    Julie Morris presents what might be the healthiest “pizza” ever! Kids love making this fun Watermelon Pizza (at top), and you may find that you do too. Although the recipe calls for specific amounts and ingredients that go nicely together, the truth is it’s highly flexible, and you can easily omit, swap, or add favorite fruits and ingredients.
