PIZZA

I must of been in a homemade mood yesterday - I also had homemade pizza for dinner. I love this recipe and have been using it for a couple years. Our favorite way to make it is on the BBQ but we did not do that last night. I made a double batch and froze 3 of them so that when we want pizza I just have to grab one out of the freezer.

Last night I made it with pepperoni, salami, bacon and fresh pineapple. We are known to also make a garlic chicken, BBQ chicken and taco pizza. This recipe also makes good bread sticks.

This one I got of  Cooking for your family a couple years back. I love that site.
