  3. Rinse edamame beans in a colander under cold water and shake off excess water. Add to pan of butter.
  4. Sprinkle with lemon pepper and drizzle with soy sauce.
  5. Toss until skins are completely coated and glazed.
  6. Put them in a big bowl with a side bowl for discarding shells. Fun!!!

  10. Layer over pesto in this order, as you slice; slivered zucchini, mushrooms, onion (if someone isn’t fond of onion, finely chop) and peppers.
    Anything else you enjoy…load it on. Our family loves asparagus on this as well.
    Scatter feta cheese and pine nuts all over. Top with part skim mozzarella.
    Regular Pizza
  11. Layer over pizza sauce in this order; spice, ham, mushrooms, pineapple, pepperoni, you name it!!!
    Bake in hot oven on separate racks on opposite sides of oven for 10 minutes.(Unless you have a convection oven. then they just need to be on separate racks)
    When timer rings, you may like to melt your cheese more. You can do this by broiling them one at a time, until the cheese bubbles. You will have to stay and watch or before you know it, you end up with a burnt mess.
    I purchase Deli World brand crusts. I just think they taste most like take-out crust. They come in packages of three. I make all three at one time and whatever we don’t eat I freeze for easy entertaining or a bail out meal. Simply wrap the extra, once cooled, in plastic wrap.
