Pizza Night

We've had a long running tradition of making our own pizzas at home rather than ordering out or using frozen. There's a ridiculous number of toppings, sauces, and crusts you can mix together for a perfect pizza that will satisfy anyone's palette. Some of our personal favorites are buffalo chicken, cheeseburger (complete with pickles!), and apple and Gorgonzola. Megan and I were looking through some old cooking magazines we hadn't used in awhile and found an issue of Vegetarian Times featuring an amazing looking veggie pizza on the cover. Below is a picture tour of our attempts to recreate it.

First up is my amazingly hot wife cutting up some veggies. We used zucchini, yellow squash, orange bell pepper, red onion, and grape tomatoes.



Here's a picture of all of the veggies used and the magazine cover that inspired us.



Then we made the sauce, which was made with garlic and butter instead of the traditional tomato based sauce.



Here's my pie rolling out the crust!



This doesn't really need a picture, but I love documenting our cooking experiences. Here's the lemon water we made (oh so refreshing!) to go with our meal.



After setting down the garlic sauce we made a thin cover of mozzarella cheese.



And laying down the veggie toppings...



Here's all of the toppings down, including the red pepper flakes on top to give it some kick.



And finally the finished cooked product, which was then devoured messily.




All in all, a successful meal!
