Greek Pizza

Sorry I am now just posting this recipe. I know some of you asked for it earlier. It is super easy and very tasty and full of wholesomeness! My 8 & 9-year olds are not super fond of this style of pizza, but my husband and 11 (or as he likes to put it, "I'm almost 12!") rave about it.

Sometimes the tomatoes don't look that great to me in the produce section so I will just grab a can of diced tomatoes and drain a little of the juices. Also I think the kalamata olives are a must over the black ones.

Enjoy!
