Summer Veggie Pizza

         Pizza...oh how I love thee. Pizza should be on top of the food pyramid. Could you
         eat it everyday? I know, I could...easily! I prefer lots of fresh veggies on top verses
         lots of meat! Summer vegetables are so amazing right now...take advantage and -
         make this. My favorite part is the corn and I think it will be your favorite part, too!
         It's also very healthy. Enjoy!
