Pizza

Friday night is always pizza night at our house!  We love piling the top with fresh veggies.  Spinach makes a delicious base right on top of the sauce.  Whole wheat works with the crust and gives it a tasty crunch. 

Ingredients:

• tomato sauce or pesto sauce or tomato pesto or BBQ sauce
• pizza dough

Toppings:

• chicken: grilled, roasted, slow-cooked, or canned (it's a great alternative to fresh--give it a try)
• pepperoni
• cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan) 
• BBQ black beans
• greens
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• peppers
• onion
• zucchini
• mushrooms
• olives
• sundried tomatoes (blend them fine for a delicious tomato powder)
• sprouts
• sliced tomatoes
• pineapple
• Canadian bacon
• taco beans
• fresh or dried herbs (basil is a favorite)

Directions:

1. Saute or roast your vegetables first for added flavor.  Also try blending some vegetables into the sauce (especially for picky eaters).  Top pizza and bake according to pizza dough directions.  
2. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
3. Also try crazy pizza bread.
