A crust that makes all the difference

Gwyneth Paltrow’s food blog, Goop.com and quickly growing collection of cook books are a great way to take baby steps toward being a top chef.

I first came across the Goop pizza crust last winter… on an especially cold night. We had all the ingredients stocked and some nice red wine, so off we went!

We also followed Gwyneth’s instructions on the tomato sauce which was a hit … but our hearts have a soft spot for a good pesto. However, the tomatoes and thinly sliced zucchini along with some garlic and fresh basil brought it all together for a home run.

Dandelion greens

I bought some dandelion greens and started using them with everything — salads, pestos, smoothies and yes now pizza.
