Yield: 8 servings; 5 points per serving
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/4 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (1-pound) Italian cheese-flavored pizza crust (such as Boboli)
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
2/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) grated sharp provolone or shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 450°.
Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in spinach. Place pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread spinach mixture over pizza crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top with artichokes and cheese.
Bake at 450° for 13 minutes or until cheese melts.
Preheat oven to 450F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place 4 frozen waffles (I use Kashi or Eggo Nutrigrain) on sheet; bake until toasted, about 10 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings
1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat
1/2 cup prepared pesto
4 ripe plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn
Heat grill to medium-high.
Meanwhile, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Place crusts on a floured baking sheet. Carry crusts and toppings out to the grill.
Lay crusts on grill (they won't stay perfectly round). Cover grill and cook until crusts are lightly puffed and undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Using tongs, flip crusts. Immediately spread pesto over crusts. Top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta and pepper. Cover grill and cook until the undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.
