Pizza that will get your kids healthy again- ?

Most parents have at least one child who is not eating right. Well if they like Pizza, they can eat their vegetables.

In our house, we use a simple Pillsbury dough, and cover it with Wheat Germ before we pre-bake it. This will bring a host of nutrition to the plate without them tasting a thing. Wheat Germ is one of those Super-Foods that not only provides lots of nutrition, but aids in weight loss, lowering cholesterol, and improving cognitive function for those slow starters in the morning.

Once you cover your dough with wheat germ, prebake it a few minutes as directed, cover it with a quick homemade sauce that you made the day before. This sauce will ensure that your kids are eating all their vegetables, and enjoying it, too.

In a blender;

1 large can of crushed tomatoes

2 medium peeled carrots

1 green, red, or yellow pepper

1 small white or sweet onion

1 small bunch of spinach

Basil, Oregano, Thyme to taste

Blend these into a smooth sauce, and reduce it over heat until it is a consistency that you like for pizza sauce. This is not an exact science ~ If you are pressed for time, and want to thicken the sauce faster, just use more Wheat germ. This will improve the quality without altering the taste.

This is a sauce that we use around the house for pizza, pasta, and dipping sauce that has has a full dose of nutrition for even the pickiest eaters. Keep it on hand, and make it your own. You can add any vegetable you like, and when it is on pizza dough with a layer of Mozzarella cheese, cooked to a golden brown, your kids will never know they are eating their veggies.
