Any suggestions for low calorie, healthy toppings for pizza?

Jbrach......I like Cook's Illustrated pizza dough recipe and also California Pizza Kitchen's cookbook recipe. Actually most pizza dough recipes are pretty much alike, but it is important to use "bread flour" instead of all purpose because of the gluten content.

Storing cookie dough?

I always form the extra cookie dough into a log and freeze it after wrapping it tightly. Then I slice off pieces for just a few cookies that I want to bake at a time. It works great!!!! This way I'm not tempting myself to overeat the delicious homemade cookies.

Question of the Day: How did you get your first cooking-related burn?

When I was a little girl, I was making E-Z Pop Popcorn and got the burn of my life on my middle right finger. I still have the scar to show for it.

Question of the Day: How did you get your first cooking-related burn?

The first food-related burn I got... I'd have to say was when I was about to enjoy a nice medium-sized pepperoni-and-cheese pizza at Pizza Hut.

Silly me, I didn't realize the steam flowing from the cheese meant that it was hot.

I took one bite and the cheese (and the sauce trapped beneath the cheese) caused nice second-to-third degree burns to the roof of my mouth, and scorched my tongue. I had strips of skin hanging painfully down from the roof of my mouth.

As you probably already know, there are tons of Korean Restaurants in Bergen County. My favorites in Palisades Park include:

Myung Dong Kalgugsoo (452 Broad Ave)
This place is named after a very famous noodle shop in Seoul, which serves "Kal KukSoo" or "Knife Noodle Soup," the noodles are so named as the pasta dough is actually cut with a knife. Obviously I would suggest you go with an order of their signature dish and branch out from there.

You Chun Neng Myun (135 Broad Ave)
Another noodle shop, but this one has what I think may be some of the best Neng Myun in the area. Again as the name suggests the best dish at this house is the Neng Myun (Cold Buckwheat Noodles). However unlike most Neng Myun that is commonly served in the US, the noodles here also contain some arrowroot (chic) in addition to the buckwheat.

If you want a more generic Korean Food experience, you might want to try San Chon (Ft. Lee Plaza, 1550 Lemoine Ave, Fort Lee). They have a nice Korean Style Prix Fixe Menu (Han JungShik) where you can choose a variety of dishes for only $29.99 per couple.

I get a low fat pie from my food delivery service that has tomato sauce, artichokes, olives, red peppers, mushrooms, and a little goat cheese. Great combo.

I just ate the most spectacular dinner at Angelini Osteria in L.A. The pizza came with an ethereal crust, the freshest tomato, arugula and luscious shavings of parmesan. Very light! Keep the ingredients super fresh and the taste will WOW you.

Purple onion, sliced thinly. When they start to brown, add several glugs of good Port. Continue cooking until soft. Add chopped walnuts. Cover pizza, then put on about 1 cup of baby arugula. Top all with a little parmesan or goat cheese if you have it. Salt & Pepper.

Sounds weird, tastes great.

Barbeque it with chicken, feta and pesto sauce. It's incredible.

Pre-cook the crust, cover with ricotta (mixed with lemon zest or fresh herbs) and warm, then add chopped smoked salmon and arugula. Or steamed asparagus. Or maybe add some mint to the ricotta and use peas.

We make something we've dubbed 'Bruschetta Pizza' which features chopped plum tomatoes, minced garlic, salt, pepper, fresh basil and a little bit of olive oil.
