Healthy Meal Ideas: PIZZA FRIDAY

Pizza is a crowd favorite. It's basically, all of the food groups wrapped up into bite. Here's a pizza dough recipe I've come to love.

 Five Food Groups:

• Vegetables and legumes/beans.
• Fruit.
• Grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties.
• Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds and legumes/beans.
• Milk, yoghurt cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.
