I used this recipe as a base. I added fresh garlic to the sauce, used wet mozzarella, cooked mushrooms, a little spinach, cooked hot sausage, red onion, black olives and fresh basil on top. And a drizzle of olive oil. Kind of like a loaded slice of pizza. It was pretty darn good. What I liked best was the mushrooms and olives. Could make a good appetizer if you did one slice per person before main course.

This is an easy recipe to modify. I just love the eggplant idea!!! For my pizza, I added salt and pepper to taste (mine), which was generous. I crushed some fresh garlic and stirred it in with the sauce, along with a tsp or so of hot chili flakes. I shredded herbed cheddar and gouda - just enough to cover the eggplant slices. Finally, I added some chopped fresh pepper (whatever kind you have in the frig), chopped onion and sliced, aging mushrooms & plopped them on top of the sauce. I forgot to add some fresh basil that was in reach on my windowsill. Silly me. But this one's a keepuh!

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
