Date Night Dinner at Home

Looking for a healthy, romantic dinner date with your mans or lady-friend?  Stay in, uncork a bottle of red wine and put that pizza stone to work.  I no longer accept the stigma that pizza is a forbidden food.  This Friday night classic can serve as the foundation of a balanced meal packed with tons of natural nutrition.  I like to use the following whole-wheat pizza dough recipe as my base.  I typically add in a few tablespoons of wheat germ and flax seed for good measure.  Keep the light cheese to a sprinkling and load-er-up with veggies.  My go to topping lately has been tossed arugula with lemon zest, pepper and shallots. Need a protein punch? Layer on some  turkey sausage or cannellini beans. With all that fiber and satiating flavor it should be easy to keep the serving size in check.
