"This is probably the most healthy pizza I've ever eaten. I have been making it for several years. Instead of tomato sauce you use an avocado sauce. You don't cook the vegetables or the pizza, its mostly raw. Make sure you have a lot of napkins around, this pizza is messy to eat :)"

This is such a creative recipe and tastes wonderful!<br/>I didn't use the yeast. Instead I just added olive oil and some parsely to the avacoado and mashed it up. Also added some sauted mushrooms and temph.<br/>Definitely my new favorite dish! If the pizza style is too messy, just roll it into a burrito :)

It was quite delicious, and I would have given it a five if not for the awkwardness of eating the pizza. It was quite messy.

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> I was born in northern Ontario in Canada. I am of Irish /Spanish/French Canadian descent. In 2002, myself, my hubby Stu, and our dog Ginger moved to the high desert of New Mexico. I am a Domestic Engineer and a Professional Artist. I enjoy oldies, classical and jazz music. My hubby is a Professional Jazz and Classical Musician. He plays with the Albuquerque Philharmonic Orchestra which is wonderful because I get to see all his concerts and they are free! We are trying our best to live a Green and Sustainable lifestyle which is no easy feat in a desert. I love any cookbook that promotes good health and tasty meals. I enjoy pasta dishes and sweet vegan deserts. I have found that I am very successful in converting conventional recipes to vegan. This has allowed me to enjoy all types of foods that I other wise could not. Some day we would like to relocate to upstate New York and be closer to my family in Canada and my husbands in New York. My DH retires in 9 years, so nothing will stop us from heading home then :-)
