Let’s be honest here. Sometimes there are moments when I really do not feel like cooking. There I said it, even the Mad Batter has her moments.  There are times when life is so hectic, I don’t know how on earth I can possibly manage to squeeze dinner into the mix.  You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? The nights when you had to work over, or the way too many things are happening nights. The last thing on earth you want to think about is making dinner. Oh thank you, my pretty little round tortilla!! You see, the crust of the pizza is a flour  (or corn for GF) tortilla. Do you see where I’m going with this?  No take out…no high calorie pizza dough, but everyone is still happy. 🙂 To make this a tasty, good-for-you pizza. I start with an easy-peasy sauce  of crushed tomatoes and seasonings; then load it up, with a little cheese, and then a heaping pile of veggies: onions, tomatoes, spinach, sweet bell peppers. YUM!  They are kid-friendly, so bring in the troops to help assemble.  Everyone can  go wild making their own creation (another plus).   See, I told you this was easy!  Your problems are solved! (or at least what to have for dinner.)
