I was hesitant to even look at this recipe, but I did and I'm glad! It actually looks good, healthy, and fun! Unfortunately for me we've eaten all the Pizza Veggie Stix we won, and they aren't an option where we live. Guess I"ll have to buy some more on-line. Thanks Lauren - I can't wait to try this!
