NEW CASTLE —
It's a pizza party!
Maybe my biggest challenge to losing weight, aside from letting go of my Pepsi, is my love of pizza.
I mean, I really love pizza, as I know many people do.
According to USA Today, Papa John's pizza chain expected to sell more than one million pies on Super Bowl Sunday last year. I'm sure they met, and probably exceeded, their expectations.
So, am I planning on giving up pizza? Simply put, no. I plan on continuing to enjoy pizza, just better-for-me pizza.
Luckily, healthy pizza recipes aren't too hard to find. Allow me to share some of my favorites with you.
Veggie Grilled Pizza ...
This fresh pizza is topped with zucchini, red pepper, and eggplant.

Green Pizza ...
This recipe is my absolute favorite. If you like broccoli as I do, you'll love this pizza.

Just remember, even though these pizzas are healthier, I wouldn't recommend over-indulging.
Happy cooking!

Lisa Madras: How much do you know about Memorial Day’s rich tradition?
It's Memorial Day today, so, with my blog running on Mondays, I sort of get the short end of the stick on these holidays. It's cool though. I'm more than happy to take a little hiatus from complaining about my problems to pay homage to the men and women who gave their lives to protect our freedoms, including the right that I have to get on here each week and express my views.

Josh Drespling: Feeling entitled? It’s time to ‘man up’
Why is it that we all feel entitled? Every turn of the proverbial corner I encounter another segment of our egotistical population that feel they are deserving of specialized treatment.

Courtney Caughey: To busy for a full meal? Try some grab-and-go foods
We've all been there. Life gets in the way of taking the time to stop and eat. I know I get cranky when I haven't eaten and, if I go too long without nourishment, I can't concentrate. But, what if we really can't take the time to enjoy a full meal?

Lisa Madras: Believe it or not, there are reasons to smile today
What makes you smile? Some days, you just wake up with a smile on your face. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining, Prince (or Princess) Charming has ventured out of your warm, snuggly nest early to put on some coffee and cook you buttery, heart-shaped pancakes, delivered to your bed with a loving gaze and a single, long-stemmed red rose in a crystal vase.

Josh Drespling: Good diet/bad diet?
I've been trying diligently to eat right and make healthier choices in what I eat and put into my body. I'm now the guy at the grocery store who reads every label. You know, the guy with his buggy in the way while you’re trying to get in and get out.

Gary Church: I know what you’re thinking, but I didn’t become a great guy overnight — really.
Learning to adapt has played a big role in my 37 years of successful marriage. At night, when my wife takes all of the covers and leaves me with only enough to cover half of my body, I adapt. I keep one half of my body warm for a while, then I roll over and get the other half warm.

Tim Kolodziej: Struggling? Remember, even ‘regular china’ can sparkle
Ever wish you were bigger, faster, smarter, prettier ... go ahead, pick an “er.” Any “er.” Chances are, the guy sitting next to you at school or the girl in your office feels the same way. That’s because all of us, in a sense, are “regular china.”
