Cardamom carrots has always been a standard side dish with Swedish meatballs in my family, but I'd never added orange to it. Yummy! In addition to the orange zest, I added the juice from half an orange. it made the dish a little more saucey instead of glazed. I also cooked the carrots in the microwave for 3 minutes and then cooked them in the sauce for about 3 or 4 more minutes.

This wasn't enough to convert my kids into squash lovers, but they didn't make any faces either. DH and I liked it quite a bit. I added the zest from half of a lemon to the honey-butter sauce before baking, gave the flavors a little more brightness.

My family and friends love this pizza! I've made it several times, both as written and with adjustments, and it's always yummy and impressive-looking. If you want to save time, use the chopped roasted garlic in a jar, a Boboli-type crust and don't prebake the pears. Prebaking does have the advantage of drying the pears a bit, which can keep the crust from getting soggy. I've used goat's milk mozzarella before, which adds a little more tanginess. You can also make mini-sized pizzas and slice them thinly for an appetizer plate. Thanks for upping the creativity of my supper repetoire, Bostoncook!
