Dinner on the Fly!

Source
Are you thinking about take-out again for dinner tonight?

I know you have a had a busy day, you are tired and the last thing you want to do when you get home is spend hours preparing a healthy meal for your family.

Making dinner doesn't have to be another chore. By getting the entire family involved, you can make a wonderful meal in 30 minutes.

But how do you find a dish that pleases both parents and kids? Its easy: PIZZA!

Here is a wonderful recipe for a simple Margherita pizza. If you are feeling ambitious, throw on some extra veggies such as broccoli, peppers and mushrooms.

Dough for one pizza

1 28-ounce (795-g) can peeled tomato, crushed
1 clove garlic, minced
6 basil leaves, chiffonade
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 lb (230g) mozzarella, shredded

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Lightly oil 17-inch (43-cm) pizza pan.

Spread the dough onto the pizza pan and top with half of the peeled tomatoes. Add garlic and basil. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake 10 minutes; then slide the pizza off the pan onto an oven rack and bake 5 minutes.

Slide the pizza back to the pizza pan and top with mozzarella. Bake until cheese melts (3 to 5 minutes).

Stay Healthy,
Tracy
