Some nights are fancy…
Some nights aren’t.
There comes a time in every wife and mother’s life, when frozen pizza is worth it’s $4.99 in gold.
There are nights when the family doesn’t know the difference between fancy fresh fish and frozen tomato sauce and dough from a box.
Or doesn’t seem to care. And that’s okay.
I didn’t feel like picking around the pepperoni or tasting any of those sodium-laden pepperoni oil-infused bites so I let the family make quick work of this.
Along with a random smorgasbord from my crisper drawer, including that asparagus that I bought a week ago needed attention and a sweet potato in the back of the cupboard, I had tempeh and cucumber sticks.
I could take a bath in balsamic reduction.
I had extra bananas to use and a spare orange and so we had Baked Orange Banana Coconut Donuts with Orange Coconut Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze for dessert.
As long as I was running the oven for the pizza, may as well pop in a tray of donuts was my logic.
What’s your favorite kind of pizza crust and toppings?
Thin crust is a must for me and it must be super crispy. I hate crispy and crunchy in desserts and cookies, but for pizza crust, it’s the only way to go.
Deep dish is like eating a loaf of dough to me and I’d rather save my carbs for this kind of dough.
My favorite toppings are cheese, pineapple, and a sprinkling of hot pepper flakes. Basically a Hawaiian pizza without the bacon. Pineapple and peppers give me the sweet ‘n spicy that I love, without the sodium bomb.

Some nights i dont get fancy with my pizza either!
Gotta love these posts from 2012, right! :)
Aaaaaaah I’m your fan, I swear hahaha, I’ve been making some of your recipes and my friends are becoming crazy. I’ve noticed that there’s only like 4 recipes of pizza in your blog. I would be so happy if you make a pizza recipe, pan pizza or cracker pizza, but the real thing, I mean real pizza, old school pizza. I’m your fan but I would be totally in love with you if you make a pizza recipe. I’m so done with spending money on pizza and all those recipes out there are so… Meh. Sending a lot of love to you.
I have this pizza dough recipe https://www.averiecooks.com/2013/02/one-hour-whole-wheat-pizza-dough.html and once you make that dough, just takes an hour – you can doctor it up any way you want! I don’t make lots of pizza for my blog because well, my pizzas are always vegetarian and I don’t feel like that would be that ‘interesting’ to most people so I usually never blog about them but thanks for saying you’d like to see more pizza recipes. I’ll try as the weather cools off :)
I love seeing pizza on your blog!! Is it a first?
All pizza is pretty great in my books, and green olives are one of my favourite pizza toppings.
One other time I showed a picture of pizza when I was at a street fest, but yes, other than that…it’s a first :)
My favorite is just a plain cheese pizza!! I know, I’m so boring!
