Mark was super excited that I made him his very own supreme pizza.
(Our house is 60 degrees right now, and I am wearing two tank tops, a sweater and a vest.
Don’t tell me I don’t know how to layer!)
Sausage, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms and onions. His mouth was watering.
Little did he know that the sausage, well, came from a turkey. And the pepperoni – it came from a turkey, too. The ham … OK, it was from a pig but the cheese was low fat. My Krispy Kreme-and-strawberry milk-for-breakfast husband was eating somewhat good for him. And he didn’t even know it!
Of course, I crushed his ignorance-is-bliss pizza by accidentally burning the crust. A finishing touch we’ll call it, and I’m sticking to it.
Do you encourage your significant other to eat healthy or swap out items to make less-healthy family meals a bit more figure friendly?
I do encourage Blake to eat healthy. It doesn't always work but it is what it is. He is on a quest to lose weight before our wedding now... so he is embracing it for the most part. Bundle up!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your posts - your upbeat and happy personality shines through! I wish my husband ate healthfully - God knows I've tried, but he doesn't want to hear a single word that sounds like fat-free, reduced fat, or low calorie! We just celebrated our 3rd anniversary on 1-1-11 and so we'll keep working on and hopefully by our 30th anniversary we'll be on the same food page. Happy Saturday - hope your house gets warmer - that's terribly cold inside AND out (brrr!)
ReplyDeleteYour post this morning reminded me that I has some pizza dough in the freezer. We've got a veggie pizza in the oven right now, with low-fat cheese too! My husband eats what I eat (aka ww recipes and healthy every thing) and he loves it...he'll just have a couple extra helpings now and then if it doesn't satisfy him :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I got pregnant with Brielle I stopped drinking coffee for the first trimester. During the second tri I made the switch to decaff without even telling him. Muahahaha!
ReplyDeleteI cook in our home, so he basically eats what I cook. I'm just lucky he's not that picky. Plus, he's into healthy living so he doesn't put too much of a fight.
I try to get John to eat healthy, sometimes I get him to, other times he will look at what I am making and make something else. Or he will say, "you are not using taht weird Turkey sausage again, are you??" Ummm yeah...
ReplyDeleteI do get my boyfriend to eat healthy. He's pretty good about it - as long as the dish tastes good, he doesn't care if the meat is 99% fat-free.
