5 Reasons to Ditch Takeout Pizza for Homemade

Are there other pizza lovers out there? I thought so!! Recently while chatting with my mom on the phone she asked me if I’d noticed that pizza restaurants don’t really put much sauce or cheese on the pizzas anymore. I had to tell her that I truly had no idea because “I cannot even remember the last time I had a pizza from one of the delivery type pizza places.” “You’re kidding???!!!!” she asked in disbelief. I was serious . We might order pizza once a year out somewhere, but I choose to make it at home instead.

Why would I do that when it’s so easy to order a $10 pizza out? Lots of reasons!

It’s cheaper!
It tastes better!
I can control the ingredients.
It is fun to make it at home!
It’s faster! (Let me tell you how/why! Keep reading)

Delicious Veggie Stromboli Recipe for Busy Nights

Last week I shared a few new recipes I was anxious to try. I have an update about one that was super easy and also delicious! I made the Veggie Stromboli from Skinny Taste and we really enjoyed it. A stromboli is kind of like a rolled up pizza. Sometimes homemade stromboli’s and pizzas are labor intensive, but a packaged pizza crust made this come together quickly.

I found a package of pizza dough at Aldi – not in a can, but a plastic bag. It was on sale last week for .99! I’m so glad I found this for nights when I don’t want to make my own crust. This is great for a busy night! You won’t be skimping on flavor, just time!

Flavorful Baked Chicken Fajitas Ready in 25 Minutes

I’m reposting an old recipe that is great when you need a delicious meal in a hurry. We love Mexican foods, and this dish is full of the kind of flavors we enjoy, plus it is very fast to make and is also a great do-ahead dish! That alone makes it a perfect pick for a busy day!

Typically, fajita meats are grilled, which gives them great flavor, but for a meal that needs to be on the table quickly, it’s not always the best way to go. I found this recipe on Chef in Training‘s web site (this is a great site!). She found it on another site…and so on and so on! There’s nothing new under the sun, but we must give credit where credit is due! =)
