Pizza That's Good for You
It's National Nutrition Month! Rebecca Katz's antioxidant-rich lunch recipe with its special cornmeal crust will become one of your favorites.
Don't let the winter doldrums get you down! Here's a colorful, healthy and delicious dish that's easy to prepare. Plus, it's got a tasty twist: cornmeal crust. The crust even has an added benefit: It won't get soggy when stored in either the freezer or fridge.
You can also customize the pizza toppings. I'm especially partial to rounds of zucchini or leafy greens like baby spinach or arugula on top of the sauce.
You can also substitute feta cheese for the suggested Parmesan or goat cheese. Any way you build it, it's a great meal.
Ingredients
1 package of 2 Vicolo cornmeal crusts (substitute your favorite whole-wheat or cornmeal crust)
½ cup pesto or chunky tomato sauce
1 big bunch baby spinach, roughly chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan or crumbled goat cheese, preferably organic
½ cup olives, pitted and sliced into rings
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Bake pizza crusts for about 5 minutes, or until golden.
2. Remove from oven and top with pesto or tomato sauce, spinach, cheese and olives.
3. Return to oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the toppings are bubbly and the cheese has melted.

Hi Rebecca,
You were just in Connecticut lecturing, weren't you, and I missed going because I forgot to write it on my calendar! I'm sorry and hope you come back again. Maybe you could post your travels and when/where you'll be giving a program. I'm trying to eat more healthy so you were the first person/ cook that I thought of...Thanks! Now I just have to get in the kitchen to try cooking...
Blessings,

Also, is there a way I can go just to your recipes without searching them all?
