Turkey Chili & More Rain

Today has been a good eating day! Did a lot of cooking! Tried a few new recipes and they were just wonderful! Cooking is one thing that makes eating healthy more fun for me. Trying new recipes is like experimenting and finding things I like and letting my family and I try them out! Made a wonderful vegetable pizza for lunch, a little mini-person pan pizza type deal. I made the crust from scratch! It was so light and fluffy and thicker than the thin flimsy little jobs you buy at the grocery store. And a good old turkey chili for dinner. I did not exercise today. My incision from my c-section has been burning and is very uncomfortable. Even when I am not doing anything strenuous so I didn't want to do anything to make it worse. I'm aggravated and scared because I don't know what is causing the pain. My scar was pretty much healed so it just seems weird for it to be hurting again and I have just come from a good stretch of rest over the holiday's...haven't really been running or anything. Well, anyway I am going to go to the Doc to have it checked out tomorrow.

One for my husband and one for myself! Here's the link if you'd like to check it out, it was quick and easy and you dont have to use yeast or wait for the crust to rise.
