Enter Skinny Tortilla Pizza.
Let me catch you up on my Wednesday. Colon cancer runs in my family. Being that I'm in my 30's, I had a colonoscopy done Thursday as a preventative measure.
So, really the title of this blog post should've been, "Things that go up my butt".
Any hooters, I had to chug this lovely electrolyte solution on Wednesday evening. 4 liters of absolute disgusting liquid. I started having gag reflexes once I looked at it. Sick. It's meant to clear you out.

| 4 L of nasty |
All was clear and I'm set for 5 years. After a liquid diet on Wednesday, I was hungry for real food.
What you will need:
Pizza or Spaghetti sauce
Lots-o-Veggies
Mozzarella
Pre-heat the oven to 400* and add sauce to tortilla on a cookie sheet. You could cover the sheet with foil for an extra crispy crust.
Add veggies (I used broccoli that had been roasted and spinach) and a light amount of cheese.
Bake for 10-12 mins depending on how crispy you like your "crust".
The tortilla is only 80 calories plus sauce, veggies and cheese, so this number is easily under 250 calories.
Be prepared to share with your best buddy, though.
This would be a perfect option for Superbowl Sunday when temptation will be surrounding us! But, indulge a little, especially if you've been good all week.
Do you look forward to the game or rating the commercials more?
- I'm not a big NFL fan, so I like the excuse it provides for another get together and checking out funny commercials.
What's your favorite party treat?
- Chips and chunky salsa.
I almost choked on my water when you told us what your post should have been titled. Seriously, that made me laugh so hard!
ReplyDeleteUgh! I would struggle to drink all of that stuff. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThat tortilla pizza is a great idea, and for vegan folks, a little Daiya cheese would be perfect.
So, do you cook the broccoli before baking it on the pizza or just throw raw brocolli on there. I am seriously making this tomorrow night. I have all of the ingredients!
Things I Put Up My Butt would have been a way better title, by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent meal! FYI but you prb already know this.. processed meats increase colon cancer. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of these kinds of pizzas too...Cooper has a look in his eyes that says it must be really good too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad all was well! I eat a small tortilla pizza and a smoothie everyday for lunch. Kind of boring, but I love pizza, so this is the healthy way to go! : )
ReplyDeleteMy parents did a couple's colonoscopy, as in they had them done in the same afternoon. Apparently its very common because its the only way some guys will go in and have it done.
ReplyDeleteI had to be the one to drop them off and pick them up. yes, I had to tell my boss that I needed a half day because my folks were having a colonoscopy date. No, he did not ask questions.
Four liters of that stuff! UNBELIEVABLE! Glad everything is OK though.
ReplyDeleteYou would have gotten all kinds of new traffic if you had used the alternative title!
ReplyDeleteGlad all is ok and your pizza looks yummy!
I'm with Kathy....if you wanted to get page views that title would have done it.
ReplyDeleteI am a huge NFL fan and having my favorite team in the game doesn't hurt one bit.
I will be showcasing my Super Sunday Menu tomorrow on the blog.
Pizza looks great and Cooper agrees!!! Erica
ReplyDeleteGlad the colon scope is 'behind' you. Sorry I couldn't resist. Pizza looks delish. For Superbowl I'm a guac and commercials kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Glad your scope was good. I'm all about chips and homemade guac, I could seriously live on it.
ReplyDeleteOk I've got to try this because I'm convinced between pizza and chips and salsa that's where my extra pounds came from, this should help with those cravings..
ReplyDeleteFav party treat = beer ;) Colon cancer runs in my family as well. I haven't started testing for it, but I'm not exactly looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteGah! That looks delish! Thank you for sharing, I'm going to make that this weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Superbowl! Commercials are the best part (when Peyton Manning isn't there!) and I love having some wings! Jesse always makes us get a big sub, tradition!
ReplyDeleteI <3 Football. Especially when the Packers are playing, lol. I'll be watching the Superbowl for the football. The commercials are just a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks freaking amazing!!! Coop looks like he wants that piece bad, lol :)
That pizza looks AM-azing. i don't care about the game-- just the half time show and commercials to go along with any kind of dip/chips. 7 layer especially!!
ReplyDeleteO man...my acupuncturist and I were just talking about colonoscopies...
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the 'all clear' :)
I like the subtle changes. It's still BP...but a little 'cleaner' :)
I don't watch football and we aren't going to any parties, because I'll be at work. So I'm a party pooper! But, my favorite party treats are hummus and artichoke dip, I love veggies and dips!!
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks super yummy!
Ah, the colonoscopy. I had my first done a couple months ago. Thanks to the Dr., they hooked me up with some Suprep...free. Otherwise I could've done to jug or bought Suprep for $80+. I was going to buy the Suprep even if they hadn't offered the free one. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteThat pizza looks yummy. I've made tortilla pizzas before, but never thought of putting broccoli on. Good idea! Will have to try.
As for the Super Bowl. We don't have/go to a party so no worries on munchies there...although I love me some salsa!
Good on you for doing it even if it's not pleasant! Pizza looks perfect!
ReplyDelete:)
Yum that looks so delicious - I need that! I am definitely more into the commercials than the football. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am easy too! I am all about 5 ingredients or less. This looks great! We are staying home and watching the superbowl.
ReplyDeleteAs an Oncology nurse I have never understood why they call that stuff Go-Lytely...people do not "go litely" at all after consuming 4 liters of that stuff!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the all clear!!
ReplyDeleteI like football but I love the commercials, and chicken wings. Oh, and guacamole and chips and .... I could go on and on... I love food. :-)
yum! Such a good idea.. I'm going to remember this recipe. I'm like you.. the shorter the ingredient list the better! oh man, I hear your pain about the colonoscopy. They are brutal but that liquid is even worse. I had to go on a liquid diet for two days before mine and the drugs they used to sedate me made me feel drunk for 3 days. Glad to hear all is good with you though :)
ReplyDeleteYay on the all clear...ugh. I am not looking forward to that...I heard that is some nasty stuff to drink.
ReplyDeleteThe pizza sounds great.
The pizza sounds great!! I am a sucker for pizza and I am always trying to find ways to make it healthy! Ugh a colonoscopy, I so need to get one of those done but I just don't have the guts.. ha ha !
