Veggie Ranch Pizza
Because we care about our kids, the IISD
Food Service Dept. & the Texas Dept. of
Agriculture ”Square Meals” Food and Nutrition
Division are teaming together to bring some
delicious and healthy “kid friendly” food ideas
to your family. This recipe comes from *Belle
Pepper. Here’s a twist on a tomato based
pizza and use of a “reduced” or “no fat”
Ranch dressing decreases the fat even more.
Pick the best, pick Texas! Ingredients in bold
are grown in the Lone Star State. Spot them
at the store by looking for the GO TEXAN
logo. Be sure and let the kids help; besides
working on their math skills & having some
great quality time with you, kids that help
prepare a recipe are more likely to eat the end
results.
* I get my Southern Belle charm and great
smile by simply being loaded with good ol'
vitamin C. It's important for keeping my teeth,
muscles and blood vessels strong.
