Sorry I have been neglecting the blog - camera went MIA for a little while and so although I was cooking a fair bit, I didn't take any photos of it.
But I am back - welcome to 2009. I am going to try and be a little healthier in my cooking for the next little while (trying to shed xmas festivity weight).
But first - today Nat and I celebrated our 6month wedding anniversary!!! The time has just flown by.
I asked Nat what he wanted for dinner to celebrate and he wanted pizza. I had never made pizza before - and I had the recipe from VWaV so I decided to give it a go.
IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!
For all those people like me who think that pizza is too hard its not!! I don't like any of the soy cheeses available in Aussie and so I didn't think it would be so good without cheese - it was so yummy.
It is easy and so SO worth it. We are going to be eating pizza a lot more in this house (at least once a month) - and once we have got a few nice pizza combinations going we are going to have a pizza party!! I need to get another pizza tray first though!!
I used the VWaV pizza dough and sauce recipes and then topped it with the following:
sundried tomatoes
olives
onion rings
pineapple
kittee's seitan, cubed
capsicum
vegan parmesan cheese (I don't think this is necessary for a good pizza - we just had some in our cupboard)
BBQ sauce
mushrooms
The finished product - isn't it awesome!!
I would love to hear your favourite topping combinations for pizza (especially if you don't use fake cheese).
Have a great 2009

Happy 6 month anniversary to you both!
Your pizza looks awesome. I have given up on using 'cheeze' too because it is just not nice! I like Redwoods Cheatin' Chorizo chunks and pineapple on my pizza, and I also like to leave a wide crust (sauce free), which I then top with a little garlic and herb butter, so it's pizza and garlic bread in one.
If you are going to make pizza often I would recommend a pizza stone too (which are inexpensive, and are great for making your own naan and flat breads too).
Happy new year!
Happy Six Months! The pizza looks like a great way to celebrate :)
PS the security word that popped up with this comment is "elated"!! How fitting is that??
Happy Six months! Congrats to you. The pizza looks amazing. I agree...soy cheese is...yuck! who needs it?
Congrats again.
thinly sliced potato on pizza! also kalamata olives, and butternut squash puree for the sauce. yum!
The VWaV pizza is a staple in our house too. I mainly do mixed veg. Red onions, peppers and plenty of olives. My only problem is not being able to get it thin enough but I suppose that is practice.
Oh GAWDS!!!
That Pizza looks FAB and you have all my favourite toppings too!!
Happy New Year and Happy 6 month Anniversary!!
:)
