How to Cook Healthy Food for Kids: Make Healthy Zucchini Pizza




Zucchini is a healthy substitute for the refined flour that typically makes up pizza dough.  A special thanks to Sabrina Keller for introducing me to the following recipe for zucchini pizza:

The beauty about making your own homemade pizza is you can choose whatever toppings you want on your pizza!  Instead of the suggested toppings in the above recipe, I topped my pizza with pancetta and diced red onions.

For the chipotle barbecue sauce, I used a recipe from Kristen Leidelmeijer, the personal chef that teaches my patients how to eat healthier:
