Here I was, drooling over my new-to-me clothes and shoes — from a local garage sale event that lasted all weekend — and I realized that I never posted about some food I drooled over not too long ago! I tantalized you, teased, mentioned it and just never posted!
Well, the pictures aren't fabulous, but here you go:
 |
| Green and red bell peppers, summer squash, zucchini, tomato, onion, mushrooms |
 |
| Vegetables roasted to perfection with salt, pepper and olive oil |
 |
| Whole wheat pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, roasted vegetables, pepperoni |
Roasted Veggie and Pepperoni Pizza! Yum yum yum!
Basic pizza dough — substitute 1/2 of flour with whole wheat flour
Fresh vegetables, roasted to taste with a little olive oil, salt, pepper
Tomato sauce with fresh basil (fresh from the garden)
Mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni to taste
Assemble and bake for about 20-30 minutes at 475 degrees. Less time needed if using a pizza stone. Perfect.
Pizza is one of the easiest things to make. Throw the dough together the night before and you can have easy-peasy pizza. Same night, it takes hardly any time at all. And it's delicious and with whole wheat flour and garden fresh vegetables, it's completely nutritious.
Add a 6- to 9-mile run right before it and it's just the right balance of calories and carbs.
So, the next time making a meal that's good for you sounds like a drag, whip up a quick batch of dough and make the perfect pizza. Try toppings like a drizzle of olive oil and basil with fresh chevre or feta and tomatoes. Or pesto with parmesan and zucchini — a great way to use up the last of the summer's produce if you were the idiot who planted more than 1 or 2 zucchini plants. Pine nuts, olive oil, feta, spinach and mushrooms make another great pizza. Yum yum! WHAT ARE your FAVORITE TOPPINGS?
Ciao,
