Redux Pizza Crust: Barbara & Roger Style  We have become more diligent in our household to find healthy, tasty alternatives to some foods that we enjoy, pizza is one of them.  Years ago, Barbara & Roger, our friends and fellow members, posted a healthy crust sans flour.  I followed the instructions of mixing 8 ounces of fat-free cream cheese, 8 ounces of low fat grated Parmesan cheese with 2 eggs, spread it on parchment paper and put it in the oven for 20 minutes on 350 degrees.

Almost every buyer I work with in St. George arrives from somewhere more expensive, and property tax is usually the first number they ask about.
