Pizza Friday

The finished pizza. Yummy!

The last few days I've had issues with being motivated enough to blog. Sad, right? It isn't that I'm lacking stuff to blog about but just didn't feel like writing. So, instead of doing anything deep, I figured I would let you know about another recipe that I found on Pinterest and tried. Nice and easy blog for the day.

Last Friday, I decided to try a new pizza recipe. I adore pizza. I especially like calling my favorite pizza joint and ordering it, but that isn't always the smart way to go financially speaking. So, making it at home it is. My typical pizza involves a Boboli pizza crust, some pre-made pizza sauce (I love Taste of the Hill sauce), and my toppings. Quick and easy.

I figured it was time for a change of pace. When I want something fresh and different, I will make my own pizza crust, but I stuck with Boboli this time and changed up the toppings. The recipe I used was for Chicken Ranch Pizza on Fake Ginger's blog. I've only had a "white" pizza once before and it was good. I decided to take the chance with this recipe, especially since it seemed simple.

To start, I mixed up 2 cloves of minced garlic and 2/3 cup of Ranch dressing after I preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Then I spread it on the pizza crust. From there, I mixed up 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan. I put half of the cheese combination on the pizza crust. I added 1 cup pre-cooked chicken, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 2 cups diced tomatoes to the pizza. Once I had all the toppings on, I added the last of the cheese. This pizza is quite cheesy.

After the pizza was put together, I put the pizza into the oven and let it cook for 12 minutes. I probably should have left it in for another minute or two, but it still tasted great. My husband really enjoyed it. My toddler was not interested in it at all. She loves pizza, but this pizza didn't look like any pizza she had ever had before so she wanted nothing to do with it. Oh well. More for my DH and me.
