BBQ Chicken Pizza | From Scratch


Our family loves pizza. Who doesn't though? More than anything, we love making pizza dough from scratch. Anytime I can get my littles in the kitchen with me is a blessing. They love it and I love it. This recipe is easy enough to where their little hands can easily help.

I've compared my pizza dough recipe to a few of my friends and they're all basically the same. Here's mine:

1 cup warm water
1 packet active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1. Mix the dry yeast and sugar in the cup of warm water. Place aside.
2. Mix the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the water/yeast/sugar mixer to the bowl along with the olive oil.
4. Mix until it becomes evenly doughy. (I use my hands)

Place a damp towel over the top of the bowl and let it rise for 30 minutes (or more). Roll out on a pizza tray.

Now for the good stuff...

1. Spread barbeque sauce of your choice evenly over the dough. I usually use 1/4 - 1/2 cup.
2. Finely chop 1/4 cup of spinach. Sprinkle half of it on the sauce.
3. Add cheese. I usually prefer a Monterey Jack/mozzarella mixer but whatever you like or have is fine.
4. Add 1/2 - 1 cup of cooked chicken. I usually just thaw some from my bulk meat cooking.
5. Top with 4-6 sliced mini peppers (or two large bell peppers) and the rest of the spinach.
6. Sprinkle with a touch of cilantro.

Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.

**Note: I add spinach to give the pizza a little more nutrients. Since spinach doesn't have a whole lot of flavor it can easily be added and go unnoticed if chopped finely enough.

Enjoy!

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...

20 Meals for $200

Good Evening! World's worst blogger here. (Seriously. I will never be consistent here, folks.) But I have some meal prepping for you: 20 meals for less than $200. I'm not sure the exact amount because I bought groceries for the week and a year's supply of baking ingredients (for all the Christmas goodies) and frankly, I don't want to do the math. But it's definitely in the just under $200 ball park. Let's get started... Menu | Simple Spaghetti & Meatballs Tuscan Chicken Cajun Smoked Sausage & Rice Pulled Pork Pork Tacos Teriyaki Salmon Vegetarian Chili Chuck Roast Winger's Chicken and Waffles Southwest Chicken Y'all. These are the most simple meals to throw together. Because Christmas. And I'm not going to busy myself being extra when I want to enjoy the holidays. It took me about an hour. Grocery List | 2 packages of spaghetti noodles 2 packages of rigatoni 1-2 cartons of broth (this is to add to the meals when cookin...
