Pesto Four Cheese Baked Stacked Eggplant. Before I was a bastion of health, my favorite food was eggplant parmesan. And if I was in Boston, it was an eggplant parmesan sub from Hi-Fi. Holy Moses it was amazing! And it also had roughly 1190 calories and 42 grams of fat. That’s a full days worth in just one meal. I tried to health it up by making a baked, non-sub version, but it just wasn’t the same. Then last week I was perusing the frozen food section for my Lean Pockets, when I happened across this little treasure. I thought it might be small and tasteless, but boy was I mistaken. It. Was. AWESOME. And only 280 calories and 11 grams of fat! Six of those are saturated, so a little high, but still, for what you’re getting that’s totally worth it. It’s an eggplant dream come true.

250 Cal 12” Cheese and Veggie pizza!

This looks AWESOME!

livinghealth:

250 calories? Yeah. It’s a pretty big deal. Especially since you consider that’s how many calories are in your average SLICE of pizza. Also, it tastes good. Really really good. [Please note, this picture was taken mid-way through baking. I did a little something with this baby for fun when I was done. You’ll see.]

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12” Multi Grain Tortilla from La Tortilla Factory (100 cals)
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (140 cals)
  • Veggies (as many as you want—I used some spinach and chopped onions)
  • 3 Tablespoons marinara sauce

DIRECTIONS:

Place ingredients on tortilla in whatever order/style you want. Microwave for 45 seconds (or until cheese melts!) Enjoy!

Or you can bake it in the oven at 350* for about 10 minutes—makes the tortilla  little crispier.

If you were curious, this is what I did with mine—made it a roll up! Fun way to eat my pizza. The cheese just oozes out!
