Yummy Pizza

This is one of my favorite things to do with spinach and tomatoes.  I used to like pizza a lot. When you have children who want to eat it all the time pizza doesn’t sound so good anymore.  This puts a healthy twist on the pizza.  During the summer we like to grill this type of pizza and it is so yummy.  Since it is still too cold to grill outside we made due with the oven.  Instead of a tomato sauce we use a mixture of garlic and olive oil.  then we layer a little mozzarella , chopped fresh spinach, and sliced tomatoes.  We top all of that off with a little more cheese.  Put it in a 500 degree oven and bake for about 8 – 10 minutes.  We have to make a separate pizza for the kids (normal pepperoni and cheese), but Corey and I really enjoy eating this one.  I need to make it clear that I didn’t use tomatoes mentioned in the previous post for this meal.  I actually used the tomatoes from last week.  Tomatoes are high in Vitamins A and C.  They are also a good source of potassium.  Spinach is high in fiber, Vitamins A and C, iron, and folate.  It is also a good source of magnesium.  Your body needs iron for healthy blood and normal cell functioning.  Magnesium is necessary for healthy bones.
