I'm not immune to the temptations of the frozen food section at the grocery store. Having a frozen meal to turn to on a chaotic day can be a God-send. I just look for the most nutritious options, and (thankfully) there are healthier options to choose from these days, frozen pizza being no exception.

I generally have a box of Amy's organic pizza in my freezer. And no, I'm not on Amy's payroll nor do I receive click commissions.

I simply appreciate that Amy's pizza crust is made from organic unbleached wheat flour, the pizza does not contain any bioengineered ingredients, yada yada yada.

Nevertheless, I can't leave well-enough alone, especially when it involves baking frozen pizza, so I always doctor-up my frozen pizzas. In addition to, or instead of, the ingredients below, I imagine sliced tomatoes, peppers, roasted garlic, onions, salamis and mushrooms would also be savory add-ons.

Yield: 1 medium-sized pizza (4 slices)
Cost: apx. $9.00
Time: 20 minutes

1 (14 ounce) Amy's Organic Spinach and Tomato Pizza
3 artichoke hearts*, sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta
Parmigiano-Reggiano
Red pepper flakes, optional

*I enjoy the Trader Joe's bottled artichoke hearts with stem ($2.99, 14.6 ounces)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425Ëš.
2. Remove pizza from overwrap and place directly on middle oven rack.
3. Bake for 8-9 minutes. While pizza is baking, combine chopped spinach with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
