Welcome to another month’s Improv Challenge! January is all about Sour Cream and Lemons. I fully intended to make lemon hand pies with sour cream crust this month. I had it all planned out. I had found a couple of recipes to use as spring boards to create something wonderful. And then BANG! My mind was beset with thoughts of pizza. And oh boy! What a pizza this was, especially seeings it was my last wheat pizza.
I mixed store bought pesto with sour cream for the sauce of the pizza. The cheese was mozzarella and sun-dried tomato feta. The toppings were roasted peppers, lemon zest, chicken breast and sauteed shiitake mushrooms. Ooodelally! This was Fan.Tas.Tic!! The lemon gave the pizza an unexpected zing that I really liked.
