Supposedly anyone who doesn’t like pizza is a weirdo.
I guess that makes me a weirdo.
You’ve got your Pizza Hut, your Dominos, your Papa Murphy’s and John’s…none of them appeal to me.
As a kid, teachers would try to entice our class with pizza parties. I’d attend other 8-year-olds’ birthdays, where I’d be left behind by the stampede of kiddos flocking to assault the pizza boy. I had friends who were shocked to discover they weren’t likely to be served pizza at my sleepovers. I couldn’t have even told you where the nearest pizza place was.
And it’s still that way to this day (minus the class pizza parties, sleepovers, and 8-year-olds’ birthdays, of course).
However, the people I’m related to actually like pizza. It’s a wonder we share the same gene pool. And these people requested I follow up my Rolled Fondant Bows with something whose main ingredient isn’t sugar. Oh, the nerve!
But you know that thing call “unconditional love?” I have that for them. So no matter how much some of their quirks annoy me, or their tastes perplex me, that unbreakable bond remains.
At least those oddballs I call my family gave this pizza their stamp of approval! The crust was a little too wheat-y, which is why it’s still being perfected (**recipe to come!**).
Do I even need to ask if this looks good to you pizza-lovers?
Pizza toppings include: Grilled chicken slices, red bell peppers, green bell peppers, orange bell peppers, a few white onion rings, 3/4 cup (3 ounces) fat free mozzarella cheese, and this delicious sauce…
Easy Peasy Pizza Sauce
Makes enough sauce for one 12″ pizza
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 cloves’ worth)
- 1 8-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ground pepper and/or salt, to taste
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over low heat. Add garlic and saute until it begins to turn slightly brown.
- Add tomato sauce. Add basil and oregano. Stir and increase to medium heat until the sauce reaches a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and let it simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Once finished, allow it some time to cool and thicken before spreading onto pizza crust.
