PIZZA!

Many people with gluten and dairy restrictions feel they might as well give up pizza. I am frequently asked how you can eat pizza when you can't have crust or cheese! The answer is to have lots of other yummy toppings so you won't miss the cheese, and the crust becomes just a vehicle for these delicious toppings. Honestly, I have not found a great recipe for pizza crust or a great mix, or a great frozen crust. Once in a great while we have picked up a crust from Jules Thin Crust (www.julesthincrust.com) in Pennsylvania and it is really really crispy and tasty, but most of the time we get along with the frozen crusts (Glutino). We use Follow Your Heart vegan cheese which comes in a few flavors including mozzarella.

Here are some ideas for pizza toppings (have as many of them as you can fit on the pizza!). Please leave a comment with your great ideas for more toppings!
