I am so excited to share this recipe with you!!!  It is THAT GOOD.  I'm a "everything in moderation" type of girl.  Dairy does not give me problems like some other people, so I'll have it in my diet from time to time.  I ALWAYS encourage whole foods over processed, but I do not enforce complete elimination of certain foods in my nutrition plans unless there are specific dietary restrictions or health problems that a client deals with.  You could certainly make this meal without dairy, and it would still be incredibly tasty, but the dairy gives it that "pizza" feel that I was going for.
