Why Do We Eat So Much Pizza?
Why do we eat so much pizza? I'm sitting at lunch time eating my pizza looking across the street at the salad place. Knowing I should have got a salad instead of this pizza. However I didn't, I want to know why do they make it so darn good? If its not good for us shouldn't they just , stop making it. But noooooo, they continue to make them better and better. Heck you can get thin crust, thick crust, all king of cheese, even multiple cheeses. Today I had a Mexican pizza it was like a taco, but on crust. UMMM it was so delicious. I tried to limit myself to pizza only every now and then. That means 3-4 times a month, which is great . Did you notice how I rationalized that. My cholesterol is high, so...

Blue Highway Pizza Gainesville
I love to eat--probably more than I should--and I can say that Blue Highway pizza is absolutely my favorite pizza in Gainesville. I actually first heard about Blue Highway from the owner of Sweet Dreams Ice Cream, who is something of a local foodie himself. When I get home I checked out their website, and immediately got excited. You see, I'm the sort of person who really likes to make food from scratch. Even when I use condiments that I didn't make, I feel like I'm 'cheating.' I want to be able to do things on my own--plus, when you make food yourself, there's no fake crap in it, which makes it much healthier. Anyway, because of all that, I was very excited to see on the Blue Highway website that...

Dessert Pizza - 10 Tips to Ensure Your Cooking Success
Years ago, when I was in Milan with my husband, I had an authentic pizza. It was nothing like American version. When the server brought my order I was shocked to see it covered the entire dinner plate. The thin, crispy crust had been lightly brushed with tomato sauce and the melted cheese smelled a bit like wood smoke. Italian seasonings dotted the top. It was the best pizza I ever ate and I ate it all. Americans have changed the meaning of pizza. We now have deep dish pizza, filled crust pizza, barbecue pizza (a cross between two cuisines), breakfast pizza, vegetarian pizza, and the latest food trend, dessert pizza. Like its namesake, dessert pizza varies from region to region. But one aspect -- a...

How to Prepare a Pizza Peel Like a Pro
Experts with homemade pizza often use pizza peels when moving their pizzas to and from the oven. What is a pizza peel? It looks something like a giant spatula or flat paddle. Good ones are usually made of wood, though metal ones also exist. Some have a rectangular or square shape while others are rounded on the end. Metal peels are thin all the way along their length, while wood ones taper to a thin edge. Learning to use a pizza peel takes practice, like any kitchen tool. Some people will build their pizza right on the peel and then use it to slide the pizza into the oven. In order to help the pizza slide off easily, you need to do a little preparation. You can place cornmeal or parchment paper on...
I get a lot of emails from people asking me if just eating lean cuisine meals regularly is as effective as being on the nutrisystem diet. I don't think that it even comes close for many reasons. Listing all of the reasons would make this article too long. But in a nutshell, I think that nutrisystem is far superior to lean cuisine because I believe that the science behind that one makes it far more effective. The foods are typically much lower in calories, fat, carbs, and sodium and this makes them more effective and worth the effort. I will expand on this further by comparing the pizza products from both diets in the following article. Nutrisystem Sourdough Cheese Pizza Versus Lean Cuisine's French...

The Pizza Man And The Parrots?
p>Another day ends as the crimson sun sets beyond the glistening waters of the Verrazano where kites fly, joggers jog and lovers gaze. It's no wonder Brooklyn is the star child of New York. Famous for its humble beginnings and ahem... a few A-list celebrities: Barbara Streisand, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Marisa Tomei and Tony Danza each began their legacies here. The food? Let's just say when it comes to food, no where on earth will you find better bagels, mozzarella, or pizza. John Travolta put Brooklyn "on the map" in 1977 when he played the role of neighborhood ruffian Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever, ate a piled high triple slice of pizza at Lenny's on 86th Street and strutted his stuff...

Acne Breakouts are Caused by Pizza
"Are you going to eat that ice cream, French fries and that pizza? If you want your acne to clear up you really shouldn't eat them.", says your mom or dad. Ever heard something like that from a family member of a friend? Are they right? Do greasy foods like French fries, potato chips and pizza cause acne breakouts? Researchers to this day state that in all their research there is no direct connection to food choices except for one particular food group. The dairy food group has shown to precipitate or cause acne flare ups: milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream and others.

Pizza - The 3 Best Cheeses For Pizza
While many people add cheese to their pizza because it seems strange to leave it out, the truth is cheese can make or break the pizza. Remember those slices of pizza when you were a kid?

That was great cheese, was not it? You can do this at home and let your kids enjoy the same pizza experience. Mozzarella Mozzarella is the pizza cheese of choice.

Finding a Good Pizza Restaurant
After I went to New York City for the first time, I used to be advised by just about everyone that I needed to go to a pizza place or my trip wouldn't be complete. There is something American about finding nice pizza. In reality, there are some that feel the personality of a metropolis or a space just by the pizza that they serve. Although I did benefit from the pizza we had in NYC, I can't say it was the most effective that I have ever had. Nonetheless, it actually had a New York feel to it, and isn't that the purpose anyway? Most individuals discover that their favourite pizza place is right in their very own town. Perhaps it's as a result of that is what they eat essentially the most, and...

Chinese restaurants in California and around the globe serve pork buns. Barbecue-flavored pork and other ingredients are cooked, stuffed inside a bun, and steamed. Little stands on the street offer pork buns as do exquisite dim sum restaurants like City View in San Francisco. When I am in San Francisco, walking down Market Street or people-watching on Union Square, I will buy a soft pretzel to eat. In Japan, I will stop my car at a convenience store, probably one of Japan's approximately 12,000 Seven-Elevens, and buy a bun. Like at a drive-in, most people eat in the car. Convenience stores rarely very provide benches. Japan has adopted and adapted this style of bun. When you are hungry, biting into...

Looking at the Wood Fired Pizza Oven
The wood fired pizza oven is commonly known as Forno, in Italian, or simply just wood ovens. These ovens are usually built as outdoor pizza ovens and make use of wood fuel when it comes to cooking.

How the "Big 3" Pizza Chains Use Direct Mail to Develop New Markets
