I knew I was going to have a long day at work yesterday, and I wanted to come home to some nice comfort food. After a few emails back and forth Eric and I decided on pizza.
As I am sure you have noticed, we don't really eat conventional pizzas. First off, the veganism sort of eliminates that. And second, I don't even like tomato sauce. This makes us get creative.
We decided to use up some of our produce from this weeks CSA and settled on two different types of pizzas.
First up we have the radicchio pizza, based off a recipe from Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet. I have been wanting to make this pizza since I got the book, so I was excited when we got this weeks produce share.
Neither of knew what to expect, we have never had baked radicchio, but it was a pleasant surprise. It wilted some, but stayed crunchy. And obviously the pizza was topped with cashew cheese. It just gets so nice and crunchy when baked.
And to accompany that pizza we made kale pizza.
Kale is one of my top 10 veggies. I like it raw, massaged, baked or dehydrated. This pizza turned out delicious as well, the kale gives it a nice crunch.
And this was all washed down with a brewskie.
Need another reason to make pizza? The clean up is relative easy, which is always nice.
What's your favorite pizza topping? I'd love ideas for different pizzas!

i love pizza! we usually do 2 small ones since my man is a meat eater... he'll do veggie pizza for sure, but he doesn't like all the veggies i like, such as mushrooms. he also doesn't like tomatoes-- and i like it saucy, or with sliced tomatoes. ;)
my favorite toppings are yellow pepper, portabella mushroom, asparagus, broccoli, and avocado. butternut squash and caramelized onions with sage is also great, but i do that with goat cheese; cashew cream would probably be yummy as well.
kale pizza, i'll have to try that!
Those are some good ideas! Squash with onions sounds delicious.
You don't like tomato sauce?! Gah! Well, sometimes a garlicky olive oil base is even better, especially when topped with artichoke hearts and roasted bell pepper strips, my fave :]
I, on the other hand, hate kale! Nothing against it in particular...it's just a "leaf" thing I have =/
I can never say no to pizza and beer. The radiccio pizza looks lovely and it sounds like a fantastic idea!
nothing beats pizza and a beer. well okay, maybe a bacon cheeseburger and a beer, but still!
Wow those pizzas look great! It is good to see dairy free pizzas that look amazing!! Have a good weekend
mmmmmm. I love pizza. My pizzas always have cashew or macadamia nut cheese; tomato sauce, kalamata or sicilian olives and some sort of mushrooms. I want pizza now.
