Rainbow pizza (vegetarian) loaded with nutritious and delicious vegetables AND kale in the crust! And kids love it!
My baby girl showed me a picture of a rainbow pizza she found on Tumblr, a while ago. She asked me to make her one. But I was really dragging my feet about it, not wanting to think too hard about what ingredients I would have to search to satisfy ROY G. BIV. In case you didn’t know, thinking too hard hurts my brain. What does that tell you about my brain capacity? The answer: it’s low.
And then, we were driving somewhere, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, a rainbow popped. Yeah, just like that, POPPED! It looked kinda like this.
And then, I was digging somewhere in the garden, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, these purple potatoes popped. Seriously! I didn’t plant them. At least not this year. What does that say about my potato-digging skill? The answer: not that great.
They obviously came back from tubers that I had left in the ground the previous year. No complaint, free food is always appreciated.
And then, I came home from work and my mother, who happens to be visiting, served me this beautiful salad. What does that say about my mother? The answer: she is awesome, my mother.
I took it that these were signs that I should make the rainbow pizza. If my mom could make that rainbow salad for her baby girl, I certainly should at least make an effort to make my baby girl her rainbow pizza. Don’t you agree? The answer: YES!
So, baby girl, this is for you! By the way, how did you grow so fast? Can I still call you “baby” next year, when for sure you’ll be taller than me? Maybe I should stop feeding you, so you won’t grow anymore. Just kidding, obviously! I hope you like this!
Love,
Mom

What fun! 🙂
I know, right? And it tasted so good! Why didn’t I listen to my baby girl sooner? 🙂
Amazing!!
Thank you, TSO! It was very good!
Oh my gosh, that pizza looks amaaaazing! I’m not sure if I have the patience for the rainbow design, but I’m definitely going to try that crust.
Well done to the featured posts, very well deserved – I’m still drooling over that fig and grape pie!
Happy FF Angie!
My third pizza wasn’t as patiently formed. I just scattered the toppings pell mell, still looked pretty with all the colors! 🙂 The crust was great, you’ll like it! Happy FF to you, too, darling!
Your pizza is so pretty! I shall definitely try that out one gloomy autumn weekend! 🙂
Even though the toppings were all vegetables, it was so good, Cathy! Who needs pepperoni? 🙂
That rainbow pizza looks so amazing! And colorful!!
Well, it’s all courtesy of Roy G. Biv! Thanks, hon! So glad you like it! 🙂
amei tudo noseu blog, belas fotos, receitas perfeitas, tudo muito bem explicadas .
parabéns!!!!!!!!!!!! um grande beijo Brasileiro…………..
Lourdes araujo
Seriously thats not a pizza, it’s art!!! lol
Kindergarten art! But I’m a smart kindergartener, I know my colors and my Roy G. Biv! 🙂
lol funny! is there a pot of gold somewhere at the end of the rainbow?
Of course! But I snatched it! Seriously, I thought about making it, with gold potatoes, but got too lazy. 🙂
haha you are a perfectionist truly x
Wow.. The rainbow pizza is absolutely delicious?!!! Loved it..
Creativity at its best..
Thank you, Nimmi! It made my girl smile and she gave it a two thumbs up! 🙂
Wow Angie… tht pizza is seriously pretty!! and U managed to do them soo perfectly…I would hv lost patience mid way…. and what a glorious crust!! Trying soon ..and Thnx for showing ur love to my humble modaks… 🙂 <3 Great to be a part of the Friday Party…Cheers!!
Thank you, Swayam! That crust is pretty awesome. Nobody can really tell there was kale! And you’re welcome about the feature. You deserve it! Those modaks are so cute! 🙂
I like your rainbow idea using veggies – maybe I can hide some pepperoni somewhere?
Yes, in the red! I actually bought pepperoni, but decided to go all veggies. Thanks, Juju! 🙂
How very gorgeous! My my Angie, that was super creative. Must be super tasty too 😀
Yes, definitely super tasty! And don’t forget, super healthy! 🙂
Yes. This should be the winner for FF 33. My vote goes to this amazing pizza 🙂
Lol! You’re too funny. I don’t think the host is eligible! But, thank you! 🙂
Haha 😀 Can’t help it, if it is the best. Host or otherwise, you got to be fair 😉
I love the way you think, but still, no, haha…
Awww! You’re a super sweet Mom, Angie! <3 The pizza looks so adorable to eat.
It was a feast for my baby girl’s eyes. She is growing up too fast for my liking! Too bad we can’t freeze time! 🙂 How’s everything, Jhuls? You doing ok?
this is so cool! I love the toppings and the arrangements – talk about getting the perfect amount on every slice 🙂
Thank you so much! And I like the way you think. It does give every slice equal distribution of toppings the way it’s arranged. It’s a fair pizza! 🙂
That’s a beautiful pizza, Angie 🙂 Love the kale parmesan crust!
Thanks, Ahila! The crust is probably my favorite part! Thinking of making bread sticks now, with kale! 🙂
What a great idea and beautiful to look at too!
Thank you, Lindsay! It was fun to make, too! 🙂
It s a really funny idea. We loved digging potates, it s like hunting for a treasure
Exactly how I feel each time I found potatoes. So much fun! 🙂
Angie! I am SO freakin impressed by this pizza! I’m not kidding, I felt my mood jump up a few levels when I saw this and I’ve been down lately so I sincerely thank you for that. I get the whole ‘food makes you happy’ even more now! I loved the little tribute to your daughter as well 🙂
So great to hear, Indira! I have to say that making that pizza made me happy, too. It was so gratifying to see the look in my baby’s face. As well as hubby’s and son’s, by the way. They were like….what the…., but they asked for prosciutto added to their pizza, so I made the third with it, but I didn’t line up the colors, just sort of sprinkle pell mell. It still looked pretty! I hooe you’ll give it a try, hon! <3
It’s funny that you said that cause I was thinking the other day that I put so much effort into making a plate look nice for the blog, but when it’s time to take out the food for me, I just dump everything on the plate lol. Glad that your random one still looked beautiful! And yes, I think I’m going to save this for something special like my birthday 🙂
What a beautiful pizza, I love it! Love the colours, love the shape, love that you made it for your baby girl ?? gorgeous work Angie xx
Thank you, Elaine! That girl is a constant source of joy for me. Along with her brother and my soulmate. But baby girl is just so special to everyone. She happens to be the youngest grandchild on both sides of the family, so she’ll forever be the baby! 🙂
How wonderful! x x x
Wow!!! That’s so beautiful!!!
Thanks, Erika! So glad you like! Haven’t seen you at the fiesta lately?
I’ve just arrived! 😉
Hurray! Off to work now, will resume partying a bit later! 🙂
A beautifully written post to accompany a beautiful trio of rainbows. <3 And that rainbow pizza? Yummy…baby girl is one lucky girl!
I think she knows that, Nancy. But what she doesn’t know is that I feel lucky to have her! Such a constant source of joy, that baby girl. Such a good girl! 🙂
Color makes food so much fun to eat, don’t you think? Your kale parm crust pizza sounds and looks delicious and healthy, Angie!
Definitely! I wasn’t hungry when I made the pizza, since you know, I was snacking on all the veggies as I was cooking. Don’t all cooks do that? But when the pizza was ready, I couldn’t help it, I had to have some. This is why it’s pointless to go on a diet, haha… The crust was excellent, Ngan. You ought to try it! 🙂
Looks fabulous!
Thank you, Jean! Long time no see! Come to Fiesta Friday and join in on the fun, please! XOXO
The pizza looks amazing with all those lovely bright colors, this is a fantastic rainbow creation 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend, Angie 🙂
Thank you, Linda! So looking forward to the weekend, so I can finally get some sleep, haha… Such a busy week. You have a fabulous weekend, too, hon! <3
Angie you really are so creative, I love your rainbow pizza. It looks beautiful and so delicious. Every week I am inspired by your creativity.
A few people say that about me. I don’t always feel it. I think I’m just lucky to have been around other creative people growing up (family & friends) and even now (fellow bloggers). THEY give me inspiration! Thanks, Suzanne, for the kind words. <3
This is simply a work of art! Food doesn’t have to be boring. Gorgeous photos!
Thanks, Julie! I think food tastes better when it looks good, don’t you think? 🙂
Ag and my baby girl works in Korea. Should have stopped feeding her years ago! Enjoy your rainbow child.
I’m quite sure I wouldn’t know what to do with myself once my kids fly the nest. I guess I’d be blogging, haha…
That is one good looking pizza, Angie. Love the twist with the kale & parmesan in the crust! Happy FF! 🙂
The crust was a last-minute idea and a huge surprise for me at how good it turned out. See, sometimes my brain does do its job, as long as it’s given time to rest, haha…. Happy FF to you, too! <3
Angie- that pizza is gorgeous! Absolutely love the layered colors! And the story behind it and what you wrote to your daughter is just precious! Loved reading this!
Thanks, Lori! That girl, along with her brother, are my constant source of joy. Wish I could keep from growing up too fast! 🙂
Wow. What a gorgeous pizza! I love those potatoes too! It’s kind of unbelievable that you found such gorgeous hidden treasure. Your blog and fiesta are just such a pleasure to read. Thank you!
I’ll probably find more potatoes next year, too. I even found some big yellow potatoes. Strangely I don’t remember planting this variety. I think I’m just a bad potato digger who always miss a few. 🙂 It’s exciting, though, like digging for treasure! Thanks, Amanda. Why don’t you come to the fiesta? We haven’t seen you in a long time! 🙂
Aw I want to. I’m just lucky to get my posts out these days. I’ll drop by next week with sardines. I post on Wednesdays. I can throw one up on Fri too.
I know exactly what you’re saying. I have even less time this year for blogging. If not for FF, I’d have probably closed shop already. Looking forward to partying with you next week! Even though you’re bringing sardines. Just kidding!! I love sardines!! Ok, I want to love sardines!! 🙂
Awww, Angie! What a wonderful mom you are! I bet your little girl was thrilled with her pizza! What a beauty it is, and so very healthy too!
Congrats to all of the features too! 😀
She was quite the happy camper when she saw the pizza. Totally made my day! It’s very gratifying to serve something healthy that the kids would eat w/out complaining. Pizza is always a sure bet. Thanks, Julianna! Happy FF! 🙂
Very clever! But heck, why am I suprised! What a great way to get children (of any age) to eat vegetables.
Yup, you’re spot on! The kale, especially, was completely undetected, haha… The boy didn’t even suspect anything, munching on his pizza gladly. Had to put prosciutto on his, though. 🙂
Delicious!
What gorgeousness Angie!! You are so very patient and creative! My munchkin would love this too, gotta try it 🙂
It’s a cute idea and super delicious! Your munchkin would love it! Thanks, Naina! 🙂
Wow, wow, wow…what a awesome idea! 🙂
Thank you, Bonnie! Always made my day every time you approve! 🙂
Hey, happy to join once again 😀 I think you will be the featured one this week, that is some extraordinary stuff right here 😀
Happy to have you, Ivy! Not sure about being featured. I think it’s against the rules. I should know, I made the rules, haha….However, thanks for thinking that! 🙂
You’re welcome, it is very well deserved 😀 And I think no one will mind if we broke the rules one time if co-host(s) decide yours is one of the best 😉
Oh Angie, that is so beautiful! Your ‘baby girl’ must have been thrilled to bits.
I agree with ivyon – you should definitely be featured this week – beautiful, healthy and super creative. My vote’s for you too 🙂 Have a lovely weekend. x
She was very happy and it made my day! I don’t think I’m eligible for features. Guests might revolt and throw me out! Thank you, though, for thinking my pizza is worthy. 🙂
Ah mannnnnnn this pizza looks so good, I want a bite (or 8!)… it’s so beautiful and colorful that it might be almost hard to eat it! (although I don’t think I’d have much trouble) And what a nice suprise to find those potatoes! The only suprises I find in the yard are ones from my puppy 😉 Happy Fiesta Friday!
Lol! That’s exactly why I have no puppies, even though my kids have been crying for one. But we’re ready to break down since they’re so cute. Just haven’t found the right one.
That pizza was quite incredible, Stephanie. You ought to make one! 🙂 Happy FF to you!
Will be there at some point am just in Eire at the moment as family business to deal with .. Have a great Fiesta Friday all !
Okie dokie, will wait. Party is not complete without you. 🙂
Thanks Angie
This pizza looks so gorgeous! Happy Fiesta Friday 🙂
Thanks, Sarah! Happy FF to you, too! 🙂
Love the Rainbow Pizza Angie! Never saw that before. Thanks to your daughter for requesting it and to you for being such a great mom and making it for her!
Thank you, Su! Never saw one either until my daughter showed it to me. Btw, I still have trouble commenting on your blog. Just want you to know that I tried!
I understand Angie 🙂
Oh my Angie, you’ve outdone yourself, this is absolutely striking, look at all those rainbow colors, I would not want to eat this or let anyone eat it for that matter. It looks too good to be real, and how healthy to boot! Bravo! Give yourself a pat on the back. Make sure you award yourself the next time you post. You always manage to pick others, but I’d say hands-down, you deserve the award the next time!
But that’s against the rules and I should know, I made the rules, lol… But I can pat myself on the back, that I can do. 🙂 Thanks, Loretta! Your sweet words quite make my day. Happy FF! <3
So I have a question Angie……when I go to your page to see all the entries with the “real” names on them, I don’t see all of them, just a handful on your page. However, when I go to the InLinkz site, there are so many more on there, but they haven’t appeared on your page yet. I keep refreshing, but to no avail. I don’t like to follow the InLinkz as much, as they don’t have the proper names on there, just the name of the dish. Any ideas?
It’s only because I have to approve first before they appear on my site. I’ll try to check them out ASAP. 🙂
Dear Angie, yes, you are absolutely right – I do LOVE this pizza! And what a genius idea with the kale crust! Simply stunning and delicious! So excited to be co-hosting again this week!!! Thanks for the opportunity! 😉 hugs, Sylvia
So happy to have you and Andrea! My two pretty girls! I’m glad you love the pizza. It has superfood kale in the crust, so I had an inkling you would approve. 🙂
such a gorgeous pizza! talk about eating the rainbow!
Haha….unfortunately, there was no pot of gold at the end. 🙂
Angie, oh how I love your rainbow pizza. It’s filled with so many superfoods and such colorful vegetables. And you worked miracles with that purple cabbage. Whenever I attempt to cook with them, the color loses it’s vibrancy and spreads to other veggies, leaving me with a mess. lol. Thank you so much for sharing this pizza recipe with us. I can imagine just how much fun it would be to eat this. So many different flavors in each bite. =)
The trick is to not overcook, and use very little liquid. In a stir-fry, I usually add it last to minimize spreading of the color.
Yup, that pizza was quite delicious, even though I would consider it a healthy food. Now, that’s a winning combination, isn’t it? Healthy yet delicious. Enjoying co-hosting much? 🙂
Thanks for the tip, Angie! I’d consider the pizza healthy too, especially with all that veggie! I love co-hosting! It’s so much fun mingling with the guests. Thanks for asking me to co-host =)
Love this rainbow pizza. And looks really healthy too 🙂 happy FF!!
It is healthy but tastes super delicious! A win-win, don’t you think? Thanks, Mandi! Happy FF!
What a gorgeous pizza Angie! All yor the love of our children :).
There isn’t anything else that can get me up and running more quickly, Sonal. I’m sure you’re the same way! <3
Yes :).
We all need to be inspired in some random intervals of our life. Yours came at an alarming speed… and you grabbed at it, and made such incredible looking pizzas with it! I am so enamoured by all those colours. I’m sure my child would be hopping and skipping with delight if I ever made such an attractive dinner for her.
Sigh! I’m waiting for my santa to show up 🙂
Oh, c’mon, you would kill it if you ever make this pizza. Pretty sure you’d make a prettier one. I thought about arranging the colors in a spiral on a round crust but it was harder to line up. Why don’t you give it a try? Lol, listen to me giving orders, just kidding of course! Thanks, Namrata, I’m so glad you liked the pizza! <3
Angie, what a lovely and incredibly innovative pizza! I just can’t stop looking at the picture! Healthy and adorable! And the crust seems so healthy too with the kale leaves! Wow! I am so going to try this! btw have a question – Can you remind me why you are ‘the Novice Gardener’ ? LOL! Much love, indu 🙂
Yeah, I’m not just novice gardener, but novice everything, Indu, haha… I’m never a master of anything and I like it that way! 🙂 The kale Parmesan crust may be the best part, you gotta try it! <3
Hey all! I’m late to the party again, and all I’m bringing is beer! I blame the PhD work and stress! Sorry to not have had time to check out all your lovely links the last few weeks – when it’s all over I’ll be catching up big time! Happy belated FF everyone (and this one I really ought to have had a Fiesta – it was actually my birthday!) xx
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Did you get spoiled rotten? We all need spoiling at least once a year. 🙂 No worries about FF. You come and go as you please, whenever you feel like it. We still love you! <3
Thank you Angie! I did! And I’m still waiting for my main present to arrive! I am a lucky girl! Hope to be back joining you regularly soon!! X
What a beautiful, colorful work of food art! Love it! It sounds so tasty too 🙂 Wishing you a great weekend!
Thanks, Arlene! It was fun to make, pretty to look at, healthy, and tasted super delicious. So, it was a win-win-win-win! 🙂
My four year old gal will love this. Thanks, Angie.
I think she will, Shanna. And her brother, too, I’m sure. You gotta try it, it was fun to make! 🙂
What a pretty pizza! I love your creativity and ability to create foods that sounds so delicious and that is pretty as a picture! The kale sounds like a delicious addition to pizza, I must try that!
I can’t believe your and Hilda’s lovely comments, I am so glad and humbled that you like the tofu! iron chef?! ha ha that did crack me up as I love the show and I am so flattered! 🙂 x
Thanks, Petra! You really should try the pizza, and especially the crust. So good! Your tofu dish deserved the feature, it’s not your run of the mill stir fried tofu, is it? It’s such a unique dish! I bought this package of tofu strands today, looks like noodles. Have no idea what to do with it, will peruse your recipe and see if inspiration hits. 🙂
Wow Angie, rainbow pizza looks stunning. .. love love it’s elegant colours… hats off to your creativity. … This is on my list now… super super cute…
Thank you, Chitra! So glad you approved. It’s heathy, yeah? With kale even in the crust? 🙂
Beautiful color for lovely photographs. I’m going to try this just to see my kids face’s light up. 🙂
Lemme know how it goes, please! 🙂
very, very beautiful pizza! and I love that you just found those purple potatoes (I liken it to my pleasure in finding random money in my handbags – even thought it’s all my money :p)
Haha…that’s an apt comparison! I felt a little like a treasure hunter actually :-). So glad you liked the pizza!
Great idea especially for kids. They could help make it too – then it’s even more fun to eat!
Yup! I find my kids more enthusiastic about the food they help make. This one is a perfect recipe to do with them, so much fun! Thank you, Cindy! XOXO
That is such a great idea – can’t wait to try with my kids this week!
Lemme know how you and your kids make out. It’s one of those things that get the little ones excited, I think. 🙂
AWEsome pizza. I love kale. You’re a rockin’ mom. Make kale chips?
From my other blog:
https://myholistictable.wordpress.com/2013/05/30/asian-kale-chips/
Thanks, HW! I tell my kids that all the time, that I’m a pretty awesome mom, lol! Unfortunately, I don’t make kale chips. Bad, bad mom! 🙂 Will give your chips a try one of these days. So glad you stopped by and shared your recipe.
Ha ha ha. We’re so bAd and so GOOd just like that, huh? You rock.
HW
Gorgeous pizza!!!!! Every time I visit your site and see photos of your finished dish the thoughts that run through my head are: Would I should I eat the prepared dish or frame it? I certainly would not want to be the first to dig into your finished dish.
Thanks, Norma, for such a sweet compliment. I do love playing with my food and ingredients. I feel like a little kid again when I do. 🙂
Thank you for hosting. Your rainbow pizza is beautiful, and I love the back story behind it. I think the universe was giving you a sign.
I linked up my Coconut Lime Pineapple Granola because no matter what the calendar says, I am hanging onto the end of summer and all its flavors for as long as possible.
No problem, Meghan. Thank YOU for linking! And me, too, about holding on to summer as long as possible. I’m trying to eat as much ice cream before it gets too cold, haha… But maybe there’s no such thing as too cold for ice cream. 🙂
That looks so good, Angie! So creative 😀
I bet your baby girl LOVED it! I know I would 😉
Really, wonderful pizza!
Thanks, Sarah! Baby girl did love it, but you know what? I loved it, too! Maybe even more since I got to play with my food :-).
Hahaha I know exactly what you mean!
Wow, how fun! I love it! So pretty and I am sure tasty 🙂
Hi Lily! Thanks for the comment. Yes, the pizza was so much fun to make and surprisingly, very tasty! 🙂
Very creative and healthy! Love it!!
Thanks, dear! That quite made my day! 🙂
🙂 Have a wonderful weekend, Angie! X
That rainbow pizza is AMAZING! This is on the list for the weekend 🙂 Love your blog!
Thank you, Anna! I hope you like the pizza. Let me know how you make out. ?
Awesome pizza!! I have never seen this before and what a great way to make kale look yummy! I know it is so good for you but I find it a bit bitter lol!! This is a great recipe, what a dazzler!
It’s a great way to get the kids to eat veggies, that’s for sure. I’m glad you like it, Lita. Kale is not to everyone’s liking. Why do you think I had to hide it in the crust? haha…
lol! It’s a great way to get me to eat kale too!! I tried it in quiche which was a start. This looks so much nicer though. I keep reading about how amazing kale is for iron and multivitamins. Happy days.
I’m always on the search for the next great (and healthy) pizza and thismight be it. Looks gorgeous!
Thanks so much! It was very tasty and my daughter loved it! 🙂
Wow! It looks sooo amazing! ??
Thank you so much! ??
This looks sooooo awesome! love it
Thanks, Trupti! ❤️
Love this colorful and delicious and healthful pizza. It is beautiful.
Thanks, Suzanne! If only I had the energy to make this last night. My daughter would have been overjoyed! We ended up just having pizza delivery and Chic Fil A waffle fries (my MOST favorite food)!! ??
Yum sounds great to me sometimes I just don’t want to cook mainly because the dishes and lots and pan don’t clean themselves.
???
What a gorgeous recipe! You had so many signs that you were supposed to be making this recipe!
Thanks, Julie! Yes, all the signs were telling me to make the pizza 😀
