What's for dinner?

Prompted by emails from Mom (namely, what do you eat?), I'm gonna start a new series called "What's for Dinner?" I'll attempt to remember to post recipes (or tell where you can find it), as well as pics and comments on how it turned out. Here you go!

Tonight: Pizza!


I had a Whole Wheat Pizza Crust from Trader Joes, we made our own Pizza Sauce from Tomato Paste and Tomato Sauce (organic to avoid added ingredients) and random spices thrown in. First spread the pizza sauce, then top with veggies, such as broccoli, fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, bell pepper, and a couple of Morningstar black bean burgers. You can add whatever you want. After you take it out of the oven, top with Nutritional Yeast. It adds a cheesy flavor and is a good source of B-12. It was really delicious! Yum! This picture doesn't do it justice, but it was a good dinner. We ate half (2 pieces each) and have leftovers.
