Dough-less Pizza

     The fun part about visiting my family in MD is that my parents are always up for trying new things.  I came across this recipe a while ago and mode it when I had a major pizza craving.  I loved how one serving filled me up.  My partner loved it so much he went back for seconds.  he may have also gone back for thirds!
