Zucchini Pizzas...

What a day!! This week is FLYING by.. before I know it its the next day already.. It has been a bit difficult going from relaxed costa rica life to crazy school life.. its been a long week!! Poor people in Costa Rica w/ that hurricane today! They are in our thoughts and prayers.. it was pretty close to where Cort and I were too ... eek..

Well as promised I made awesome zucchini pizza's for dinner on Monday - They were delicious and super healthy and natural..

Here's the recipe :) ...

Start off with your zucchini.. I got an amazing one from the CSA last week .. it was GRANDE so I only needed one, but if you have a small one.. you may need more than one..   Slice the zucchini, they can be thick or thin.. whatever you prefer! :)

 Next, cut up your fresh mozzy cheese... I just used one, but again, you be the judge based on how many pizza's you want to make..

You will also need some Organic tomato sauce.. Muir Glen is a great brand b/c they don't add a lot of sugar. 

 Pre-heat your skillet with olive oil so that the skillet is hot.. Once hot, brush each side of the zucchini rounds w/ oil and place on the skillet.. Brown on both sides (about 3 mins or so per side) or until there are marks in the zucchini (if you use a grill pan)...

Once browned in the skilled, transfer the zucchini to a baking sheet.. You don't need to grease the sheet since it is probably non-stick and the zucchini already has oil.. 

 The best thing about this recipe is that you don't have to rush and you can actually make the zucchini pizzas before hand and clean up as you go b/c they don't have to be hot on the cookie sheet b/c they go in the oven right after .. Once they are on the cookie sheet, you can top w/ sauce.. more or lesss.. again - Your preference :)

I added a little salt and pepper and some italian seasonings and then I placed the cheese on top.. 

 Once they are ready, you can turn the oven on broil and place the baking sheet in the oven.. cook for about 10 mins until the cheese is melted and a little brown.. and Voila! You are done.. How easy and simple is that? SUPER SIMPLE!!

Here is the finished product.. YUMM..

You can serve this as an appetizer, or the full meal.. I served it with a fresh mixed green salad and some corn on the cobb.. ALL REAL CLEAN FOOD !! and guess what?? It was filling.. we weren't hungry for the rest of the night!!! 

More fun stuff to come!!

Live well xoxo
