I have a friend who approached me today and says about 5-6 years ago she went to a pc party in Wisconsin and that the consultant made a pizza type recipe that had fruit on it? She does not remember a lot but she thinks the crust may have been cookie, or graham crackers? She also said that the consultant said they could use veggies instead of fruit also. Not alot to go on but I thought I would throw it out there and somebody might know what she is talking about...:confused: :o

I gave it to her and she says it sounds real close, so maybe the consultant changed it up a bit and made it her own, But that is real close thank you so much!!!! The only thing she is worried about is the yogurt she doesn't think that was on it, but she is going to try.
 
I will check my cookbooks whenI get home in about 2 hours if noboby post a different one

That sounds like the Garden Ranch Pizza that used to be the "super starter" recipe for new consultants. I made that recipe so many times I could probably still make it in my sleep! ;) It's yummy, too!

Oh, wait, no that's not it - it's the "Cool Veggie Pizza" - duh! Made that a lot, too!
