So that we could have some stuff to nibble on while we gabbed about our chick lit, I whipped up two super fast snacks. I made Ham and Cheddar Biscuits--these couldn't be easier. I bought Pilsbury frozen biscuits and added a sharp cheddar, brown sugar ham and honey mustard. Delish.
I also pulled together a fancy pizza/tart that was a big hit, there was only one piece left, so I ate that piece. Now there isn't any left, so you know it must be good. I used frozen puff pastry but crescent rolls would also work well. I also am fortunate to have a wonderful neighbor who supplies me with fresh zucchini from the garden--so I had the freshest and sweetest zucchini for this pizza and that truly makes a difference. Thanks Karin!

Yum, looks fab! i love tomatoes and zucchini both... I can imagine they'd taste good on pizza.:)
That looks so good. I have been fun coming up with pizza combos, but would never have thought to make one with puff pastry!
Yeah! Another recipe with basil and zuchinni in it! I have a ton of the stuff from my garden. Gonna try this one! Thanks.
Lovely pizza, lovely summer flavours! I love pizza in all its incarnations, so puff pastry pizza works for me.
Looks awesome... favorite toppings, I must try this!
That pizza looks good and it does sound easy.
I love the use of a nontraditional pizza dough. How well did the pastry hold up to the ingredients? Do you think it would work for say a pineapple and sausage pizza?
Hi Nate and Annie! These ingredients held up very well because they were light...I am not sure about sausage and puff pastry. But I am sure that the crescent roll dough would do just fine! N'Joy!

This looks so delicious. And lovely photos!
I'm not good at following directions either, but it turned out well with some variations. First, I used a thick crust pizza dough instead of crescent roll dough. Second, my basil plant died, so I used rosemary and thyme. Third, I read "garlic salt" as "garlic" and "salt" in my haste to make the mayo. Fourth, I used regular mozeralla and goat cheese. It was very good though, considering the only ingredients from the original recipe were zucchini, tomato, and mayo!
