In Crust We Trust

Summer Vegetable Pizza

With the sting of our recent disaster still hanging in the kitchen, we took on our next culinary creation, a summer vegetable pizza.  Lucky for us, this super fast and healthy pizza completely redeemed our confidence in the kitchen.  Fresh onions, asparagus, corn, and red peppers, piled onto a olive oil and garlic "sauce", and topped with mozzarella, made up this delicious pizza, at just around 380 calories a serving (2 slices)!

Slice onions, red peppers, and asparagus, then place in a saute pan with the olive oil.  Defrost corn and add to veggie mix. Add in garlic, salt, and pepper. Place veggie mix on the dough, then sprinkle with cheese.  Cook in oven for 15 minutes or until cheese starts brown, then let cool, and dig in my feastin' friends.
