Quick! Pizza's HOT!

We all love pizza right? 
Well how about homemade pizza with fresh ingredients? 
To me, homemade and pizza are words that belong together. That and they are automatically coming to my mouth. 

mmmmm... my mouth is watering just thinking about it! 

Here's my recipe for some pretty awesome and quick pizza: 

Waht you'll need:
Lavash bread (1/2 to 1 piece per person) 
Sauce (bbq sauce, marinara, pesto, whatever you like!) - 2 tablespoons per 1/2 piece of bread
Toppings: 
Meat - chicken, sausage, sliced deli meats, whatever you like, just have it cooked and ready to go! 
Cheese - shredded and whatever blend you prefer! 
Veggies - bel peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, olives, whatever you like... go for it! 
Herbs and Spices - cilantro, fresh cracked pepper, or even a seasoning blend! 

Directions: 
Assemble your pizza right before cooking to make sure the lavash bread doesnt get too soggy! Put in a toaster oven until the edges are brown, but not too brown! For crispier crust, leave in the oven a bit longer. 

If you don't have a toaster oven, you can use the oven! 
Pre-heat your oven to 375 and then stick in your pizzas, but keep a close eye! They won't take long to crisp up! 

As you can tell, this pizza is whatever you make of it! 

Here's some shots of the BBQ chicken pizza my hubby and I enjoyed a couple weeks ago! 
The crust! 

The sauce! 

The cheese! 

Fresh veggies for under and over the cheese! 
(Fresh green onions on top after baking made each slice that much more flavorful!) 
Putting it all together! 

Mmmm... almost ready for the oven! 

 Ready to bake! 
  After a few minutes in the toaster oven... we get this warm deliciousness! 

What will you put on your pizza!?

Colorful Cookies

Summertime is not usually the time to fire up the oven and bake a batch of cookies! Eh, but then again maybe it is! Baking is never a bad thing, except when you don't want to eat all of the cookies! 

On a monthly basis I make snacks for the Saturday 5 pm service for church... its been an awesome way to come up with some great things to make! Here are the summer time cookies I made a couple weeks ago! MMMMmmmm boy, were they good! 

Here's the pin I used to find this awesome recipe:

Here's what mine looked like: 


I made cherry, lime and grape. The lime ones were my fave though I loved the color of the grape ones! 

Next time...
...I won't be afraid to make these with some whole wheat flour. 
...I will use sugar free Jello. I wonder if they will be colored with the sugar free jello?!
...Some sugar sprinkles would be a fun touch. 
...Using some citrus juice would be an increase in the flavor! (Even though these were already soooo flavorful!) 
...Peach Jello is needed for sure ... next time! 
...I will eat more before I give them away!!! :)
...I will already know that purple is not made by adding the grape jello alone! It's all food coloring on that one! 

What baking have you done during the summer?
