Very easy to cook! Some veggie preparation  but it wasn't too troubling. Its like a crockpot recipe (throw everything in), except you don't have to wait 6 hours for it to finish cooking.

I combined two recipes, to get a good mixture of ideas and ingredients. (I do that alot)

Ingredients

Veggies

• 4 medium carrots, chopped
• 5 medium minced garlic cloves
• 1 cup frozen cut green beans
• 2 cups chopped onions
• 2 stalks sliced celery
• 1 medium diced bell pepper

Cans

• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 (15 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
• 1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 medium sliced zucchini

Other

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups uncooked small pasta
• 3 beef bouillon cubes
• 3 cups water
• Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

In a large pot: saute the onions, carrots, and garlic in olive oil for five minutes over medium heat.


Add celery, carrots, oregano, basil, and salt and cook for ten minutes.

Add bell pepper, zucchini, water, beef bouillon and tomato sauce. Cover the pot and simmer for 15 minutes.


Stir in the pasta and beans. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.

Add green beans and the can of diced tomatoes; cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through. Garnish with  Parmesan cheese, parsley, and ground black pepper if you want.

Ingredients

Any pre-prepared cheese pizza. (Or you can make your own cheese pizza with pizza dough and cheese) For mine, I choose Red Baron Thin and Crispy pizza.
1/4 of a Zucchini
1 1/2 Cups of Frozen Broccoli
Half of a White Onions
Half of a Green Bell Peppers
Ranch Dressing
(optional) Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Get your pizza out on a baking pan.
Slice your zucchini into thin round slices. Spread it over the pizza like you would pepperoni slices.
Cut up the Onions & Green Bell Peppers into slices or dices. Spread over pizza.
Place broccoli florets all over the pizza.
Sprinkle the cheese over the vegetables.
And drip Ranch over the pizza.
Follow directions on how long to cook the pizza.
Take out, let it cool off, and EAT!

Source: Knowledge of knowing which veggies taste really good with cheese! Zucchini Pasta is really tasty (if i can find the recipe, I'll post it), so I knew that Zucchini would go well in Pizza. Broccoli is known to be tasty with cheese. And I've made ranch dressing pizza before with chicken, and that was GREAT! Plus, ranch on top of broccoli and zucchini sounded like a tasty idea. Kinda like a salad pizza.

Lesson learned here. Buy a cheap cheese pizza, and make your own awesome pizza without the hassle of making your own dough!

Ingredients

2 cups Bisquick
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 eggs
3-4 Strawberries, each one sliced up into 4s.
3/4 cups of Raisins

Directions

Heat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease muffin pan well.
Stir all ingredients except blueberries in medium bowl, just until moistened.
Fold in raisins.
Divide batter evenly into small muffin tin (12 count). I made 18 muffins out of this.
Put one slice of strawberry on top of batter!
Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool slightly and remove from pan to wire rack.

This was really tasty! Good snack for slow work day. :)
