Homemade pizza will forever be one of my favorite things in the world.

I love the smell of homemade pizza baking. I love being able to choose exactly what is going on our pizza. I love getting the kiddos involved and everyone making their own tiny pizzas.

Homemade pizza is just fun and delicious and making your own homemade crust is so much easier than you think! …

Grilled Tequila Steak Pizza

Jun 19, 2019

This post sponsored by Beef Loving Texans.

Grilled Tequila Steak Pizza – steak marinated in tequila, lime juice, and chipotle peppers and grilled to perfection. Layered on a grilled flour tortilla with cheese and a delicious corn and tomato topping. Easy and quick enough for a weeknight dinner!

I’ve never really called myself a Texan. I mean, I just moved here 4 years ago, I don’t own boots, and I’m definitely not a Cowboys fan.

But a couple weeks ago I recognized someone’s truck because of the cowboy hat on the dash.

Pretty sure that was the moment I became a Texan.

And one thing I’ve learned over the last 4 years is that Texans love beef.

Chicken Alfredo French Bread Pizza – easy weeknight meal the whole family will love! French bread layered with alfredo sauce, chicken, bacon, green onions, tomatoes, and 2 cheeses.

Hi guys! How was the weekend?

I started my weekend with a call from the school nurse on Friday afternoon that lead to an urgent care visit to see if stitches were needed.

They weren’t.

Then we skipped a soccer game (because of the injury), lost one soccer game 10-0, and had a football game called off in the 3rd quarter because of lightning (we were losing that one, too).

We kind of just lazed around Sunday. Watched some football. Made some French bread pizzas.

Bacon Alfredo Pizza

Mar 19, 2018

Bacon Alfredo Pizza – homemade pizza recipe with easy alfredo sauce, crispy bacon, spinach, and mozzarella!

We’re not going to talk about this crust.

Okay, fine, we’ll talk about it.

So I didn’t use my regular crust recipe because it calls for, like, 5 cups of flour and this was Spring Break and I’m not about to take all my kids to the grocery store for flour. So I used a recipe that sounded delicious – I mean, honey wheat pizza crust? That only needs 2 3/4 cups of flour?

Sold.

Corned Beef Pizza Rolls

Mar 11, 2018

Corned Beef Pizza Rolls – corned beef, swiss cheese, and thousand island dressing rolled up in pizza dough and baked until golden and delicious! Only 4 ingredients and totally addictive!

Hi guys, this is late. Super late. I had a weird week.

I actually made a pizza for this post. Like, a real corned beef pizza with homemade slow cooked corned beef turned into a hash and put on pizza crust with lots of cheddar cheese. And then I cracked 3 eggs on top and was sure it was going to be the most delicious corned beef hash breakfast pizza ever created.

But I forgot about it and by the time I remembered, the hash was black and the egg yolks were definitely not runny.

Oh well.

My kids enjoyed these Corned Beef Pizza Rolls so much more anyway.

52 Pizzas – Roasted Garlic and Cauliflower Pizza

Mar 04, 2018

Roasted Garlic and Cauliflower Pizza – pizza with a roasted garlic ricotta sauce and topped with cauliflower, tomatoes, and fresh basil! Perfect meatless option for pizza night!

Hi guys, I’m obsessed with cauliflower and I’ll talk about it more in an upcoming post because it’s, like, a thing in my life right now.

A real thing.

Like, we ordered fried cauliflower at Megg’s the other day because I couldn’t resist.

So naturally I had to put it on pizza.

52 Pizzas – Texas Toast Pizza

Feb 18, 2018

Texas Toast Pizza – quick and easy way to to do pizza night! Garlic Texas toast with pizza sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you love! Ready in less than 10 minutes and a kid favorite!

Happy Sunday, y’all!

Last cheater week, I promise. Maybe.

Okay, hopefully.

My life is still a crazy busy mess. So crazy that BF was actually in charge of this recipe. He made these Texas Toast Pizzas for the boys months and months ago and I noticed them when I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone while avoiding doing something important and time sensitive early last week.

ANYWAY. I casually mentioned to him that I was thinking about making them for this post and the next day all the ingredients were magically in the kitchen and he was ready to make them for me.

If I haven’t mentioned it yet, I don’t deserve him.

Also, yesterday he was outside washing his truck and came inside and said, “There’s a big long-haired German shepherd out here if you want to meet it” and yes, of course I want to pet the giant dog while you make small talk with the neighbors. This is exactly how I need this relationship to work.

52 Pizzas – Pizza Muffins

Feb 11, 2018

Pizza Muffins – only 5 ingredients! Canned biscuits pressed into a muffin tin and filled with pizza sauce, pepperoni, and cheese! Kids love these!

Is this cheating?

You guys, it’s all I had time for this week. Plus, I know ya’ll love a quick and easy recipe every once in a while. Five ingredients, nothing to prepare in advance, and kids love them.

So how was the week? We had another busy one because of the move. We were back and forth a lot and I had to get power and water and I still haven’t had time to get a mailbox but that’s number 1 on the list for tomorrow. And it’s stupid cold in Texas again and I just don’t want to go anywhere or do anything because I am not made to function in cold climates.

Freezing rain this morning, guys.

Freezing. Rain.

I’m not cut out for it.

Truly don’t know how I survived in Colorado for 4 years.

52 Pizzas – Pesto Sausage Pizza with Mushrooms and Olives

Jan 28, 2018

You guys.

I didn’t think this post was going to happen this week.

Months ago I started complaining that my oven temp was off because all my cookies were turning out flat and I almost had a full on breakdown a few weeks ago when boyfriend asked for cookies for a work thing and both batches came out flat and I had to send them anyway because he didn’t tell me until the night before.

Not that I’m still upset about it or anything.

Men though.

So yeah, it finally stopped working this week. And I, of course, didn’t realize it until after I thought it had been preheating for 20 minutes and was about to put 2 sheets of veggies in for dinner.

Ugh.

Anyway, the guy came out the next day and got it heating up again but now the whole house smells like gas when I turn it on and maybe I just won’t bake anything else until I move out of here.

52 Pizzas – Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Jan 21, 2018

Barbecue Chicken Pizza – a delicious and easy recipe for pizza night! Barbecue sauce, chicken, bacon, pineapple, and red onion layered with colby jack cheese!

Hi, hello, I sliced a portion of my finger off making this pizza yesterday.

I came very close to quitting cooking forever because that was beyond traumatizing. I’ve never cut myself while cooking. Sure, I’ve accidentally grated my thumb on the cheese grater because haven’t we all? But to just slice off some of your finger?

No.

If you never see bacon on this blog again, remember this post.

52 Pizzas – Fig, Burrata, and Prosciutto Pizza

Jan 14, 2018

Hi guys, happy Sunday!

It’s pizza day.

I used some suggestions from you guys this week, spent a stupid amount of time watching pizza videos on Youtube, and stopped into Trader Joe’s for their crust. Oops.

Really though, you just can’t beat their crust. Its fresh, it’s less than 2 bucks, and it works perfectly every time.

Oh, can we talk about this Trader Joe’s I went to? I usually go to the one by the Arboretum because it’s the closest to my house (still an hour away, y’all) but we happened to be further south and ended up at one that involved a parking garage and an escalator.

And y’all, I expect that sort of thing from Whole Foods but Trader Joe’s? That seems extreme.

Meatball French Bread Pizza

Aug 18, 2017

Meatball French Bread Pizza – perfect for pizza night! French bread with pizza sauce, homemade meatballs, and lots of cheese. Easy and delicious!

Heeeey guys, happy Friday!

Do you guys do pizza on Friday night? We usually do but we’ve been off our usual routine this summer and I’m trying to get back into it. School starts in, like, a week and a half here. Ugh.

I took them school shopping the other day. I don’t wanna talk about it.

ANYWAY.

Our babysitter got my oldest kiddo really into cooking a few months ago. Like, I would come home at night and find pancakes in the fridge for the next morning or brownies on the counter with a note that said they were just for me. Every time I went out, they would make something together.

So now, he really enjoys being in charge of pizza night. He loves for me to buy the pizza dough from Trader Joe’s or French bread for pizzas like this Meatball French Bread Pizza. And then I always serve my really easy Cheesy Breadsticks on pizza night.

BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza

May 30, 2017

BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza recipe – delicious sweet and spicy pizza. Layers of barbecue sauce, pulled pork, jalapenos, pineapple, and lots of cheese!

Heeeey guys, how was the long weekend?! What’d you grill?

I grilled nothing. Let’s be real, I still don’t know how to work either of the 2 grills on my back porch. All those posts about grilled stuff? Someone had to come help me.

I know.

What kind of food blogger am I?

So I ended up hiking with the husky, as I do most weekends I don’t have the kids. I’ve got some heavy stuff going on right now and it helps to be totally alone in the woods with nothing to do but sort things out in my head.

Plus, the husky loves it.

English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas

Sep 15, 2016

This post written in partnership with Smithfield.

Okay.

Let’s talk breakfast.

You know I do this every September.

I’m over cereal. I have 3 boys – do you know how much cereal we go through? And it’s kind of expensive.

So I am officially on the hunt for easy, quick breakfast. Did I mention they need to be easy? And quick?

Yeah, easy and quick.

Grilled Shrimp and Goat Cheese Naan Pizza

Aug 23, 2016

This summer I’ve teamed up with Bertolli Olive Oil to remix two classic summer recipes. I spun the Bertolli Olive Oil bottle to see what classic summer recipes I got to recreate with my own spin and landed on a pizza and salsa.

As excited as I am for fall, I’m pretty sad to say goodbye to grilling and eating dinner outdoors and all that comes along with that. I had an amazing summer filled with delicious food and I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye to my grill just yet.
