Company’s Comin’ and All I’ve Got is a Frozen Pizza!!!!

Don’t worry, you can make snacks with a "WOW factor" out of plain ol’ frozen cheese pizzas.  Before baking, top with one of these:

  • My absolute favorites:  Crumbled feta, Kalamata olives and baby spinach
  • Pull a jar of roasted red pepper from the pantry and cut into strips….top with arugula after baking…YUM!!!!
  • In Cherokee County, Georgia, we can run out in the backyard and pick a tomato and pull about 8 leaves from a basil plant.  Slice the tomato and roll the basil leaves up into a tiny log and slice….eating fresh can make a cheap cheese pizza into a masterpiece!!!!
  • Get out the lunchmeat….slices of salami or prosciutto are perfect toppers
  • Artichoke hearts, sauteed golden brown onions, minced garlic and Parmesan cheese
  • If you can’t afford a fancy vacation…..we didn’t go on one this year….. drizzle on a little olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme, oregano and parsley, then add some of your favorite olives…..mine are Kalamata and then grate on some Parmesan…..there is a wonderful American Parmesan called Locatelli….I got mine at Costco……….Voile!!!!!!!! You’re magically transported to a sidewalk bistro in Rome…………..CIAO!!!! 

You don’t have to be rich to enjoy quality food.  Live life with EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!
