I thought I’d share with you a new recipe for the week. Pizza is always a favorite among kids and adults. However we can’t eat it every day an expect to maintain our weight. Not to mention too much of a good thing isn’t always good. My kids love to make these Mini Healthy Pizza’s because they can each customize it to their own liking!

Thanks for the recipe. I am always looking for great recipes that have lower calories. I have been trying to lose weight for about a year now with not much luck.

Hi Colleen, just calling by Via Tuesday Blog hops. Diets and trying to watch what you eat is such a hard thing. I am really lucky in the fact that I don't need to loose wieght but I am having to watch what I eat because I am pretty sure that I am suffering from Candida. Which means I am suppose to cut out all sugars in my diet and even things that turn into sugar such as bread. It becomes hard to know what to eat. Which is one of the reasons I haven't really stopped eating those things. Goodluck. Hope you are having a wonderful week so far.

Hi! It's been awhile since I've been by. Just popping by to see how you are. Saw an old comment from you and remembered I hadn't been by. Then I wanted to give you a little award (it's posted now!). Recipe sounds great and don't sweat the gain. I have gotta get back on the bandwagon. I've gained back 10 of the 60 I lost so I need to get my lazy butt in gear!
