"Very good soup! Subed Fat-Free half and half. Topings are devine; used center cut bacon instead of prosciutto. Really hearty for not a lot of calories, perfect for a cold day! May roast at a lower temperature next time." —cconnito

"Yum! I used a Boboli (premade) crust and sauce. Used 2 large jalapeños instead of bell pepper, and used queso fresco instead of ricotta because I didn't have that stuff on hand. This was SUPERB, and I love that it's lower calorie and healthier than usual pizza." —VegasRD

Warm Turnip Green Dip

Photo: Jennifer Davick; Styling: Melanie Clarke

"A huge hit when I served it as an appetizer at a dinner party and everyone asked for the recipe. Not a trace left. I did make it a second time using collard greens which was still ok, but too strong. Stick to the turnip greens. Served it with bread sticks and chunks of homemade bread." —Keiko123
