Gratitude Monday -- Beanizza Edition

I had an idea recently for bean pizza. I wanted pizza, but nothing too heavy. I went looking and discovered that yes, bean pizza does exist in the wild.
This was good as it gave me a solid basis to ignore when I made my own.
Also, I wanted to know if Robin Hood Gluten Free flour was good for pizza crust.
It is the best.
The first one I tried was kale and kidney bean with two kinds of goat cheese.
It was very good.
For Christmas I made baked bean pizza with bacon and mushroom.
We only stopped eating it because it was gone.
My husband loves these pizzas even more than I do and for that I am grateful.
Yesterday I decided to make another version of the kale and kidney bean. I used regular dairy mozzarella and some honey goat cheese on it along with mushroom, onion, and bell peppers.
I am grateful it turned out so well. It is filling and healthy and fun to make and I am grateful for that, too.

I am sure you are curious.
This is kale and kidney bean beanizza:

That looks scrumptious. You're such a creative cook. And you cracked me up with "This was good as it gave me a solid basis to ignore when I made my own."

Thanks, Hilary.

Eating healthy can be hard when we are confronted by all kinds of bad foods. Is the bean taking the place of a tomato sauce?

Leah J. Utas said...

Tabor, no. I have tomato paste on it. The bean is the protein.

I have to tell you that I first read the title as BeaRnizza which I would have expected to have quite an interesting history.
"a solid basis to ignore" is exactly what I need.
