Homemade Pizza Night

We have a habit or tradition of ordering pizza on Friday nights as I’m sure many other families do.  In a continued effort to not eat out, I made our pizzas tonight at home.   We have done this many times before.   Baked on a pizza stone the crust always has a nice crunch to it.  As usual this dinner was made from my pantry inventory.  I try to have pizza crust mixes in the basement.  Cheese is a staple in our house as is tomato sauce.  I used black olives, fresh mushrooms, red onion, green pepper and some of my cooked chicken breast from earlier in the week. 

I diced my vegetables smaller than normal today and thought they worked well.  Clay requested a more substantial crust today than I normally would use.  So I used two dough mixes for our crust.  If you have made pizza on your own before you know it tastes great and the kids like to help with the toppings.  If for some reason you have shied away from homemade pizza, I encourage you to take the plunge.  I use store brand dough mix that only has to sit for 5-10 minutes and it always turns out well.  Reuse the meats and vegetables in your fridge from the week.  Create a meal together as a family and save your money this week
