Roasted Veggie Pizza

I love pizza, it’s one of those foods that you can make as healthy, or as fattening as you like.

And yes, sometimes I want it full of fat! 

Today, I making pizza for my daughter. She never eats lunch at school because she thinks it’s completely gross!

Last week she told me her friend opened her fruit cup and it was full of mold.

My daughter stated her friend actually thought the mold was pulp, until my daughter knocked the cup out of her hand to prevent her from eating it!

So I create things like pizza for the week and we make all different types, but veggie is her favorite!

This pizza is so simple to create, with the help of store bought dough and sauce.

This is a 30 minute or less meal.
