Pizza, Pizza!
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 05/02/13 -- (Family Features) Who says pizza is just for dinner? With these recipes, you can get the family together and make pizza for dinner -- and breakfast, lunch or snacks. By making it yourself, you can save money and make it healthier.
"It's easy to turn pizza into a healthy meal. Use a whole wheat crust, garden fresh toppings like tomatoes from Florida, and serve it with a salad," said Chef Justin Timineri, Executive Chef and Culinary Ambassador, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
These recipes are not only kid-friendly to eat, they're kid-ready to make. Older kids can help slice vegetables, and younger kids can help make the pizza crust and add the toppings. Look for the "Grown-Up Alert" on each recipe for tasks adults should handle or help with.

Chef Justin's Tomato Tips for Kids
Never refrigerate a whole tomato. Storing in cold temperatures stops the ripening process and makes the flavor fade.
The best test for a great tomato is not color but aroma. Smell the stem end, and you should smell a strong sweet-acidic fragrance. Choose tomatoes that are plump, shiny and that give slightly when pressure is applied.
