Tomato, Basil, & Goat Cheese Pizza

My "garden" is delivering it's first batch of produce already; actually I just have a collection of potted plants on the patio--tomatoes, peppers, and herbs.  I have about a dozen plants in terra cotta pots, and the kids have designated plants to care for, though it's mostly me watering them daily!  (I'm talking about watering the plants, not the kids!).

My first tomato ripened up already, and I've had basil going for awhile, so I whipped up a small pizza to highlight the summer vegetables.  I used some yeast and a mix of whole wheat and white flour for the dough, then topped it with goat cheese, the tomato, dried oregano, and drizzed olive oil.  After baking I sprinkled on the fresh basil leaves--chopped at the last minute to release the flavor.  Great summer fare!
