Zucchini, Corn, Poblano, and Cheddar Pizza

2013_05_22bAfter making the kale and mushroom pizza, I really thought I’d like this one better. But to my surprise, I liked the kale one better. Don’t get me wrong, this was quite tasty too. How can anything taste bad when it’s topped with cheddar cheese. I really liked how the vegetables were topped with an egg mixture making it slightly quiche like.

I’m sure I’ll make this again this summer with a bunch of garden vegetables, and maybe I’ll try making my own crust too.

Portobella & Kale Pizza

This called for roasted garlic, but instead I just used a ton of garlic. I do want to make this again actually roasted garlic, because I usually don’t have fresh garlic on hand.I also nevmake my own pizza crusts. Not yet anyway. I usually just buy the pre-packaged Meijer brand organics pizza crusts. They aren’t anything special, but they get the job done.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this a lot or not, but I really liked it. The kale wasn’t too bitter either. Simple and tons of garlic. Ellie picked off the green but ate the mushrooms.This was a winner in our book.

Indian Cauliflower Pizza and Lentil Soup

2013_03_08a This was really simple to throw together and very tasty. This was a nice take on pizza. You could probably use different vegetables and throw on some chicken if you want.

I used a pre-baked crust and a jar of tikka masala for the sauce. I have enough ingredients to make this again next week, and I’ll do that for sure!

I’m not a huge fan of lentil soup, but after using lentils earlier in the week I figured I could give it a try again. I found this recipe from Alton Brown that seemed easy enough. And to my surprise, I really liked this. It was very filling and had great flavor.

I used vegetable broth and left out the “grains of paradise, ” because I didn’t have any and I’ve never heard of them. This recipe also makes a huge batch, so if you’re not wanting a ton, maybe halve the recipe. I was hoping for leftovers to carry us through the weekend though.

Summer Grilled Vegetable Pizza

This was very simple! I didn’t really grill the vegetables though, I put them under the broiler instead. We don’t have a grill. Can you believe it? Anyway, I will definitely make this of something like this again once the veggies from my garden are ready to pick.

I didn’t eat this, but considering there was no leftovers when I got home, I’m assuming Ellie and Aya tore it up.
