mustard, to taste
1 Stalk Celery, cut in half
1 Carrot, Peeled and cut in half
2 slices of Tomato, cut in half
1 Mushroom, sliced
2-3 slices of Onion
2-4 Slices of Cheese/Substitute
2 Romaine Lettuce Leaves
Pickles, as garnish

With wraps at room temperature, arrange ingredients evenly in center of the wraps, topping with pepper and mustard. Roll up, and serve with pickles on the side. Enjoy!!

Healthier Veggie Tortilla Pizza

~The Amazing Pizza Fresh Out of the Oven~

So, I love healthy eating. I don't eat junk very often, and if I do, it is in moderation, and I make it myself from scratch so I know what's in it. That being said, I loooove pizza. I can make a pretty darn good homemade pizza crust, but it's a lot of work, and a lot of calories. What to do when I am ravenous and want pizza, but want it fast and healthy? This version, whipped up in minutes and baked up quickly, is delicious and pretty darn healthy. It's made with low fat or soy cheese, and vegetables, as well as a gluten free tortilla as a thin crust. With your own favourite toppings, this can be free of any allergen you desire, even vegan! Try it tonight, and it'll be your favourite in a pinch!
Healthier Veggie Tortilla Pizza
1 gluten free soft tortilla
2-3 tbsp of your favorite pasta sauce (I love mushroom garlic)
2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
2 tbsp Onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tomato, finely chopped
1 medium mushroom, finely sliced
2 tbsp green pepper, finely chopped
1 cup broccoli florets, cut into small florets
1/2 cup grated low fat or soy cheese
Preheat oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Place tortilla on lightly greased baking sheet. Cover evenly with pasta sauce, and place the sliced garlic evenly around the edge of the crust. Evenly sprinkle the rest of the toppings over the top, finishing with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly brown and bubbly on top.
Enjoy!!!
