Vegan Ceasar and Vegan Pizza

Easy, not too hard to make, delicious meal.
You don't have to be vegan to enjoy this either. It's just an extremely, healthy way to enjoy these two favorite dishes!

Vegan Pizza
Ingredients;
1 bag of Trader Joes whole wheat pizza dough - follow instructions
( I imagine you can easily make your own dough if you want but this is very quick)
2-3 handfuls of flour (To form the shape of the pizza)
1 Jar of Trader Joe's Tomato sauce (unbelievable delish and quick! plus its 100% safe for vegans)
1/3 Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella Cheese Alternative
1/2 Vegan Gourmet Monterey Jack Cheese Alternative

ANY Toppings you want!
I used
1 half a red onion
1 whole yellow onion
Fresh mushrooms
Fresh organic Broccoli florets
3 cloves (small part of the garlic) of fresh Garlic
3 small Japanese Eggplants (if your using traditional eggplant I would say maybe less than half would be equal to what I used)
1 small yellow squash
They look like this....



Directions;
1) Follow directions for dough on package; let dough stand for 20 minutes. While slicing your fresh veggies.
2) Blanch Vegetables. Use Soup Pot or just large pot to boil water on high for ten minutes. Reduce heat to med and blanch veggies. Wait until vegetables are about a little more then half done. Strain and prepare to use as a topping later.
3) To form pizza use large surface that you've lightly floured..although I had to use two to three handfuls minimum. Use rolling pin to stretch and form by hand into round shape.
4) Lightly sauce pizza, not too much! Enough to cover the pizza until the middle portion is pretty much sauced and red.
5) Place toppings and grate cheese.
6) Hopefully you were clever and pre-heated your oven like the dough package said to 450 Degrees on Bake.
7) My pizza took about 20 minutes.

This is a great dish to make Sunday night and eat it for Monday and Tuesday. You can easily heat it up! You get to have pizza whenever you want!

Easy Vegan Caesar Salad w/ BEETS....mmmmmm
Omega Vegan Caesar Dressing
Romaine Lettuce
Sauteed Beets
Fresh Ground Pepper
Fresh Grated Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella Cheese Alternative

1) prepare beets. I peeled mine and then sliced. BTW these suckers are messy! DO NOT WEAR WHITE ha ha. Cut into cubes.
2) Saute for about ten minutes covered! Very important to cover or you will be there all day! Your essentially steaming so you can add a tiny bit of water if you want.
3) Let cool after straining. Maybe throw them in the fridge while you prepare your lettuce.
4) Slice fresh Romaine lettuce
5) Lightly pepper lettuce in large bowl
6) Add beets, light dressing, and grate mozzarella over top and ..TOSS.

To me, the dressing is like a Caesar with honey mustard. It's an interesting take on it. The beets give it something extra, like color. lol.
