Meal Make-over Monday - Eggplant Pizzas

by on ‎03-26-2015 02:30 PM

In my never-ending quest to get the Littles to eat more veggies, this is one of my favorites!  What kid doesn't like Pizza?!?!?  Plus, they can add different toppings to "customize" the pizza bar.  This is the perfect Do-It-yourself meal for a Family Fun Friday or Rainy Day activity.  I have also done this for Girls Night and used Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella for a play on Margharita Pizza. 


BTW--- for all our Living for Me members, or if you're on the 21 Day Fix plan, I can fit 3-4 slices in one Green Container.  Hope you like it.  Let me know if you have any "Pizza Hacks" or other ways to sneak veggies into your meals....


Enjoy!
