Spotlight Recipe: Mushroom, Onion & Basil Pizza

Mushroom, Onion & Basil Pizza
Most of the time I’m only cooking for one, so I prefer not to make anything too complicated. Weekday or weekend, this dish is perfect for a speedy meal. I buy whole-wheat pizza dough at the grocery store, freeze it in individual portions and defrost as needed. With jarred marinara sauce, all I have to do is add the toppings and pop it in the oven! Sometimes I scale the ingredients down for a single serving, but if not, the leftovers get packed up for lunch the next day.

These nibblers are always a star on my holiday cheese platter. I pep up traditional sundried tomatoes with lemon, garlic, fresh oregano and olive oil. The tomatoes take a while to marinate, so make them the day before or first thing in the morning.

Nutrient to Know: Tryptophan

Turkey
You always hear about tryptophan around Thanksgiving time. Folks warn that that getting too much turkey (one of the most well-known sources) puts you in a “food coma.” Is it really to blame for that post-dinner snooze?

On Fruit Juice: Good or Bad?, CallFritz.com said:

If that is the case, it should say something about the fruit juice it's self. They are not real fruit. How can something so natural be so bad for you? Think about that. I would try a Yoli Health Drink to be on the safe side.
