Meatza Pizza Grain-Free

Looking for a great summer meal for your kids?  Look no further because this one is a keeper and most kids love it.  I say most because I think everyone has at least one super picky eater in the family and all I have to say to that is "more for me!!"  I know that if he would take one bite he too would love it, so I haven't given up hope.  I made this for my 4 year olds birthday party and it was a hit with the parents as well as the kids!  I absolutely love making food for the Harkey kids because they appreciate good tasting food and when Finn's friend Cooper said "MMMMmmm this is good" my heart melted!  Thanks buddy!  I'm looking forward to sharing this one with my sisters and their kids.  The original recipe came from "The Secrets of Paleo Diet for Kids" by Ravi Kishore.  Keep in mind this has cheese in it so it is not 100% paleo but it is 100% grain free.  Hope you all enjoy this one as much as we do.
