Buffalo Chicken Pizza

 

Fall has landed.  Football has started.  This calls for celebration.  Buffalo Chicken Pizza celebration to be exact.

Now…I’m fully aware it’s Monday, and no one likes a Monday.  They try to ruin my life.  It’s them that make me become a grouch puss and stomp around all morning with a scowl on my face.  But with Monday comes Monday Night Football.  Enter said Buff.

 

Chicken, Broccolini, Tomato, & Artichoke Flat Bread

What an incredible way to inhale, I mean incorporate more veggies into your life.  Or you children’s lives.  Or your burly husband’s life.

It can be nice to make pizzas a little different sometimes.  Change things up.  There may be particular inhabitants involved that will try to de-rail your healthy dinner epiphanies.  Try not to break down and give it.  Stay strong and focused.

Chicken Sausage Veggie Flat Breads

As I took my pooch for a stroll this afternoon I racked my brain for ideas for dinner.  I did not want to make the trek into town.  Plain and simple.

Ohh okay, flat bread, check.  Chicken sausages, Ten Four.  Random mix of fresh summer veggies, yuppers.

Cauliflower Crusted BBQ Chicken Pizza

Too legit, too legit, too legit to quit.

Seriously this little guy gets the job done.  Roasted Cauliflower crust folks.  Before your eyes bulge out of your noggin let me just say; it could change the way you look at pizza.  Forever.

Homemade Calzones With Butternut Squash & Spinach Pesto

Put your stink eye away.  Hop off that judgement train and welcome to the wild, wild west.  I like to shoot from the hip and have no holds bar when it comes to dinner.  I let that freak flag fly and just go with the flow.  When my cowboys jumps the ship and goes out of town, I revert into a vegetarian and things get wild here.  Brace yo’self.

Tonight I jammed out to Steely Dan while making dinner.  Probably because my cowboy loves Steely Dan and I missed him.  It was pretty much medicinal.  I’m pretty sure it was Steely Dan that made these calzones so amazing.  He really did the trick and they were everything I have ever dreamed of.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Raise your hand if you love pizza?  BUSTED…everyone.  Oh, except my father.  Stanley’s of this earth do not covet pizza like the rest of us.  But that is because he is a total aberration who does not like melted cheese.  I know, settle down.  Everyone is entitled to their own taste.  I don’t know if I could physically survive without melted cheese.  You could lock me in a darkened cellar and if I was given a ration of fried cheese, you wouldn’t hear from me for hours.  I mean HOURS.  I would quietly nibble away content as ever, that is until I ran through my supply.  Then there would be hullabaloo.

Spring Veggie Tortilla Pizza

This was one of those dinners.  I had been at the Farmer’s Market with a girlfriend that morning and saw the most beautiful bunch of asparagus.  I knew at that moment, that moment when time stood still and the world made sense; I wanted a fresh veggie pizza,  and it was going to have this angelic asparagus as the lustrous star.

I am a sucker for lighter than air pizza crust.  So I sat myself down and said, “why not try these tortillas?”.  Just give it a whirl and see where that road will lead me.  Well it lead me straight to Heaven town.  No place on earth like it.  Go there, you won’t want to ever return.

Arugula Pesto Shrimp Naan

This naan pizza (pun intended) about knocked my socks off.  I thought I just might slither down and melt right out of my chair.  I wanted to shout from the rooftops, “glory hallelujah I’ve found you, and I’m never leaving…ever”.
