Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Whole wheat flour used to make whole wheat pitas is a great way to help fill your day with fiber. Fiber works to maintain your digestive system by keeping things moving.
  • tip 2
    Get kids involved in making their own pizzas. Let them select favorite healthy toppings, such as mushrooms, pineapple or chopped tomatoes.
