Bell Pepper, Red Onion, and Goat Cheese PizzaBrian Leatart

Marielle Ainsworth of Roswell, New Mexico, writes: "I'm a vegetarian, but my husband isn't, so I'm always looking for recipes that will make both of us happy. I came up with the goat cheese pizza because it combines things we both love —cheese and veggies.

If you're not a fan of goat cheese, whole-milk mozzarella, Fontina, or Gorgonzola can also be used.
