Where are my pizza lovers out there? It is probably my biggest weakness!! I swear I could eat it for every meal, every day of the week 🙂 In fact, if I was on death row and was choosing my last meal…it would be pizza!! Crazy I know for the “health coach,” but I can’t help myself…everyone has a weakness, right?

Now y’all know that I cannot bake! So I don’t even attempt to try to make my own, homemade pizza dough. Instead I run by the bakery of my favorite grocery store and pick up a pound of their fresh pizza dough. Just let it rise for an hour and roll it out, pre-bake and top with all these yummy ingredients and sauce, then finish baking until golden-brown.
