Veggie Pizza

Okay, you caught me, Jesse and I are on a diet.  It's really more of an eating healthy trend than a diet...except that I can't eat cookies, which feels like torture, which feels like a diet.  Anyway, our goal was to eat all of the things we love, like pizza, but healthier versions of them.  Insert: Veggie Pizza on whole wheat crust (which was way better than I expected).



Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (Whole Foods makes a great one)
Mozzarella Cheese
Goat Cheese
Pizza Sauce
Plum
Zucchini
Summer Squash
Broccoli
Red Bell Pepper
Jalapeno
Salt and Pepper

Heat oven to about 425.  Spray a little cooking spray on a baking sheet and stretch out your dough.  Add a little bit of pizza sauce in a thin layer on top of the dough.  Add shredded mozzarella cheese, also just a thin layer on top of the sauce, remember, you're on a diet.

Chop the veggies into very small pieces, about the size of a corn kernel.  If they are too large they will weigh down the pizza and when you pick it up it will flop down and everything will fall off...big pizza fail.

Add all of the veggies, sprinkling them evenly over the pizza, then drop the goat cheese in small clumps over the veggies.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.

This pizza is awesome because the plum adds a bit of sweetness, the jalapeno adds a bit of spicy, and the goat cheese adds a lot of delicious.  Jesse was skeptical, but I convinced him after the first bite.
