Pizza Perfection :)

My pizza turned out perfect. I must have had a bad bag of roll before. I did take them out of the freezer an hour earlier than normal to make sure they had risen a bit and they were just right


I added fresh mushrooms, red onion and green pepper, as well as some olives on a couple pieces for me.

It was so good!

I should have added some Canadian bacon - I forgot I have that now, for making dh's egg sandwiches for breakfast. Next time :)

We had a quiet day and pretty quiet evening. A few gun shots and fireworks, but off in the distance and neither lasted very long at all.

I made the sugar cookies. I had no star in my container of cutters. Oh well, I just made them circles. I tried to freehand a couple of stars. They looked ridiculous, so I just kept them all circles, LOL. They tasted very "buttery". I used an organic butter I haven't tried before. After dinner I made a banana cream pie, more for dh than me, but I did have a small slice.

I feel like I spent most of the day in the kitchen, cooking, cleaning, baking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning.

Today I need to get the rest of the container of mushrooms frozen. It appears I need to lay them on a tray and freeze them, then I can put them into a freezer bag. Worth a shot. Though they sure were good on the pizza fresh. I can only do it that way, with fresh mushrooms, if I totally plan out making a pizza a day or two after getting the mushrooms with my grocery order. I did also cut up the remaining green pepper and put that in a small freezer bag. The red onion I can use on burgers. I think I'll also freeze the other half of the jar of sauce.

How come when I'm trying to cut down on sugar, my facebook feed/video feed is filled with people making yummy looking desserts?! And of course they all look good. But one I do want to try is the peanut butter, mixed with plain greek yogurt, frozen and then covered in chocolate. I may look to see what might be a lower sugar chocolate option then melting chocolate chips. But they do look like a delicious "ice cream" type treat that is on the healthier side than eating store bought ice cream bars and sandwiches.

This morning I'm going to look into that SoFi offer more closely and read the fine print, to make sure it's workable for me and that I would make sure to follow the requirements to get the $300 from SoFi and the $125 from Rakuten.

    1. it's the easiest pizza dough - buy Rhodes Frozen dinner rolls. Use 12 and thaw out for 3-4 hours. Then just squish them all together and press out onto pizza pan.

  3. P.s. my countertops all almost identical.

  4. I’ve never tried the Rhodes rolls for crust. I always buy the pillsbury. I did see just this week that Rhodes makes a frozen pizza crust dough. I think there were 3 crusts worth in the bag for $4 something. I might try that sometime. It would be much cheaper than the pillsbury crusts, although we do like them, and they are very easy to work with.

  5. I use the Rhodes rolls to make monkey bread/cake. I only use 18 rolls. They have to be fresh & not have been in my freezer for 6 months 😫. Otherwise they won't rise. I usually only make this when we have company. It's enough for 4- 6.
    Next time I'm going to plan on making a pizza soon after.
    I love the wood plate. :):)

    1. I think that was my issue - I had bought a big bag of 72 rolls (instead of the 36) and they were in the freezer too long. I may need this monkey bread recipe!
