I got to try out the new Microsoft Band thanks to my work. . . here is what I thought Everyone that knows me knows that I don't care much for Fitness Bands and instead prefer to have the fitness clip ons.

As me and Eddie are practicing portion control and trying to eat less calories I have been making a lot thinner pizzas - in turn I have a ton of pizza dough left over Rather than throwing it out or making another pizza I decided to make a loaf of bread for Sandwiches during the week cause Pizza dough is basically bread dough right? Either way it turned out so good I couldn't stop eating it!!! Loaf of Cheese Bread Ingredients: Pizza Dough Olive Oil Cheese Greek or Italian Seasoning Directions: 1) Pre Heat oven to 375 degrees 2) Form Pizza Dough into a Round Loaf place on Pizza Stone and top with a drizzle of Olive Oil 3) Top with Cheese and Seasoning 4) Bake for about 25 minutes or until dough it light brown Here's a Yummy Sandwich I make with the bread - Grilled Chicken, Pesto, and Motzarella
