Peaking into my organic herb garden this weekend, my husband and I noticed the oregano is abundant; so, I suggested we find a new recipe that calls for some of our favorite, fresh spices. I am a pizza loving vegetarian, so when I spotted this recipe from the Compassionate Action for Animals, I said, “Let’s give it a whirl.” And so we did! Here’s how we made our quick and easy vegetarian pizza:
Ingredients
Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat Pizza dough
organic tomato sauce
vegetarian cheese (contains milk and soy but is lactose and gluten free)
fresh herbs
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Roll out pizza crust. Create a circle or square crust.
3. Pour and spread sauce onto crust.
4. Sprinkle vegetarian cheese onto tomato sauce. We like cheesy pizza, so add cheese to your preference.
5. Sprinkle your favorite herbs onto the cheese. I love oregano and basil.
6. Slide your pizza into the oven and bake for 8 or 9 minutes.
7. Serve up yummy slices of cheesy vegetarian pizza. Delish!

Yum! I hope Matt appreciates all the cooking you’ve been doing lately!
Absolutely! Actually it’s his hand in the photos, so guess who’s doing a lot of the cooking! Aren’t I a lucky gal?
On another note, our family is trying to cook more often because we tend to eat breakfast for dinner most nights (because it’s fast and easy). After learning that Annabelle is a bit on the slim side, Matt worried that she needed to eat more well rounded meals. So, now we’re making an effort to present delicious omnivore and vegetarian meals each day. We’ve noticed she’s getting adorable arm rolls since we started our new meal plan.
I love home made pizza…I love pizza…that looks yummy.
Yum! Summer is the time to enjoy more vegetarian meals, even if you’re not vegetarian, because they’re so delicious and the fresh offerings are abundant. I can always remember my Mom saying (when I was a kid growing up on my parents’ farm)that when we had fresh corn-on-the-cob in the field and tomatoes on the vine to pick every day, she could just live on native tomatoes and corn, and I think we did, many hot, summer days! Tomato sandwiches, sometime w/ cukes and maybe cheese, with a side of corn are some of my favorite summer meal memories!
