Roska Version 2.0

Recently Drew was chosen to participate in a "treadmill study". I place this in quotations because Drew is one of the few who is not using a treadmill but an elliptical trainer and while they call it a study it seems to me they are more of a test group or search for testimonials. But as long as Drew keeps up with the requirements we'll be able to keep the machine free of charge. Score!

So currently we are working on Roska Version 2.0. We are becoming more active and conscious of what we eat and in turn becoming more healthy. It's been a really positive change in our life. Because we are trying to eat more healthy it has us trying new recipes. One of our first healthy meals was a low fat, low cal sweet and sour pork. It was good and really filling. We've been using whole wheat pasta and homemade whole wheat pizza dough. It's a small change but the whole wheat makes it so much more flavorful. It's been fun to plan together and cook together.

These are our homemade whole wheat pizzas with grilled chicken, peppers, spinach, and a few artichokes. MMMMmmmm. These are personal size pizzas but we had leftovers for lunch the next day.

Awesome! How did Drew get in on the study? Would you be willing to share your recipes?

Can I have your recipe for the homemade whole wheat pizza dough? We need to get together. As soon as Mike doesn't have to work at night I'll give you a call.

Hey, if you're looking for ways to change your lifestyle/eating habits the book "Intuitive Eating" is amazing and has worked SO well for me. Good-luck with everything and the food looks delish!
