Pasta & Pizza
Where would we be without macaroni & cheese? For that matter, where would we be without spaghetti, ravioli, tortellini and the dozens of other pasta shapes and varieties that we’ve come to rely on as dinner staples? Pasta is versatile, easy, fast and contrary to what a lot of people may think, nutritious. A half-cup serving has less than 100 calories, a minimal amount of fat, and is a good source of B vitamins, folic acid, and iron. The key to keeping it healthy is watching the portion size and what you put on it (go easy on the cream sauces) and choosing whole wheat or whole wheat blends when possible. As for pizza, the same holds true. A pizza made with whole wheat crust, tomato sauce, lowfat cheese, and vegetable toppings and served with a salad on the side makes a hearty and healthy meal.
