Friday Night Leftover Pizza
Last night we made one of my new favorite, extremely cheap meals. This is so easy, I use Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough, however if you know how to make your own that would be even better. It also helps to pre-bake the dough in a preheated 400 degree for about 4 or 5 minutes so that your crust won't soggy.
For the sauce, use equal parts pizza sauce (spaghetti sauce will work too) and barbecue sauce mixed together. Whatever brand you have on hand will do.
Use a mix of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey jack cheeses. (any of your faves that you have on hand will work too.)
For the toppings I use leftover shredded chicken, pork or beef (like from a pot roast). Then I saute onions, bell pepper, and garlic to put on as well. Top it off with more cheese and bake for another 7 to 8 minutes until everything is golden brown, bubbly and delicious!
The key here is that every thing that goes on this pizza is something that we already have at home. You can use this idea and make it your own by using up your leftovers this way.

If you feel me, let me know
Is it just me, or are there any other women out there who have been abandoned by their significant other? Almost completely ignored, except for when the dinner bell rings, or other "appetites" need to be satisfied. I am a Voyage Century widow. Unlike a sports widow, this is a 24/7, 365 days a year I may as well be invisible kind of thing. I don't withhold food or affection, which may be the reason that no matter how much I try to explain that his behavior is making me nuts, nothing changes. He just doesn't get it. Please post if you feel my pain.
