What to keep in your car

I recently had the task of stocking a new car with everything I'd need. These are some basic things you should probably keep in yours.

• Water (at least a couple bottles)
• Granola bars (for low blood sugar or snacking if you need it)
• Gum or mints (when you need something in your mouth)
• An umbrella
• A first aid kit (!!!)
• Pepto bismol and Ibuprofen (and carsickness meds never hurt)
• (If you're female) Tampons, pads, and a change of underwear just in case
• Spare change (stupid parking meters)
  Insurance card
• Batteries
• Flashlight
• Tire gauge
• Tools for changing a tire
• Kleenex
• A phone charger for your car
• A card with important info/phone numbers. I took a notecard and wrote down important health information like allergies and medical problems and all important phone numbers I might need if my phone is dead, put packing tape (the clear stuff) on it to waterproof it, and I keep a copy in my glove box and my wallet
• A pad of paper and a pen or pencil

Delicious low-cal "pizza"

Whether you're on a diet or you just want more nutrients than a pizza oozing grease this is a great and delicious recipe. You can really substitute any vegetable, I just like spinach and onions :)


1whole grain flatbread, I chose Flat-out brand
2C shredded spinach (frozen)
1/2C onion, diced
1/4C low-fat cheese
0 Calorie butter spray
Tomato paste (I used about a third of a small can, a little goes a long way)
Salt and spices to taste.

Spray the butter spray on the flat bread (not too much, it says 0 Cals, but that's only because of the serving size). Put the flatbread on a baking sheet and spread with tomato paste. Sprinkle with salt and spices (Italian seasonings work best). Spread the spinach evenly over the tomato sauce, and then add the onions. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes (really any temperature will work and just bake until done).
Enjoy! (And don't feel guilty, the whole thing is only about 300 Calories!)
