Pesto, Tomato & Mozzerella Cheese Pizza

And what do you do with lots of leftover pesto? Use it for pizzas of course! This pizza is so simple and delicious. We used whole wheat pizza dough and it was divine. I don't think think that my husband would of known it was whole wheat if I hadn't told him. The tomaotes, fresh pesto and mozzerella are the perfect flavor combination. Sprinkle a little bit of fresh parmesan and basil on top after the pizza has finished cooking and you have quite the tasty za.

You Will Need:

• 1 ball of pizza dough (we used whole wheat for this recipe)
• 1/4 cup fresh pesto or store-bought
• 1/2 of a 12oz bag of mozzarella cheese
• 1 vine ripened tomato, sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 Tbsp olive oil

Here We Go:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F
• Roll out dough to desired thickness using your hands or a rolling pin if you have one
• Sprinkle olive oil over stone or baking sheet to avoid dough sticking
• Place dough on pizza stone or baking sheet
• Top dough with pesto, tomato and mozzerella cheese
• Bake for 10-12 minutes on top rack, or until golden brown
• Sprinkle with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese if desired

BBQ Chicken Pizza with Smoked Gouda and Caramelized Onions

Has anyone tried the new Domino's pizza crust and sauce (well, I guess it isn't all that new anymore)? Not gonna lie, it is pretty freaking good! I used to be a Domino's hater (or rather a Papa John's lover) but I might be a convert after trying their new and improved pizza. The best part about ordering Domino's delivery is the pizza tracker! You can go online and add whatever toppings and sauce you want. They then tell you exactly when your pizza is being created, placed in the oven, quality checked and finally out the door on its way to you! What does this BBQ pizza have to do with Domino's? Not too much, but this pizza is pretty amazing and could beat any delivery pizza any day of the week!

You Will Need:

• 1 ball of pizza dough (I prefer Whole Foods)
• 1 1/4 cups BBQ sauce 
• 1/2 of a 12oz bag of mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 sweet onion, cut into thin strips
• 1/4 cup smoked gouda, finely grated
• 1 bonless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

Here We Go:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F
• Roll out dough using your hands or a rolling pin if you have one
• Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in small skillet and cook chicken 7-10 minutes, or until no longer pink and set aside
• Heat remaining Tbsp of olive oil in skillet and saute onions for roughly 10 minutes, or until clear and caramelized
• Place dough on pizza stone or baking sheet
• Top dough with bbq sauce, cheeses, chicken and onion
• Bake for 10-12 minutes on top rack, or until golden brown




Yields 8 slices (depending on size of pizza)
