About Me

On June 2, 2012 I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in Juarez, Mexico. This blog follows my journey, thoughts and challenges regarding a lifetime of being "just a pretty face" and the road to a healthier me!

It is all Greek to me.....

Greek style food has always been one of my most favorite ethnic dishes.  I love the taste of feta, red onion, and cucumber together.  My most favorite pizza is the Greek Pizza at California Pizza Kitchen (minus the chicken).  I was thrilled to find a fun recipe for a low carb Greek Pizza on a bariatric website last summer after I had surgery.  Then.....I discovered an even better deal!  Greek Nachos!!  This is actually almost the same as the Greek Pizza I love but with a nice spread of hummus as the "sauce" this is a winner in my sleeved tummy and my body which needs as much protein as it can get.  It is seriously freezing cold here in Alabama right now (for us southern people who die when it is below 50 degrees) so this hit the spot for my comfort food craving as well.

Greek Nachos
1 low carb tortilla or small super thin pizza crust
hummus (I used the plain Sabra brand and it was delish)
diced cucumber, red onion, kalamata olives, tomato and artichoke hearts
feta cheese

Warm your tortilla/crust until crispy
spread hummus on the crispy crust
sprinkle topping on the hummus (fabulous protein and healthy carb)
cut into triangles
Enjoy!!
