Saturday night pizza

After returning from a short but satisfying backpacking trip, we were completely out of food at home. I had planned Monday through Wednesday so well that we didn't leave any perishables to - ahem - perish, while we were away. I realize now that even better planning would have included some sort of freezer item for dinner when we got back, but the lack of food forced me to go to the grocery store, which I would have hated to do tomorrow. Anyway.

I found and modified* a pizza recipe from Real Simple that I never tried when I was going through their month of recipes earlier in the year because I skip over pretty much anything that calls for mushrooms and am intimidated by the thought of working pizza dough. But beer and pizza sounded too good to pass up for a relaxing Saturday evening. I got one of those premade pizza dough thingies, added zucchini, bell pepper, marinara sauce, plenty of fresh grated mozzarella, avocado and egg. I added the egg a bit too late so it was still a little jiggly, but didn't taste terrible. Next time I'd just add it at the beginning, since it only takes about 12 minutes for the crust to bake and the cheese to melt, and I think the egg would be just about done by then. I liked that the pizza was meatless, but still really filling.

Pretty, pretty pizza!

*modified, v: 1) didn't follow the recipe; 2) messed up; 3) made it my own.
