Pizza Works as a Tasty, Healthy Meal!

March 20, 2013 By Cindy Silver

Homemade pizza has personality, bursts with flavor and rocks with good nutrition!

Pizza Ingredients to Love!

What goes on top of your pizza crust? On mine, at the left, are these:

Layer 1: homemade basil pesto, spread on thinly

Layer 2: canned tuna, flaked apart with a fork

Layer 3: canned, quartered artichoke hearts, drained of water

Layer 4: fresh tomato wedges

Layer 5: Parmesan cheese, roughly grated, sprinkled on thinly

Pizza Meal-Makers to Add!

While you could rightly argue that all the nutritious food groups are sitting on this pizza, I still feel better and fill up better with a couple of side items at my homemade pizza meal. Normally, I go with a green veggie like steamed broccoli or sugar snap peas plus a green salad of some sort. The pizza is the center of my meal, though, and worthy. You will be amazed at the flavors of this simple recipe so please try it!

Families Love Pizza so Plan to Make One Soon!

Many families with kids and singles are pizza lovers. Instead of pizzeria pizza, which can easily go overboard on calories, saturated fat and salt, plan to make a homemade pizza with smart ingredients as a nutritious lunch or dinner. Next grocery shopping trip, put healthy homemade pizza ingredients on your list and then in your cart. Once home, you’ll have the fun of creating a meal the entire family will adore.
