Healthy Pizza!!

If there is one thing I love, that also makes me a little ninja turtle like....it is PIZZA.
I love, love, LOVE pizza! I also really love all of the changes I have made to my health and fitness, so typically these things don't go hand in hand.

After running errands all day yesterday and doing some art and science, the kids wanted pizza for dinner. Who was I to deny them this delicious food? I made them a deal...we could have a pizza night so long as 1) we put veggies on it. 2) we would get everything at trader joe's so that it was as healthy as possible. Yay, everyone wins! This too me about 30 minutes to prep and bake. Can we say quick and easy? Ya'll already know how I feel quick and easy these days. This recipe is for 2 flat bread pizzas. It was enough for the 5 of use with a couple of pieces left over (because the little ones don't eat that much). I served fresh fruit on the side for the kids and salad for hubs.

Ingredients

2 organic whole wheat lavash flat breads
1 jar of Trader Joe's pizza sauce
2 cups  shredded mozzarella (more or less)
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 cup mushrooms, diced
1 handful of spinach, chopped
1 cup chopped or crumbled turkey sausage
Turkey Pepperoni
* Any other toppings of choice

Preheat oven to 450.

I baked the flat breads in the oven for 5-10 minutes before actually making the pizzas to get the bread a bit toasted. Otherwise you will wind up with a soggy pizza crust. Who wants that? Gross.  I added the  sauce sparingly because with flat breads, if you add too much it will be to heavy or soggy. So just a thin spread of the sauce. Then you just assemble the pizza as you wish and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until the edges of the cheese just start to turn golden and bubble. Let cool and slice into 6 pieces per pizza and serve with a nice side salad.

Fix or Country heat count per 2 slices (or half a flatbread...I made mine and hubby's pizza 4 slices) would be 1 yellow, 1 red, 2 green (if you have a side salad), 1 blue.

The family loved it, and I'm happy that I made a dinner that hit the spot. I love finding ways to make comfort type foods health (ier) for us.
