Hi everyone,  

Excited to share first post for series #Delightfulrealfood.  

The First recipe in the series is dedicated to all cute, wonderful kids of world who love “Pizza” so much. 

I am sure like my both girls, “Pizza” is one of the most favorite food of most of the kids.  

But when it comes to providing nutrition or inclusion of healthy ingredients, “Pizza” is not a best choice for sure.  

My both girls love either Pappajohn or domino’s pizza so much and they used to eat it very often with their dad.  

Of course, it gives them temporary taste bud satisfaction but as a health-conscious mommy, it was a big no-no for me.  

So, I had decided to make their favorite recipe at home by using healthy ingredients and did a healthy makeover of “Traditional pizza recipe”.   

This pizza recipe is way healthier than “Traditional pizza recipe”. In this recipe, we will use many healthy ingredients and will turn a “Not so healthy traditional pizza” into a healthy and tasty treat for our little munchkins.  

My little one is a picky eater and she never accept any changes to her favorite recipes but you know, this time, she has liked this “healthy makeover” and approved this “healthy pizza recipe”.  

Really excited to share it with you all. Hoping you (and specially your kids) will like it.
