More Pizza, of the frozen variety

If you have a lot of food allergies like I do, you know that pre-packaged foods are often 1) impossible to eat, 2) completely disgusting when they are possible to eat.

As my post earlier this week proves, I love pizza. Most days, I prefer to take the time to make a tasty pizza with good ingredients. But some days, all you have the energy to do is turn the oven on and stick something in it. These are the days when the Tofurkey Pizza steps up.

Now, the problem with fake cheese products (in my own very personal taste opinion) is that they don't taste like cheese. I guess this is OK if this is a limitation you've chosen, but when it's one your body imposes on you, it's not so great. I've now tried two varieties of the Tofurkey Pizza, and while the plain "cheese" was OK, the Pepperoni Pizza was by far the winner. Maybe because I like the taste of fake meat products better than fake cheese products? I don't know. But it was pretty good.

A little zingy, melty, pizza-like. And clearly produced by stoners, for stoners, since you have to preheat the oven to 420. Easy to make, yummy to eat, best when you don't feel like cooking and just need a frozen pizza.

I'm even having the leftovers for lunch!

Pizza!!I

I love pizza

I really love pizza. One of the sad things about being allergic to cow's milk is the utter lack of pizza delivery.
I make up for this by spending a little extra to make an awesome pizza at home.
I've recently discovered that Pillsbury (of all things) makes two kinds of dairy free pizza dough- the kind in the tube. I've tried both kinds, and prefer the "Classic" to the "Thin" because the thin is really hard to unroll and get on the pan evenly. I also pre-bake the dough- it seems to cook better pre-baked with the toppings on it.
This particular pizza has all sorts of garden goods on it- tomatoes, red peppers, and fresh basil. I also chop up spinach and mix it in with my tomato sauce, so it's well coated and doesn't burn.
I also advocate $$ cheese- in particular, water buffalo mozzarella. Tasty, delicious, not too strong (I realize that goat cheddar, which is also what I use, is an acquired taste.) Think of it this way- you're spending the money on cheese instead of delivery and tip!

So, this pizza recipe:
Pillsbury Classic Pizza Dough
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 medium red pepper, sliced
5-6 leaves of fresh basil, sliced
1 package fresh buffalo mozzerella
4 oz sharp goat cheddar, grated

Grease the pan, and pre-bake the pizza dough for 8 minutes. Chop the spinach and mix it in the tomato sauce, and spread the tomato sauce mixture on the pizza dough and add the toppings.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough edges are toasted.
Let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!!
