Summer comforts

Pizza isn't really just a summer food but when you sweat just sitting in your home office and all you can think about is a cool breeze and perhaps a pool, it is a comfort food. But I don't eat pizza just because it's delicious, I also require it to  be nutritious. And this is what I get:

Homemade goodness! A whole wheat crust with tomato sauce and skim mozzarella cheese, ground venison (no pepperoni) and lots of veggies. I eat a slice or two of this and my body doesn't yell at me later. And that is true comfort.

Good health is important to me. A balanced diet and exercise are a requirement to my way of thinking. As a wife and caretaker of our home, my food choices affect everyone who enters our doors. Just as I want the conversation and atmosphere to be pleasing to God, so I want what is served to be. It's about taking care of what's on the inside.

I'm always looking for new ideas on how to spice up the healthy lifestyle. If anyone has a favorite healthy meal or a tip on how to maintain a home that brings God glory, please let me know! Someday I'll have you over and treat you to your favorite recipe.
