A Picture Perfect Pizza

Pizza is generally a high-saturated-fatty food, with a white flour crust. However, pizza still holds a great source of calcium, vitamin C, and vitamin A (beta-carotene), and even more nutrients if you can sneak some vegetables onto the pizza. Make it the occasional meal outside your home, though now there are whole wheat crusts and low-fat cheeses in your grocery store with which you and the children may create a homemade favorite for the whole family. Homemade pizzas are so much better for us!
