Homemade Pizza

Sometimes, when I go to the grocery store, I wonder if the frozen pizza selections have improved since I last looked. Perhaps it's just because I am fussy about my pizza toppings (I do not like pepperoni or sausage), but I have always found frozen pizza options as so disappointing. They are so boring; so expensive; or something is wrong with it (yucky thin crust with good toppings; half good toppings and half yucky ones; etc.)

I always get disgruntled with the frozen pizza options in the end and make homemade pizza instead. It's healthier (you know what's in it!), it's more fun, it's creative, and the list goes on. I often find it is a nice, simple, yet romantic date to make a pizza with Paul. We choose our favorite toppings and he chops the toppings while I make the dough. It's great fun!

While making this particular pizza at home, I thought it would be good to write down the ingredients so that I can remember it for the future, and figured, I may as well give these brilliant pizza ideas to my readers and friends while I am at it! :)

This particular pizza includes:
*Jiffy pizza dough (my favorite due to its price, taste, and simplicity
*spaghetti sauce with onion and garlic
*chopped spinach (handful)
*1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped
*4 mushrooms, sliced
*4 leaves of basil (from my garden!), sliced
*clumps of goat cheese (1/3 a package: I roll bits into small balls and plop as much as possible on there!)
*mozzarella cheese

This pizza is SO good! I love all of these toppings and my stomach is happy with me afterwards. Yum!

While I am at it, here's another favorite homemade pizza that Paul and I adore. We ate a similar pizza at our favorite pizza restaurant, and now we make it at home with some variation:

*Jiffy pizza dough
*spicy bbq sauce
*1 roma tomato, seeded and chopped
*chicken (rotisserie chicken, you are my friend once again!)
*jalapeno slices
*red onion, chopped
*cheddar cheese
*4 mushrooms, sliced (sometimes we do not include these)

I love how this pizza is unique and spicy! Yum yum...

What about you? What are YOUR favorite pizza toppings? Please share if you can, because I love getting new ideas! :)
