    What could you have on the side so you can fill up? Raw bell pepers?

    I make a similar recipe but your portabellas instead of eggplant....so yummy!
    I also make a really lean meat sause for on top out of ground turkey.
    The kids can eat all the pizza they want, if i have a portabella pizza in front of me, i don't care!

    I don't have any recipes for eggplant, so i may try this one out instead of the mushroom! Thanks!

    This does so good. I have read that if you salt your eggplant after slicing it, and then lay that on paper towels for 30 minutes or so, it will wick out some of the extra moisture. I wonder if this might crisp up the outside more? How crispy was your eggplant?

    I found a really good pizza recipe, even my 3yr old ate it. It is Arugula, carmelized onion and goat cheese pizza from Ellie Krieger of Food Network. You should check it out. It called for 4 6in tortillas but I made it on a whole wheat pizza crust that I bought. It was yummy! 280 Cal per serving.
