As most things do, red wine pairs fabulously with Skinny Pizza, my co-worker informed me. PHOTO BY KENDALL ROMERE

Not quite sure why Romney and unicorns came to my mind, but they did, so let's just move on.

Anyway, hey! Hope you're enjoying your day. And I hope you're ready for two words I never thought I'd hear together: skinny pizza -- like, just 315 calories for the whole thing!

A lovely co-worker passed along a recipe for reduced-fat, reduced-calorie pizza, which she was raving about a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait to try this.

SKINNY PIZZA

Pizza sauce:
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 packets Splenda
Onion powder
Pizza seasoning
The Spice Hunter's Garlic Herb Sensations (salt-free)
Italian seasoning

Flat bread pizza:
Flatout Light flat bread
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
17 slices turkey pepperoni
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup green bell pepper
2 tablespoons black olives
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a small bowl, miss the tomato sauce, Splenda, onion powder and other seasonings together.
3. Spread the pizza sauce over the flat bread. Then, arrange the pepperoni, green onion, pepper, olives and mushrooms as you wish, followed by the cheese.
4. Place flat bread pizza on a cookie sheet or pizza stone, and bake for 8-10 minutes
NOTE: My co-worker friend said she also bakes it in the toaster oven until it smells done. "Really, it is 'til the cheese is melted, and it is as crisp as you like it. My son likes to roll it up like a soft taco. I like mine crisp, but my husband likes his nearly burnt. Each to their own liking."

Plus, if you add a mixed side salad (skip the cheese and croutons) with some of that Wish-Bone Salad Spritzer stuff, it still keeps the whole meal below 400 calories -- unless you add a glass of wine, but that's still less than 500.

Let me know if you bake it -- and send me pictures! Or an actual pizza, whatever you prefer.

Peace, love and GOP-friendly unicorns ... XOXO

BeeGee (last year)

I'm confused by step #2 in the recipe where we are to "miss the tomato sauce...". Can you explain? :-D

C.R. Delough (last year)

He didn't say how much Onion powder, Pizza seasoning (what pizza seasoning?) or The Spice Hunter's Garlic Herb Sensations (salt-free) Italian seasoning to use either. I'm guessing JAW isn't much of details kind of man. Enough of that red wine though, who cares? Maybe he had a few glasses before he wrote this piece.

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
