Vegetarian Pizza...Sort of
I've been on a journey to eat healthier for well over a year now. I was not eating enough fruits and vegetables and oft got ill (flu mostly). Multi-vitamin consumption was haphazard. I decided that life could not continue like that, and thus began a turn-around.
It started with a relatively cheap smoothie blender (from Amazon.com). Since I found it difficult to eat fruits (not entirely sure why), I thought - why not drink them? I started with bananas and milk, then added papaya, and now I'm experimenting with various fruits and vegetables.
In keeping with my healthy theme, I later tried to prepare foods that are somewhat tasty but good for my arteries. I should add that a new stove (since Sept last year) was a booster of epic proportions (maybe an exaggeration, but hey). I find vegetarian dishes better in many instances. Today, that was particularly the case. I decided to try a veggie pizza. It was partly to appease a conscience which is recovering from some Christmas food (mostly cake) indulgence. And since my exercise routine has been severely reduced (knee injuring in trying to keep fit), something had to give.
Ingredients (in no particular order):
I also threw a cornmeal mix-up in the oven...was supposed to be a pudding. Won't show that picture, but it doesn't taste too badly :-). That's the more important part.
More experiments are in my future. I'm praying about what I will do for Lent, so this is likely a pilot of more to come.
