Making flavorful dinner can be easy! Some of you had a chance to try the teriyaki tofu recipe I shared earlier; some feedback I had received said that you don’t always have cornstarch or soya sauce at home to make Asian sauces. Well, today I’d love to share a super easy pizza that’s equally bursting with flavor. Basically, 3 kinds of veggies PLUS hummus and feta cheese on pita bread ! That’s it! No other condiments needed!

Now you may wonder, the recipe doesn’t even have added sugar, why does it show to contain 3 grams of sugar? Aside from added sugars such as honey, maple syrup, and cane sugar, “sugars” is also the name for all types of monosaccharides and disaccharides found in natural foods such as fructose in fruits and vegetables, and lactose in dairy products. When you read nutrition labels, don’t be alarmed when you see the word “sugar” on a Nutrition Facts panels in milk, cheese, or tomato sauce – it’s simply the naturally occurring sugar. The best way to check for added sugar, is to read ingredient list instead.
