Game 12

Healthier than Delivery Pizza

Texans @ Packers

Pregame

Game forecast:  Green Bay kind of weather, 35 and snowy!

If field conditions are poor look for a low scoring game with a lot of running and short passes.  We hope QB 12 can keep his play at a high level with a questionable hamstring suffered last week.  Clay Matthews should play even though his shoulder is not 100% and expect Jake Ryan to be back after a few games out. 

The Texans have a decent defense even with JJ Watt(from Peawaukee, WI) out for the season.  Their offense has only scored 2 offensive touchdowns in 1 game and the have the highest paid most underperforming quarterback in the league, Brock Osweiller.  If the Packers control the clock and the turnovers, they should be able to corral the Texans easily. 

Recipe/Health Tip

Healthier than Delivery Pizza

Pizza is a staple for NFL gameday.  However, the pizza most people are eating is one of the worst foods as far as your health is concerned.  Pizza Hut, Domino's or Papa John's, not much difference as to how bad they are for you.  Loaded with cholesterol, saturated fat, and sodium from butter, cheese, oil, and meat. 

Give your heart and arteries a break by making this much healthier version of pizza.  Most people say time is the biggest reason they can't eat healthy. Buying this pizza kit will save you time, money, and your health.  We find this one at Costco for $9.99.(They recently switched to this brand but we liked the brand they had previous a little more)  It comes with 4 premade crusts and sauces.  

As far as healthy crusts and sauces go it is fairly good.  They use organic ingredients but the negatives include high salt, added oil, and sweeteners in the form of honey and sugar.  That said it is still a much healthier place to start than your local pizza chain.

Now that you have a good base to start with, all you have to do is pile on your favorite healthy veggie toppings and the combinations are endless.  Finish it off with some vegan cheese such as Daiya or Follow Your Heart mozzarella cheese, pop it in the oven for 10-12 minutes and you have quick, easy, healthier gameday pizza!

Game Recap

Packers win again 21-13!

This was a classic winter Green Bay game in the low 30's and snow throughout. With a slippery field, the footing wasn't great so it wasn't clean and precise. Just the opposite: dirty, sloppy, snowy, and cold.  Just what December NFL football should be!

The Packers offense played the best at the beginning and the end with a little bit of a lull in the middle.  Jordy Nelson had the best day but it seemed like every offensive weapon had at least one really big play to solidify the win.  The biggest thing was it looked like they were having fun and playing like a team.  It was great to watch, one of the most fun games of the year!

Next week is going to be a real tough game going to Seattle.  They need to keep the momentum rolling.

Be well,
