This recipe was originally posted 3/19/2014 but I’m updating it today because —> I <3 all things Pizza.
I took down most of the original post because it’s basically me complaining about moving 7 times in 7 years and being stressed out buying our first home. Here is a fun little excerpt:
“Most stressful 33 days (yep we were in breach of contract) not of my life, but definitely since wedding planning four months ago. Now it’s all over and time to move… oh great now we get to move… Well, I’ve moved every single year for the last SEVEN years and always in the summer when it’s unbearably hot. I AM SO EXCITED to know that as long as we can make our payments I don’t have to move again for a very very very long time. Thank you, Lord…. I am eternally grateful. Okay, let’s totally switch topics to pizza meatloaf now, because that is a totally normal segway right?”
Well, our house went up in value and we sold so that I could quit my 70 hours a week job and moved to a different house. So now I have moved 10 times in 10 years. One year I didn’t move and another I moved twice in one year. How is it that I still have so much stuff to get rid of?
I wish I could say that we are finally staying put, but that’s doubtful. We moved next to a power plant and it freaks me out, so some day, god willing, when babies become a thing, we will likely be looking to move AGAIN.
Is that crazy? I’m also a certified hypochondriac married to a doctorate level hypochondriac sooooooo there is that. The other day I had a piece of celery stuck in the back of my throat that I naturally assumed was a tumor until it was retrieved and identified, so ya that’s where I’m at. Luckily, no celery in these babies, but I did hide some zucchini in them!

Yummy recipe! My favorite pizza topping is Canadian bacon and pineapple. I can never get enough of that. White pizza is so good, though! Hmmmm maybe a Hawaiian pizza with white sauce? Gotta try that sometime!
Hubby and I moved every year when our apartment leases were up just so we could try something new. It was a pain to move each time, but it was also fun to get a new place. I think we did that about 5 times before we got our first house which we’ve been in since 2010. The home buying experience was incredibly stressful. I think that comes standard with buying a house or something. It was ridiculous.
Congrats on your new home, by the way! All that stress is worth it in the end.
From 70 hours a week to a power plant… hmmmmmmmmm
On the other hand, these sound DELISH
Right???? ha ha oh. life.
Still blows me away that you move next to a power plant. Yum pizza!
That is a lot of moving! These look great! Ill take pizza in any form!
How many servings does this recipe make? I have a large family of 6 & wanted to know if I need to double it. Thank you
It makes about 5-6 mini loaves, so if you think someone will want more than one then I would double it!
These sound so yummy! I love ANYTHING pizza related!
