Cool Veggie Pizza

Recipe by Pampered Chef


Did you know that I used to be a pampered chef consultant?  It was right after I married Josh and before we had kids.  I really enjoyed all their products.  There are a few of their recipes that I still use to this day. This cool veggie pizza may not sound appealing at first but I encourage you to give it a try.  Most people love it.  If there is something that doesn’t appeal to you, substitute it or remove it.
