Pizza Rolls

If you are looking for something fast and easy for lunch, dinner, or a snack this is it! It is the easiest recipe.... heck you don't even have to cook...you just kind of put it together, throw it in the oven, then eat it! Pretty much just as easy as calling your local pizza place and just as good! The best thing is you can change it up and put whatever fillings you want.... especially for those picky eaters.... *clears throat and looks away*

Ingredients:

1 Can of crescent rolls

1-2 Cup(s) of  shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp of butter
Pinch of salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning
Parmesan Cheese (optional )

Directions:

1.) Preheat the oven to the the temperature according to the can of crescent rolls
2.) Open the can and separate the crescents. Place 3 pepperoni slices on each crescent, then sprinkle about a 1/4 cup or less of the cheese on the crescent, roll it up like a usual crescent roll, and place it on the cookie sheet. Continue until you have finished all the crescent rolls.
3.) Place in oven for 9-11 minutes.
4.) Melt butter in microwaves for 30 seconds to 1 minute, mix with salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Buffalo Chicken Pizza with Bacon and Onions

 

It is a known fact that if you live in Savannah, Ga and you want pizza everyone tells you to visit Vinnie's. While Vinnie's does have great pizza.... Casey and I both agree we love Mellow Mushroom pizza better.... yum! I of course always order the same thing, exciting pepperoni pizza.... and maybe if I am up for it... add bacon (my favorite all time food). Casey on the other hand always orders their buffalo chicken pizza. Problem is if we ever crave or want to go to our favorite pizza hot spot we must drive downtown, find parking, walk to restaurant ( we sound lazy)... but sometimes you just aren't in that mood and to make it worse you are starving!

So I decided hey... lets try this whole make pizzas at home! Turns out it was a success! This one gets the hubby approved stamp! He loved it! He even said we don't even have to go to Mellow anymore... but for some reason I felt he was being a little extreme... and nice. :)

Ingredients:

3 slices of bacon (cooked and crumbled)

1/2 a small onion thinly sliced

1 package of pizza dough ( and whatever it calls for.... mine required water and oil )

2 tablespoons of ranch dressing

4 tablespoons of your favorite buffalo sauce/chicken wing sauce ( a little more for drizzling )

2-3 Chicken breast

1 cup of mozzarella

Directions:

1.) Make pizza dough according to directions (use their oven temperature). Spread dough on pizza sheet/cookie sheet.

2,) Cook bacon, drain, then cook onions in bacon grease until tender.

3.) Cook chicken with salt and pepper until done. Then Shred. Add 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce to shredded chicken until all chicken is coded with sauce.

4.) Mix 2 tablespoons of ranch and 2 tablespoons of the buffalo sauce until well mixed and spread on the pizza dough.

5.) Add chicken, then mozzarella, bacon, and onions to the pizza dough. Drizzle with the buffalo sauce and put in the oven for 15-18 minutes (follow your pizza dough instructions).

*This recipe was so simple and easy to make and soooooo worth it! Next time I will double the dough and some other things just so Casey can have more for left overs.... one of the best parts of having pizza!

Pizza Puffs

So I kind of love pizza. I could probably eat pizza for a decent amount of time before I would get sick of it. So when I saw these on one of my favorite food blogs... I instantly bookmarked it. This is a great recipe to make for a snack or light lunch to get you through the rest of the day until dinner. I also thought about making these when I make Italian style dishes instead of the common garlic bread.... just an idea.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. garlic/onion powder blend
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pizza sauce or your favorite dipping sauce


Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 375o. Grease a 24-cup mini muffin pan.

2.) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder; stir in the milk and egg.

3.) Stir in the cheese and seasonings and let stand for 10 minutes.

4.) Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes.

5.) Microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.

* I have a big kid here, I just used my regular muffin tin and doubled the recipe so that it filled all 12 muffin tins! I also added about 10 minutes to the oven time because I used the big muffin tin!
