O Christmas Treat Pizza

This Christmas pizza treat will require and adult's assistance, but the kids will love trimming the "tree" with spinach and feta snowflakes.

Ingredients
1 package frozen, chopped spinach
Yellow, red, and orange bell peppers
Olive oil
Cornmeal
Pizza dough for one 12-inch round pizza
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 to 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese
Feta cheese

Instructions
*Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cook the spinach, drain, and press it to squeeze out excess liquid. Set aside
*Use tiny cookie cutters to shape circles and stars from the peppers, set aside.
*Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with olive oil, then sprinkle on the cornmeal. Roll the dough into a circle and place on the pan, pushing the edges to the rim.
*Spread the tomato sauce on the dough and sprnkle on the grated Romato cheese. Top with the chopped spinah and then drizzle olive oil over the spinach. Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the spinach and arrange the pepper circles.
*Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bottom of the crust is browned. Cut the pizza into triangular slices and then trim the crust to form a trunk. Finally top each slice with a yellow star. Makes one 12-inch pizza.
