I took the idea and ran with it. I changed the pizza dough to lowfat crescent rolls(rolled out ind. triangles) spray butter, not EVOO, lowfat ricotta, and traded cherries for blueberries &amp; strawberries! Took out alot of the fat, but left all the flavor w/ the orange zest, honey, rosemary, and made it sweeter by sprinkling some sweetner on the fruit to get juices flowing. Great for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat! <br />Kim Normal,IL
