EatingWell's Pepperoni Pizza
From EatingWell.com
Pizza is usually so high in saturated fat and sodium that it has earned a top spot on the heart-attack-to-go food list. But our whole-wheat pizza, topped with a sauce that provides extra beta carotene and fiber (thanks to the addition of pumpkin puree), is both healthy and flavorful. We tested the recipe using low-fat turkey pepperoni, but try your favorite sliced vegetables as optional toppings.
