"Eating healthy is always a noble effort to undertake, but we all know it’s not as easy as it looks. However, you can take a tiny step in the right direction by trading your standard wheat crust pizza for these eggplant pizzas. They’re also a great way to convince kids of the manifold wonders of vegetables."
