Crazy Pizzas

There was such a variety of fun, tasty, pizzas! I heard it was a blast!  Vickie Burke talked about the overuse of salt in our everyday diet which leads to disease and illness.  Did you know that more than 98% of Americans overuse salt? She spoke of using herbs to flavor foods instead!

I was not able to attend, so please leave comments below for others to read about different things you really enjoyed or learned!
