Weeknight Dinner: Gorgonzola & Veggie Pizza
Homemade pizza was always a treat in our house; sure most weekends we got a pizza or two for our family, but the times when Mom would make her homemade pizza, well they are some of the best dinner memories I have. Now that Mom and Dad really watch what they eat and take care of themselves, they treat themselves to pizza a whole lot less. Not like John and I’s Friday night pizza nights that are practically a religion unto themselves at our house.
Last week, Target had dishes on sale and Mom was all about buying herself some beautiful new pieces. Of course, everyone thought the same thing and they were sold out everywhere. We finally went to another store to find them (where they conveniently matched competitor prices). Well right next to her dishes (I bet this was NOT a coincidence) was this gorgeous cast-iron pizza pan. I had to have it. I would have bought it, too, but the price stopped me.
Gorgonzola and Veggie Pizza
Serves: 3 (12-inch pizza)
1 Mom's Pizza Dough
2/3 cup Gorgonzola cheese
1 tomato, diced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oregano
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out the pizza dough. Top with half of the cheese; and the tomato. Top with onion and garlic. Then layer zucchini slices. Sprinkle remaining cheese and oregano over the pie. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until crust is nicely browned. Serve hot.
Enjoy your springtime weekend!
Until the next time my oven is on...

Oh I love the sounds of this. Stilton and Gorgonzola are quite similar and since I have a little extra Stilton in the fridge, I'm going to have to give this a try. Love the veggies with it too.
