This recipe is amazing. I added my picture.<br/>I added mushrooms on my half. My husband loved it and hes very picky! -
I wanted to try something like this since I am doing the weight watchers program. I wasn't much of a fan of the spaghetti crust. I probably won't make this again.

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
