The squash pizza actually turned out delicious! I used this recipe for inspiration, but didn't follow it exactly.

When I got home from work I roasted the squash while I went out on my run (with no iPod and soggy shoes cause I got caught in the thunderstorm two days ago and I may have fried my iPod. I'm letting it dry out for a week.)

After stretching and watching the news with Marisa, I scooped the squash out of the shells, chopped a quarter of an onion and grated (with my new grater I bought for carrot cake) half a block of Gruyere cheese. I made up my crust and rolled it out. I forgot to poke it and pre-bake it, but it didn't matter.

I seasoned the crust with rosemary and thyme and some olive oil. Then, I spread my chopped onion and spooned half of my squash all around the crust. I added lots of cheese (more than the recipe called for) and seasoned again. And popped it in the oven while I showered.

The whole house smelled wonderful and it was done by the time I was dressed. It was so good! It tasted like yummy cheese squash hot dish on crust.

Here is the pizza from yesterday, isn't it pretty?:

I think these two pizzas would make excellent party food. Maybe for a debate watch or super bowl party? Canadian bacon for the meat eaters and squash for the veggies. However, not everyone may have my same taste. But you really can't go wrong with homemade pizza. Maybe a BBQ Chicken pizza for Anthony who doesn't like fruit on his pizza. Just thinking out loud.
