Every week, I lead a weight management support group at the YMCA. I always bring in a new recipe or food item to taste test. I think it makes the class interesting and allows for some food conversation. This past week, I served a pizza hummus with pretzel sticks and pita chips and it was a hit! I would definitely serve this recipe warm (unless you like the taste of "cold pizza"). It's a great quick snack to satisfy the cravings. Hope you enjoy as much as I did!
