Happy birthday to your new 6 year old!
And what is bruschetta pizza?
it is deliciousness!
start with a hearty whole-wheat crust...add cheese and sausage, but no sauce...then when it comes out of the oven, completely cover it with diced tomatoes + basil. hoping to post the exact recipe later this week - but you could easily wing it if you're impatient :)
