This is a light pizza dish that can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer. I make my own pizza crust, but you can also buy pre-made crusts at the grocery. Also, some restaurants actually sell their dough balls.

I love to cook. I’m also a health coach, a path I chose after going through a health crisis which taught me the importance of eating healthy meals. Now, I want to combine the two — health coaching and cooking — to help people learn to cook healthy meals. To plan healthy meals. And to eat healthy meals. For more, please visit Your Cooking Coach.
