Well, Christmas decorations are finally all down and put
away for another year. I do keep the lights up in the front yard during the
dark months though– so cheery and romantic to come home to a brightly lit front
door. Every time we pull in the driveway I say, “Honey, look how pretty our
house looks!” I never get tired of coming home. sigh.
Hopefully Santa and the elves were good to you? I was
fortunate to see lots of family over the holidays, my kids, my sister and her
family, and even my parents from far away Florida. (Hi Mom and Dad!) We ate. We
opened gifts. We sang carols around the piano. We ate some more. We laughed. And
we played games….. and by ‘played games’ I mean marathon hours of Yahtzee, Dominoes,
and Farkel.
My mom is trying to tell me an interesting story, but you can see I just want to play more games. |
I got a professional knife sharpener and have already cut my
fingers twice. Typical me. I also received
a lovely scarf and some books (“Chronicles of Downton Abbey” being a favorite.)
My daughter gave me two copies of “Chickpea Magazine” and I must say it is a
beautiful publication! This pizza comes from the Summer 2012 edition of the
magazine.
Here’s what
you need:
Your favorite
pizza dough
2 medium
zucchini – one green, one yellow
16 oz tofu
Salt, pepper
3 T toasted
pine nuts
¼ + 2 T
Tofutti Cream Cheese
2-3 T olive
oil
Here’s what
you do:
Slice your
veg super thin. Set aside. Make the cheese by blending the tofu, seasonings,
pine nuts and cream cheese in a blender or food processor. Drizzle in the olive
oil till smooth and beautiful. Spread the white cheese over the pizza dough in
a very thin layer. Keep it thin or your dough will be soggy. I think there is
plenty for three or four pizzas. Place the zucchinis in a pretty pattern over
the white cheese and bake! You could sprinkle salt and pepper and herbs over
the zucchini too. (450 degrees for 10 minutes….it really depends on how thick
your pizza dough is.We like ours very, very thin.) EXCELLENT!

Hi, Tracy
ReplyDeleteMy, oh, my, those pizzas look fantastic. I hesitate to add my very simple recipe, but I wanted to help "get the ball rolling" over here. :)
