Homemade Pizza

Pizza is my favorite food. The problem with it is that there is no way to really know how many calories I'm taking in when I go to my favorite pizza joints in town. I also love Trader Joe's, and when I was there last week I decided to buy some ingredients and try to put together a homemade pizza. I usually say that "pizza is like sex, even when it's bad, it's good", so even if it didn't turn out fantastic, I would still enjoy it.

But turn out fantastic it did! So I'll list here the ingredients that I used, and the calorie count for the quantities that I used. For the dried tomatoes, the table shows a larger serving than I actually used, because the program used to calculate the calories had a different calorie count for them than what the jar said. So I adjusted the quantity accordingly on the calculator, but in reality I only used about 6-7 thin tomato strips. (The reason the dried tomatoes were so high in calories is because they are preserved in olive oil).

So here is the ingredient list for the homemade pizza (for that typical pizza taste I sprinkled dried oregano on top. The smell while baking filled the entire house!):
