Smoky Corn and Black Bean Pizza

Fresh vegetables mingle with barbecue sauce on this whole-wheat pizza, a lean alternative compared to take-out pies. This smoky grilled pie has a taste (and price) that neighborhood pizza joints can't match thanks to plum tomatoes, black beans, and corn cut straight from the cob.
