THE RIGHT CHOICE: HEY PIZZA MAN!!

THE RIGHT CHOICE: HEY PIZZA MAN!!

For seven years of my life, I ran pizza restaurants. I was the owner of a small place in my hometown along with working for Pizza Hut and Papa Johns. No matter what city I worked in, I would slowly hear “Hey, Pizza Man!” when I was at the local grocery store or mall. I would also know people by what kind of pizza they ordered. I had one guy called, “Pepperoni thin crust with mom.” I actually ran into him and his mom a few weeks back.

That “Hey Pizza Man!” would be fun to hear. It would sort of give me pride in my product, especially when it was my own pizza. I was happy to make other people happy, even though at the time I was feeding them unhealthy food along with being close to 280 lbs myself.

I was recently at the grocery store and as one of my friends, Casey Greene, passed by, he said, “Hey Dietman!” and shook his head when he saw what I had at the checkout counter. Casey, whom I have tried to get on the program more than once, took a look at my yogurts, bananas and nuts. He got a big smile on his face and named everything I was buying.

Yes!! I was happy and couldn't wait to tell Misty about it!! I was finally the DIETMAN, instead of the Pizza Man, and was proud of how many people I have helped so far. And Casey is reminded every time he sees me – even though it might be at the grocery store or wherever – that I am the Dietman and follow my program every day of the week. It also will be in the back of his mind – that I could help him whenever he is ready.

This is my life. I made the choice to change it just like you. Whether you are called the “oddball” or “the one on the diet” or “599dietman”, keep your head up high and be happy you are on the right path.

RECIPE: Cabbage Chile Soup

RECIPE : Cabbage Chile Soup

This recipe was inspired by The Neely's Chicken Chile Stew.

Here is what you will need:

8 cups of chicken broth
1 poblano pepper
1 onion
chili powder
cumin powder
1 head of cabbage
½ teaspoon of vegetable oil

First cut up your onion and pepper. Put vegetable oil in pan. This is just a little bit of oil, but you can spread it around in the pan. You can add just some chicken broth here to go with the oil and it helps spread it out and keeps the vegetables from sticking.

Put onion and pepper in pan on medium to high heat. Sprinkle chili powder and cumin on the vegetables. (You like it hot? – add more) You will want enough here so that the onion is changing to a brownish color as you saute them. Cook these until they are sauteed and have color.

Cut your head of cabbage up – getting as much out of the head as you can. Do not grate the cabbage like you would make slaw – just cut it.

Now put the chicken broth in pot. Add sauteed vegetables and cabbage. Cook on medium heat for about 40 mins. Stir and check on it every 15 mins. I like to cook it until the cabbage is real soft and has absorbed the flavor.

1 cup – 52 calories, 1g fat, 6g carbs and 3g protein

This is great with any kind of sandwich. You could even use it as a mid-meal snack with a cup of soup and 5 crackers.
