MrsDrPoe: Veggie Pizza

What's for Dinner this Wednesday?  How about some veggie pizza?  While Mr. Poe would politely pass on this dish, I love it, as well as its many variations.

Ingredients (per person): 1 pita pocket, 2 tablespoons olive oil*, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 2 cups chopped veggies*.

Heat the oil in a skillet over med heat.  Add the veggies and saute till tender (about 10 minutes):

Top the pita with the cooked veggies, sprinkle with cheese, and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 until the cheese is melted and the pita is slightly toasted (about 5 minutes).  Serve and enjoy!

Variations: spread pita with tomato sauce or creamy goat cheese before adding veggies.  Mozzarella cheese on top give this dish a more "pizza-y" feel.

*Here I used what I had on hand- lemon-herbed olive oil, squash and zucchini.  Typically I use regular olive oil, as well as mushrooms, onions, bell pepper, tomatoes, and asparagus in addition to squash and zucchini.

MrsDrPoe: Biscuit Pizza

Today is Wednesday. Wednesday nights are often difficult as far as dinner choices are concerned because we typically rush around trying to make it to the midweek Bible study on time. With this difficulty in mind, I present to you one of the easiest ways in the world to make your own pizza: biscuit pizza.


Ingredients: 1 (or more) refrigerated canned biscuits, 1 jar (or more) of your favorite pizza or pasta sauce, 16 oz (or more) mozzarella cheese, any additional pizza toppings your heart desires (we just went with cheese this time)


Remove biscuits from the can, and gently press or roll them out till they are approximately 1/4 inch thick. Place them on a lightly greased cookie sheet.


Top with sauce, cheese, and additional toppings. Bake according to the biscuit directions, checking periodically to ensure that the tops and bottoms don't burn. Remove from the oven and serve.

Attn Moms: These make GREAT party/sleepover dinners for children. Provide a variety of toppings so that each child can make his/her own the way he/she wants to. My mom did this for us when we were growing up - it was a cheap, fun way for her to feed a houseful!
