Copy-Cat Veggie Pizza

My place of employment features a pizza in which goat cheese and vegetables are involved. As a disclaimer to whom it may concern, this is merely an innocent attempt to make a similar dish in my own kitchen, and uses only my taste buds and imagination for guidance (not an employee ingredient/prep list!).

That being said, this pizza is incredible.

Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables- I used Red & Yellow Pepper, Onion, and Zucchini; some may enjoy the addition of eggplant, olives, mushrooms, etc.
Goat Cheese a small package will do
Mozzarella fresh grated or bagged
Pizza Sauce from a jar is just fine for me
Pizza Dough I use Pillsbury found in the biscuit and cinnamon roll making isle

Method
Begin roasting vegetables on a non-stick cookie sheet in the oven while you prepare the dough, or sauté for a few minutes in a skillet
...sprinkle with a little EVOO to avoid sticking

Roll out dough, spread on pizza sauce, and a little mozzarella

Top with veggies and crumbled goat cheese ( I used half of a very small package-a little goes a pretty long way.)

Bake following the directions of your pizza dough!

Enjoy!

Top with roasted veggies

Tips

"Goat Cheese?" you may have said to yourself...yes I know, for those of us who have been perfectly happy with mozzarella and pepperonis for our whole lives, we tend to shy away from fancy-shmancy pizzas with weird toppings and cheeses. Trust me though, if you have any tolerance at all for new flavors, this is one so worth trying. Goat cheese has a great flavor and is an incredible variant for Italian dishes

Easy Tomato & Couscous Chicken

This is a dish that is incredibly delcious and easy. The chicken basically poaches in the juices from the canned tomatoes which makes for an unbelievable level of moisture and juiciness retained in the meat. This is definitely for those days where you just don't have the will to do much more than open some containers and throw their contents in the oven, but it's good enough to serve to company.

Ingredient	Amount	Type	Prep
Chicken	about 1lb.	Breast/ Cutlet	Trimmed
Canned Tomatoes	15oz	Diced/ Stewed/ Flavored/ Whatever	Not Drained
Couscous	1 cup	Any (i love tomato basil)	Rinsed

Method

• In a 8x8 glass dish
  
• Lay down couscous, then chicken, and cover with tomatoes
  
• Cover in Aluminum Foil
• Bake for 30-60 minutes at 375

Tips

Experiment by changing up the type of grain and vegetable.

Try a mini pasta or rice

Rotel, a Cream Soup, etc...

Picture to come.
