Vegan food is so healthy! I used to think it was weird not to eat animals. Now, I feel much better when I don't eat them. The more I learn about the way food is commercially processed and how what we eat impacts our health, the more committed I become to a plant-based diet. This is a collection of the recipes I make for my family. I'm continually adding and making changes, so be sure to check back often! :o)

Pizza
Yeah, right, pizza on a vegan diet? You might be surprised. Pizza doesn't have to consist of fattening cheese, pepperoni and sausage, nor do you have to eat 400 calories in crust alone. This spiffy version of pizza is not only completely adaptable to what you have in your refrigerator, it's also incredibly healthy. The kids can even help out by adding their own toppings.
6 whole wheat tortillas (NOT low carb)
6 T. marinara or vegan BBQ sauce
Pizza toppings for 6 individual pizzas - think mushrooms, broccoli, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, spinach, artichokes or even beans! You are only limited by your imagination.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet or pizza pan, cook each tortilla for 2 to 4 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Watch closely so they don't burn.
Spread 1 T. of sauce on each tortilla. Add toppings. Be careful not to overload the toppings because the crust is so thin. Bake for an additional 2 to 4 minutes or until toppings are heated through. Cut each pizza into fourths and serve immediately.
Makes 3 2-pizza servings.
Note: Unless you have an unusually large oven and an unusually plentiful supply of baking sheets, it is probably necessary to cook the pizzas in batches. Keep them warm by placing the completed pizzas on serving plates and covering loosely with foil until all pizzas are finished.
Variations: Play with your sauces! Use a creamy garlic, vegan alfredo, or even chili to spruce up your pizzas.
