Skinny Italian

We all love Italian food, but we don't always love the carbs, fat, and overly filled feeling it gives us. I had no idea what to eat for dinner. I was debating between a grilled cheese sandwich with avocado, chicken caesar salad, and squash stir fry with mozzarella. My final decision...well, a combination of all of them. Here is just one way to get the flavors of Italian food without paying for it later.
 Pizza w/ Squash
Ingredients:
Squash stir fry: (4 servings)
Squash (yellow or zucchini or both) 4 small/ 2 large
Garlic (1 clove)
Onion (1/2 cup)
Crushed red peppers (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Directions: Just saute all the ingredients in a skillet, add olive oil if necessary.

Pizza (one serving) 
1 slice of Wholewheat/sprouted grain bread
1 oz (1/4 cup) Shredded Mozzarella
1/4 cup chopped tomato
Directions: Toast bread or cook on stove til crisp. Then sprinkle on the cheese and tomato.
