The Length of an Ear of Corn

24 weeks and we're still waiting for the day they compare the size of my baby to a half gallon of ice cream.  What a delicious week that will be!  Until then, though, we are still comparing our little one to fruits and veggies.  I suppose that's healthier for me (and him) since I apparently have a Kronos complex and eat whatever veggie he was compared to.

Delicious Veggie Pizza (try this one!)





1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 ears worth of corn
Salt and pepper
pizza dough
5 oz thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 C cherry tomatoes, halved (use cherry, I tried to substitute with diced roma once and it wasn't nearly as good as this time when I actually bought the cherry tomatoes.  They were so much better on this then roma!)
Fresh basil

Saute the onions and bell peppers.  Add the garlic for the last few minutes.  Add the corn, salt, and pepper.  Remove from heat.

Roll out the pizza dough.  Top with mozzarella slices.  Top with veggies (it will be a thick layer when you add them now, but it will shrink down as it bakes).  Sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.  Place tomatoes evenly over pizza.  Bake an additional 5-8 minutes until crust looks done.  Remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil.
