Food: Dinner Tonight – Personalized Pizza |

I have a weakness for pizza and could very well eat a personal size one a day – with a variety of toppings. My current favorite pizza places in San Francisco being here for a get-together traditional pizza experience, here for a quick bite to eat at the mall, and here, and here when we venture out of San Francisco and do not have the time to search for a local Yelp reviewed five-star restaurant.

The trouble with Pizza is that since I have cut down or eliminated as much as possible, carbs from my diet, I try to minimize the consumption to once a month or twice and maybe three times, but only on a cold and rainy day. 🙂

So when I found this recipe here, I felt the need to switch-it-up to fit all of my dietary restrictions and I am forcing the family to follow along.

INGREDIENTS

- 1/2 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought {I switched to cauliflower ready-made dough}
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- kosher salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 2 cups shredded Tuscan kale {I switched to fresh spinach or cabbage – I am not a fan of Kale}
- ½ small butternut squash, cut into ribbons using a vegetable peeler {or you can add zucchini instead}
- 8 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon honey, plus more for serving
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

- 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
