Pizza is one of my favorite ways to eat veggies that are difficult for me to eat by themselves. I love adding mushrooms (one food I am still learning to like), black olives (that I love but often forget about), and red bell pepper. All three of these foods are power houses of nutrients, and…

Veggie Breakfast Tacos
These breakfast tacos are surprisingly delicious!
