Making Pizza Healthy

P izza is one of my kids’ favorite foods. And they are not alone! Research says that kids ages 3 to 11 prefer pizza over any other food groups for lunch and dinner…and each American eats about 46 slices of pizza a year!* Despite its popularity, however, pizza doesn’t have the greatest reputation as a “healthy” food. But, with the right tricks and recipes, it can be a great source of whole grains, protein and vegetables!

*Source: pizza.com

Here are some tips and ideas to make pizza healthier:

• Make pizzas on whole-grain tortillas, naan and flatbreads.

• Use lean meats for toppings.

• Stick with real, part-skim mozzarella cheese.

• Load it up with veggies—peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms…even broccoli…and so on!

• Watch out for the high-fat topping options. (Sorry, pepperoni!)

• Also, watch out for the high-fat, creamy, Alfredo-type sauces.

• Stick with thin crust instead of original or deep dish.

• Try making your own crust with cauliflower or quinoa. (These types of crusts can also be gluten free!)

Menu Ideas:

• Taco Pizza with lean beef and avocado

• BBQ Chicken Pizza with red onion

• Buffalo Chicken Pizza with hot sauce and blue cheese (My favorite!)

• Balsamic Chicken Pizza with black olives

• Stir Fry Pizza (Stick with a low-sodium teriyaki or Thai sauce.)

• Greek Pizza with spring greens, olives and feta cheese

• Breakfast Pizza with eggs, ham and veggies

• Fruit Pizza

A RECIPE FOR

Better-LookingCarpets

5 ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS for a successful carpet care program identified by the Carpet and Rug Institute.

1. Soil Containment

2. Vacuuming

3. Spot/Spill Removal

4. Interim Cleaning

5. Restorative Cleaning

PROCEDURES from vendor partner Multi-Clean for making these “ingredients” work:

Maintaining your carpets starts with prevention. Use good-quality matting at entries to prevent moisture and dirt from getting on the carpet.

Regular vacuuming is the simplest and most important maintenance activity you can do to keep your carpet in the best possible condition. Ever wonder why worn carpet gets matted down and shows visible traffic lanes? It is the abrasive nature of dirt and foot traffic that actually causes permanent damage/fraying of the carpet fibers, causing them to lose their resiliency.

The faster you clean up spills, the less likely they will turn into permanent stains. When a spill occurs, blot up as much as possible with a white towel. Then, spray plain water through a spray bottle onto the area and blot again. Repeat the process until the towel comes up clean. If a chemical carpet spotter is needed, choose one that is appropriate for the type of stain. If you own a wet dry vacuum, use it to pull as much moisture out of the carpet as possible.

When vacuuming or spot cleaning isn’t enough, interim cleaning methods can be considered if the carpet is not heavily soiled. The most well-known interim method is old-fashioned bonnet cleaning. This method can be modestly effective. However, a new type of system called encapsulation cleaning is a more effective interim cleaning method that leaves carpets free of residues and actually removes dirt. The method uses a special polymer-based cleaner combined with agitation to loosen soil.

Extraction cleaning is still recognized as the only deep-cleaning method for carpets. Use a good-quality extractor that applies a cleaning solution and then picks up the soiled solution. Use a cleaning chemical that is safe for stain-resistant carpet and is designed for extraction cleaning.

EXTRACTORS

Clean Track® S16 (072842)

Clean Track® L18 (072855)

A self-contained, portable, compact, easily-maneuverable extractor with a 16- or 18-inch cleaning path as well as simple tank filling, tools-free brush and vacuum shoe removal and intuitive controls.

Marathon 800 (072450)

Marathon 1200 (072580)

Utilize a clever, patented internal bladder design system that maintains constant brush pressure on the surface regardless of the position of the water in the 8- or 12-gallon tank. A compact, user-friendly unit that allows for easier transport and storage and better sight lines for the operator.

Marathon 350 (072470)

Winner of the 2015 Distributor Choice Award! Tackles upholstery, staircases, drapes and other challenging cleaning applications with ease. It’s a highly-mobile yet powerful unit that can be transported from room to room rapidly.

CLEANERS & SPOTTERS

ECO2 Encapsulating Cleaner with Oxygen (011050 – 4/1 gallon) The ECO2 Carpet Cleaning System from Multi-Clean is a low-moisture system that encapsulates soil for easy removal and no residual. Hydrogen peroxide supplies oxygen (O2) to help destroy odors and power out soils, leaving carpets looking and smelling fresh. Carpets can be opened to traffic in as little as an hour because of the low-moisture procedure!

Extraction Low Foam Carpet Cleaner (011188 – 1 gallon) Extraction is a mild pH, low-foaming carpet cleaner containing detergents, emulsifiers and watersoluble solvents that will clean dirt, grease and stains to make carpet look like new.

Pre-Treat Carpet Pre-Spray (017190 – 1 gallon) A synthetic cleaner formulation used as a pre-spray for soiled traffic lanes prior to extracting or shampooing and highly effective when used for bonnet cleaning. Safe for use on commercial and residential nylon, including stain-resistant nylon, wool and polypropylene.

Back to 7 Carpet & Hard Floor Conditioner (012810 – 1 gallon) Neutralizes and conditions carpet. A mild acid formulation that neutralizes alkalinity in carpet caused by shampoo or hard water residues. Eliminates carpet browning or yellow discoloration. Removes de-icing salt residue found on carpet or hard surface floors during winter months. Can be used after stripping traditional floors to neutralize excess alkalinity.

Carpet Spotter (012946 – 1 quart) An all-purpose spotter formulated with detergents and fortified with solvents for removing a variety of common stains. It loosens spots for quick removal and does not leave a sticky residue behind. Use on greasy traffic smudges, shoe polish, ink, fruit juices and oily stains.

X-Ray Carpet Spotter (011130 – 12/1 quart) X-Ray is a ready-to-use all-purpose peroxide cleaner. The combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and biodegradable surfactants provides superior cleaning and deodorizing, yet it is environmentally responsible. This is a spray and wipe cleaner for all surfaces found in homes, offices, schools, industry and/or food service.

EasyPaks Neutralizer (011070 – 180/.5 oz) Neutralizes alkaline residue after floor stripping. Counteracts urine odors; removes white ice melter residue; even removes alkaline build-ups and odors from mop heads and floor pads. This easy-to-use, pre-measured packet dissolves in warm/hot water.

There are “parades” of people marching and moving in your senior living community. However, a parade left without a leader can quickly scatter and go off-course. Every parade needs someone to get in front of them to guide them and keep them on the path.

We don’t have to have the word “leader” in our job descriptions in order to lead people. Whatever the role, exceptional leaders engage employees to create change in their communities and make leaders out of followers.

Wondering how to be a great leader? You aren’t the only one. Keep these things in mind:

Training employees effectively sets them up for success. The skillset that most foodservice workers are starting with today is not as developed as it used to be for many reasons. Staying at that level of skill is not acceptable. Provide training and tools for your employees to understand and grow as foodservice workers.

Engaging employees means more than supervising employees. You need to cast a vision with goals for your department and ask for their help to achieve those goals.

Learn to speak their language. There will be some people on your team, for example, who need to be given clear direction with deadlines. Others do well with less direction. You will better engage and retain employees if you learn how to communicate with each one individually.

When you need to provide a critique, give employees ideas for how to improve. Try to provide two or three suggestions for how they might achieve an expectation.

Remember to pass the problems as well as the compliments. Are you ever at a loss for how to solve a problem? Often times, you can really benefit from asking your employees how to solve it.
