This one is a little different than my usual recipe post, but in the spirit of covering a little bit of everything, I’m sharing a pizza recipe that is family approved, but also happens to be vegan. We’re a family of food lovers and pizza is never off the table, but I love knowing I can make a meatless and dairy free version at home that everyone will enjoy. This one is an easy make during a busy holiday season or when you need a quick and easy dinner for your health conscious guests (or use it as an opportunity to introduce the meatlovers in your life to an alternative!). Inspiration for this recipe is from my friend and one of my favorite vegan chefs, Anne Thornton.
