I have to admit I had a few reservations about making a pizza without cheese. I nearly caved, especially when I made the rest of the family the pizza below.
I was really suprised with the taste of my pizza and I have to say, I didn't miss the cheese at all.
Is there a substitute available for cheese, or is it best to just go without?
My healthy pizza is heated and spread with a bit of garlic, topped with some grilled veggies and with a bit of fetta on it. It would probably taste okay without cheese though, just the veggies don't stay on the pizza very well...
Hi Sue - yes, I too would rather pay more for fresh produce than processed. A lady in town is in the throes of holding an 'expression of interest' meeting to start a SA Weight Watchers group here. I said I would be happy to help her. Mainly a healthy eating group, sharing recipes and tips for cooking real food (using some of Annette Sym's recipes as well as WW). It would be great if we could get a walking group happening too! I stared into my pantry yesterday and I have decided that I must stop with all the processed stuff. Have you noticed your children are more calm, better behaved because of less sugar and preservatives? I bet they are. My problem is I only have one child home so if I cook something, someone has to help her eat it (slice/cake/muesli bars)!
I'm doing Heather's 30 Day Vegan Workshop too and pizza is one of the things I've really been craving. I made pizza for my family the other night (I must have been crazy) and it was so hard not to have a slice. Would you be able to share how you made yours? As Tania said in a previous comment, how do you get the veggies to stay on?

That looks great Sue. I've never had avocado on pizza, must try it one day.
ReplyDelete@ Tania, there are cheese substitues available, however they are soy based and more processed that I would care to eat.

Oh Sue, well done! I've never done pizza without cheese but that looks tempting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOhhh brave, I don't know if I could forgo the cheese. I understand your initial hesitation.
