figgy flatbread pizza
When fresh figs are in season, it seems like I put them in practically everything I prepare. I simply adore them! And I was lucky enough to attend the California Figs new cookbook launch event in New York, and came home with a stash of the luxurious fruits. So, of course, I went immediately into my kitchen to whip up some fig-filled delights. This 100% plant-based (Meatless Monday-friendly!) flatbread pizza is the first creation from the stash. Combining two of my favorite things—pizza and figs—is downright dreamy to me. Plus, the use of creamy cashew cheese and a finish of a spicy coconut nectar and fresh basil make it magical.  Hope you agree!

I’m a New Yorker! Well, at least I’ve been one for the past 20 years! And I couldn’t be a “real” New Yorker if I didn’t appreciate pizza. So, appreciate pizza I do. This autumn-inspired, Meatless Monday-friendly version is no exception! Not only are these scrumptious slices loaded with seasonal farmers’ market goodies, they’re full of good-for-your gut benefits. (As luck would have it, “good gut health” is this month’s Recipe Redux theme, too!) This recipe is rich in prebiotics—which feed friendly bacteria in the gut. Since gut health is connected to immunity, enjoying this pizza wouldn’t be the worst way to try to fend off a cold or flu this season! Once you bake up this pizza, make it...

It was such as pleasure hosting two amazing food-loving dietetic interns this spring. One of them, Lucy Song, has a terrific palate for plant-based cuisine and an eye for photography. So as part of her internship experience, I asked her to create a recipe makeover for Meatless Monday. Here’s her story behind this recipe. I first discovered the delectable flavor combination of pear and cheese a few years ago in the form of a Quattro Formaggio Pear Pizza at a cute Italian restaurant in Old City, Philadelphia. That afternoon, I had dragged my patient boyfriend all over the neighborhood as I sought to satisfy my voracious craving for Italian food. We finally decided on this spot, and the pizza was...

spinach & artichoke flatbread pizza {meatless monday}

Cheesy pizza is a food that I simply don’t think I could live without! Luckily, as long as it’s not loaded up with greasy pepperoni and sausage, it can be good for you. And if you top it with plenty of vegetables, it can be extra good for you. That’s what I’ve done here with a luscious-tasting spinach-artichoke topping that was inspired by spinach-artichoke dip! It’s served on flatbread, like whole grain pocketless pita, to keep it simple. Enjoy it as a personal pizza anytime. Or arrange slices on a platter for a party appetizer that’ll impress your guests. Calories saved: 90 (or more!) Why it’s better for you? It’s loaded with veggie and whole grain goodness! Disclosure Note: One...
