Barefoot in the Kitchen: Pizza



In my house, pizza is a must, but I hate the grease pooled extra large, extra cheese heart attack in the box that you can have delivered in 30 minutes or less. Now, I am not knocking it because yes I have and still do get a pizza on occasion, but if I have a choice then I choose to make my own. Unless I am out of time or in a hurry, then I hit speed dial. 
Pizza Ingredients 

  • Pizza dough-whatever or however you want to make it
  • Pizza sauce-homemade or choose a Chef Boyardee
  • Minced garlic and butter melted (1/2 tbsp) together
  • Seasonings: Italian, basil, oregano, crushed red pepper-optional (1 t each)
  • Veggies:
  • peppers-red, yellow, green (whatever I have on hand)
  • Spinach (on my part)
  • Red onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Black olives
  • Banana peppers
  • Turkey pepperoni
  • Italian sausage (on his part)
  • Fat free or part skim mozzarella cheese (freshly grated is optional)
  • Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)


Prepare your pizza dough. Spread it out on a pizza stone. Brush the garlic butter mixture on the pizza dough. Spread on your pizza sauce. Sprinkle the seasonings all over the pizza. Add your vegetables and then meat. Top with your cheese and bake 425 for 25-30 minutes.
