As Monday rolls around, what could be a more delightful way to kick off your week than by going meatless with Hawaiian stir fry and spinach pizza?

The veggie component of this dish is so easy to manage with frozen veggies that can be quickly sautéed in a hot pan. This mixture is then generously layered atop a store-bought pizza base.

For a vegan option, replace the egg with a tablespoon of apple purée. Recipe compliments of McCain.
