Smoky Pepper Pizza
Late summer's bounty of peppers and herbs combine with smoky cheese to make this unusually flavorful pizza. Of course, you can use store-bought pizza dough or pizza crust. You could even doctor a pizzeria pizza, if you're feeling especially averse to cooking: add any other vegetables you have on hand, including cooked potato slices, fresh tomatoes, sautéed summer squash, or steamed greens. And don't forget the sprinkling of fresh herbs, which adds a powerful punch of flavor.
