I think it will be hard to find anyone actually. This eggplant pizza, for those that are on a gluten free diet, is just perfect. No bread included of any kind. Eggplants are the perfect vessel to place the tomato sauce and cheese over it. I actually had them as part of a sandwich.

We’ve tried to stick to salads at lunch with lots of protein, but we’ll be honest—some days it’s not enough.

This probably doesn’t come as a complete surprise. We enjoyed one this weekend after a six-mile hike, and we can say without feeling guilty that there were no leftovers.
