Cheese, Please? Vegan Pizza

    For as long as I can remember, cheese pizza has always been a favorite food.  Fools Gold, 5-Cheese, Cheese Lovers... the more cheese the better.  So after deciding to go vegan making pizza just seemed pointless to me.  Then one day my husband gave it a try and loved it.  He liked it so much he offered to make it for everyone.  For the kids we made crust with sauce, tomatoes and spinach.  For us, he used mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, onions and spinach.  It was delicious!  The kids even loved theirs, although, my daughter still prefers some cheese on hers.  A little rice cheese does the trick.  Honestly, I didn't miss the cheese at all and when I had finished eating, I felt great.  I didn't have that heavy, sluggish feeling I usually got after eating a greasy cheesy pizza. 
    * For those gluten-free individuals, I have found that the pre-cooked crusts in the freezer section are quite scrumptious.  I prefer them to the ones I have tried at local restaurants.
