Veggie Pesto Pizza & A Blog Makeover

First off, props to the hubby who made my blog look beautiful. Being married to a web developer does come in handy you know. ;)

Tonight I made a delicious (if I do say so myself, and I do!) meal that I found the other day while searching for healthy, easy meals. The hubby has been on a health kick lately and since I am now officially on summer break (summer school ended Friday hallelujah!!), I decided to oblige and do something to help. AKA cook something besides our four or five go-to meals or picking up Chick-fil-A. I found a recipe called Roasted Veggie Pizza with Pesto, and it sounded very yummy and doable.

First up, the pesto:

 Basil, olive oil, garlic, and a food processor

I was quite proud of myself for making my very own pesto. It was super easy too! While cooking, I reminded my hubby that a year ago today we were on our flight to Rome to start our Italian adventure. So, is it ironic we had pesto (something we ate a lot of there) a year later? I think not!

Next, I chopped up a bunch of veggies (bell pepper, zucchini, red onion, and mushrooms), put them on a cooking sheet, drizzled olive oil, salt, and pepper on them, and let them bake for about 15 minutes, giving them a little toss every five minutes or so. We used a Betty Crocker "just add water" packet for our homemade (ha!) pizza dough. Then I added the pesto, veggies, mozzarella, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and voila! Easy and so tasty!

 Delizioso! Magnifico!!

I got the recipe (that I mostly followed) here. Enjoy!
