Delicious and easy vegan pizza!


Okay, it has been a while, I know. But my goal for 2011 is to update my blog once a week and have a website with my sis and cuz by the end of the year. :)

I went to my friend Heather's for a pizza dinner last night and made an amazing pizza! It took all my strength not to eat the whole thing in one sitting. Here's what you need:

-1 pre-made whole wheat pizza crust, preferably fresh but if not then thawed and rolled out.
-1/4 cup marinara
-2 tbps. corn meal
-olive oil
-1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach
-1 cup chopped swiss chard
-1/4 cup fresh basil
-One stalk green garlic, fronds cut off and diced (like a leek)
-Roasted garlic (I had a few cloves left over from the night before)
-Diced Zucchini
-Sliced bell pepper
-Diced olives

With the over preheated to 350 degrees, you lay out the crust on a baking sheet sprinkled with 2 tsp. olive oil and the corn meal. Then you top the crust with the marinara and turn in and pinch the sides of the pizza. I then put the roasted garlic cloves, spinach, swiss chard, basil, zucchini, bell pepper, olives, garlic and basil. Bake for 8 - 12 minutes. SO GOOD! Oh man, I'm having the last two slices for lunch and I can't wait. :)
