The start of a new school year calls for quick, no-fuss meals, and a Hamilton Beach toaster oven can be the secret sidekick that keeps breakfasts, lunches, and after-school snacks both easy and delicious.

The oven is the perfect size for the college dorm or for a spot on the kitchen counter at home. It comes with easy to read instructions in the manual as well.

When the college students or high school aged kids are looking for something quick and easy to make for dinner, a pizza often comes to mind and I decided to make one that is more healthy than most.

Started off with a Cauliflower Crust Pizza Kit that I picked up at Costco which came with the tomato sauce. I covered the pizza crust with the sauce and added some local roasted corn (microwaved the corn on the cob), along with some oven-roasted local zucchini, and then added a good sprinkling of 3 different cheeses. As the crust was fairly large I had to cut I up into quarters but could cut it into thirds if need be. I then put it in the toaster oven and baked it according to the instructions in the Hamilton Beach manual.
