Pesto Primavera and Playing with Papa


My favorite pizza at the Pizza Factory is their Pasta Primavera. I made a close version of it at home for a lot less and fed my extended family as well. I made it with a package pizza crust and made it thin-crust style on a cookie sheet. I placed a little pesto sauce on the crust and added the following veggies sauteed in a splash of olive oil and garlic salt: summer squash, zuccini, red bell peppers, sliced mushrooms and purple onion. I could have added artichoke hearts, but I forgot to buy them. I put the veggies over the crust and sprinkled a healthy portion of reduced fat fetta cheese and then covered the rest of it with plenty of pesto sauce. I baked it in the oven and my husband even said it smelled good (and he pretty much hates everything I put on the pizza)! It was delicious!
This is a great picture of Kiera, Kya, Kolden and Kade. They were definitely having a fun morning! You can see the chocolate on their faces and the snickers wrappers on the couch in the background. What a cute family! Where was Kari?...
Kari was sick with pink-eye. I shot this of her in her bed because it was so funny and sweet. She went to sleep with her finger plugging her runny nose because she cannot handle it dripping out. Poor girl, it is tough to be sick. We love her!
