I prefer to have a whole wheat crust on pizza.  Let me explain why.  When you are trying to make a recipe healthier, it is hard to remove tasty ingredients and end up with something you love just as much. Continue reading

Vegetarian Cheeseburger Pizza

Vegetarian Cheeseburger Pizza by Alison's AllspiceFriends, today we are going to talk about one of my favorite things, vegetarian cheeseburger pizza!  The fresh toppings and ketchup-mustard drizzle make this pizza a fun eating experience!

The question you are asking yourself right now, is what do I use to make the vegetarian burger topping?  Lentils!  They may seem like a unusual pizza topping, but they work fantastically!    Continue reading

Gluten Free Pizza Crust

Gluten Free Pizza Crust by Alison's AllspiceI have many family members that eat gluten free, and they tell me the thing they miss most is pizza!  Well, I love to tinker with recipes, so I decided to created a gluten free pizza crust recipe that is just like a traditional thin Italian pizza!

When I was researching for this recipe, I saw that most recipe developers were using a gluten free all purpose flour mix.  Most mixes are slightly different, so if you didn’t use the same brand as the recipe developer, you might not get the same results. Continue reading

Homemade Pizza Sauce from Tomato Sauce

Homemade Pizza Sauce from Tomato Sauce by Alison's AllspiceI love to make homemade pizza, so I thought, why not the sauce too?  Pizza sauce is not a consistent recipe at all!  There are a million different ways to make it, and today I am sharing my homemade pizza sauce from tomato sauce recipe!

While doing research for this recipe, I found a lot of different sauce recipes.  Some used all tomato paste with water, some were no-cook recipes using canned tomatoes, and some used no seasonings! Continue reading

Roasted Garlic and Mushroom White Pizza

Roasted Garlic and Mushroom White Pizza by Alison's AllspicePizza is one of those dishes that I could eat every night of the week.  There are so many delicious variations, I just don’t get tired of it!  If this is you, too, then you better put my roasted garlic and mushroom white pizza on your menu rotation!

I am teaching a night class this semester, and this means the husband has to cook…  Translation: frozen pizza!  We have enjoyed some frozen mushroom and spinach pizzas, and I was inspired to make my own variation. Continue reading

Balsamic Tomato and Feta French Bread Pizza

Balsamic Tomato and Feta French Bread Pizza by Alison's AllspiceI developed this  balsamic tomato and feta french bread pizza recipe for winter, store-bought tomatoes that are less flavorful.

Winter tomatoes that didn’t get to ripen on the vine just don’t have the same flavor, or texture as fresh summer tomatoes.  A little soak in some balsamic adds sweetness and acidity to brighten those tomatoes right up! Continue reading

Very Veggie Spinach Artichoke Calzones

Very Veggie Spinach Artichoke Calzones by Alison's AllspiceWho’s ready for some very veggie spinach artichoke calzones??  Me!  Me, please!

Calzones are usually loaded with (delicious, ooey-gooey, high fat, not good for my waist-line) cheese.  In my version, I loaded them up with veggies for guilt-free satisfaction. Continue reading

Buffalo Cauliflower Blue Cheese Pizza

Buffalo Cauliflower Blue Cheese Pizza by Alison's AllspiceI spend a fair amount of time over on pinterest looking at recipe ideas and getting inspired by other bloggers.  Buffalo pizza’s caught my eye there because I love all things buffalo.  Reviewing recipes, I noticed that the sauce you can use on a buffalo pizza varies quite greatly.  Some people use the buffalo sauce as a base, but that means every bite is is loaded with spice and their is no relief from the heat.  Some recipes use bottled ranch dressing, but I didn’t like the sound of that either.  I developed my buffalo cauliflower blue cheese pizza with a homemade blue cheese pizza sauce! Continue reading

Barbecue Black Bean and Peach Salsa Pizza by Alison's AllspiceHello friends!  Boy do I have a crazy awesome recipe for you today!
