What goes great with football? Try a pizza! The next time “pizza night” comes around, why not sur prise your household with a home-baked pie? Sliced fresh mushrooms and red bell pep pers on a chewy-crisp crust, with a light blanket of Italian cheeses-it’s a combination ev eryone loves. What’s more, a “white pizza” makes a nice change from familiar tomato topped pizzas. Because the prep is so simple, dinner makers can serve up this pizza in a flash-no need to precook the vegetable topping. It’s just tossed with a little salad dressing-adding flavor and moisture-and then scattered over a purchased pizza crust. Fresh mushrooms are the easy way to make everyday meals special. Just wipe the mushrooms with a damp pa per towel or rinse quickly, slice and they’re ready to use. Or, to shortcut the preparation, buy them presliced.
