Easy and quick to make - great combination of flavors. If you aren't vegan, you can melt some buffalo mozzarella slices on top under the broiler, and you have mini pizzas!

I'm a recipe junkie and collect way too many cookbooks. But when it's time to actually make something, I quickly turn to the internet... I started avoiding meat more than 20 years ago for environmental reasons. (It takes so many resources and the pollution risks of confinement operations are huge.) I've been vegan for years now and can report that the health benefits are also real. I really don't understand why people insist on eating meat
