Thin crust pizza
Everyone loves pizza! You can cater this recipe to your own taste with tons of toppings choices and spices. You can make this a low calorie dinner, if that what you are looking for 🙂 This is one of my favorite week night dinners. It is simple and satisfying. I prep a variety of toppings and everyone piles on their favorites – most commonly pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and olives. I’ve also tried various pre-made crust. I am happy with pretty much any brand that offers a thin crust. I’ve made my own from kits before and from scratch. I’ve had success with all methods, but as a busy mom, I welcome the time savings of the pre-made options. This really is a delicious, fun, and filling dinner!
