** GUEST POST**
Introducing my gorgeous husband Leigh, the best red meat and breakfast cook in the house! Here is his ‘guest post’ …
I never much cared for veggies as a kid; I blame an over sensitivity to 6-npropylthioracil (the bitter taste in veges); but as an adult; I’m loving them.
Now my beautiful wife (ed: awwwwe shucks) started the idea of a veggie pizza (AKA pizzatta – it’s in her cookbook… which if you haven’t got yet she has on sale this week for her birthday), so I thought I would have a go… and being a male, it would have to include Bacon…..mmmm Bacon…. I made it up from stuff lying around. Lucky for me, there always tends to be a lot of ‘stuff’ lying around… enjoy…

yummo! Any suggestions as to what I could substitute the cheese for (non-dairy)? Thanks!

Great question Ashleigh, I’ve made my version without it. You could try nutritional yeast!
