Okay, I confess, There's a secret affair that I've had a hard time getting rid of and ignoring. It's...pizza.
Pizza and I go way back-- during college and before marriage to my best friend (yep that's a long time ago). I'd sometimes slip away from a yawn-worthy lecture, and venture to the local Mr. Gatti's where fresh pizza pie and The Little Rascals awaited me.
Unfortunately, now my indulgence of choice isn't kind to my body. One slice can make my rump resemble a pair of half-rotten watermelons, so I've been experimenting with healthier alternatives. The picture above is of an original recipe of mine, White Pizza With Roasted Tomatoes (Pizza Bianca con Pomodori Arrostiti). Kids like it, and I'd like to place the recipe in my upcoming cookbook. But here's the problem, it serves 6, and has a whopping 503 calories a slice.
So, I'm appealing to you. How would you make this healthier and keep it kid-friendly?
