Pizza it is what to eat for any meal. Many people get tired of pizza or think it is just always the same old thing. NOOOOO - there are so many options that I bet many would never even think of. It can be made for any meal and then there is dessert!
Maybe today you will see an idea to use that will change your ideas about pizza.
CRUST
It can be made from all kinds of things - not just traditional pizza dough. USE what you HAVE
Flat bread, tostada shells, buns, Italian bread, tortillas, bagels, English muffins, sandwich bread (toasted)
You can put pizza toppings on potato skins
Mix an egg and some cheese with leftover spaghetti or pasta and par bake for a few minutes and then top with pizza toppings and bake
Mix an egg & cheese with hash browns, rice or diced/riced cauliflower for a crust (lower carbs)
Your crust can be anything!!!!!!! Think outside the pizza box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FLAVORS
Traditional pizza is yummy - but if you are tired of that - get funky with it.
Think Mexican, Creole, Greek, Cajun, Thai, Asian, Mediterranean .....................
You can mix up flavors and sauces and ingredients to make anything at all. How fun.
TOPPINGS
ANYTHING is a go. Any type of veggie, meat, or cheese. Can use any leftovers - maybe BBQ pulled pork, mac n cheese, taco meat and beans, asparagus spears, ham, turkey, chicken, sausage, beef stick, smoked sausage, hotdogs, whatever type of cheese you have, drained chili........there is NO right or wrong and NO limits to what you can use. Yes there are even people that add pineapple to regular pizza!!! (oh ick)
I can't tell you how many times I have had traditional pizza the day after for breakfast. I am not picky about what and when. Food is food in my book and anything can be eaten at any time.
BUT if you are - here is an idea:
Zucchini as a crust!! I have done this several times - very healthy and extremely tasty. Potato slices could be used as well. There are NO limitations.
DESSERT
I did mention desserts! Yep, I have done that as well. Such a treat - great for any occasion or event
These are just super good.
So pizza isn't just pizza any more. It can be had for any meal with anything you have. It can be made into any ethnic flavor you desire.
THERE ARE NO RULES
In a rut for meals? Do something a little different - use WHAT YOU HAVE on hand and create what may become a family favorite.
Have a fun pizza type day!!!!!!!
Pizza for breakfast is always good! I always enjoy the fruit pizza too! When I was a kid I used to make little pizza's with the canned biscuits. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYou betcha! I love pizza for breakfast. I bet those were some of the best pizzas ever! Love those kind of memories of things we did as kids.
DeleteHave a great day!
My two favorites with leftovers -- olive oil instead of red sauce, parmesan or romano cheese, diced ham and pineapple, with a little diced red onion, and topped with lots of mozzarella and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes; and one with BBQ sauce instead of red sauce, leftover chicken, and diced onion, topped with mozzarella. Yum! Thinking it's what's for dinner tonite.
ReplyDeleteLove to see others already have some different favorites! BBQ sauce instead of standard sauce sounds good.
DeleteYum - enjoy dinner!!!
I actually plan to take some pizza dough out of the freezer in order to make a couple of different versions this weekend! A great way to use up leftovers.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be a restaurant here in Toronto (Marche) who served a breakfast pizza - I remember one of my young nephews thinking this was the best thing EVER the first time I took hime there. :-)
Great minds. I have had pizza this week as well.
DeleteBreakfast pizzas are really good.
ENJOY
A "sauce" I love for breakfast pizza is country gravy. I top a crescent roll crust with gravy, browned sausage or bacon, scrambled eggs, a sprinkling of hash brown potatoes, chopped onion and green peppers, and shredded cheese and bake. So yummy!
ReplyDeleteOooooohhhhhh drooling now!!!!!!!!!!!! Dang girl that sounds like a little piece of heaven!
DeleteThank you.
I love pizza of all kinds, that fruit pizza looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteMe too - one of my favorite food groups!!!!! LOL
DeleteAs I was reading this I was thinking " get that gal a pizza, she is starving!" LOL. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI had pizza already this week!!!
DeleteHave a great one.
Fruit pizza is delicious! Back in the day, when I worked for Lebanon Community Schools, the ladies were always bringing in all sorts of goodies. Got lots of recipes! When I worked for the assistant superintendent, our receptionist brought in a sugar cookie pizza with cream cheese topping and fruit. My girls used to eat cold pizza for breakfast. When my oldest was at Ball State, I couldn't believe all the Pizza King locations. We recently took a frozen pizza, added more veg and some leftover taco meat. Pizza Hut used to have the best taco pizza. Pizza is certainly adaptable to the ingredients at hand. The Italians probably don't recognize what we have done to pizza in this country! ha!
ReplyDeleteOh for sure - we have permanently altered the look and taste of pizza!!! I have done that as well - with store bought pizza. Aldi sells a pretty good fresh pizza for a good price. Get one now and then and ADD tons of goodies to it.
DeleteI love cold pizza - not just for college kids!!
I can eat pizza morning, noon, and night. Makes no difference to me. LOL
ReplyDeleteMe too!!!!!!!
DeleteVery creative and delicious ideas Cheryl! Thanks for sharing!! One of my favorite pizzas is a breakfast pizza with a biscuit crust, country gravy as the sauce and topped with sausage, green peppers, & a mixture of cheeses. So good!! I also enjoy my pizzas with beef on them and I tried a cheeseburger pizza once that was fantastic. Take care and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks. My goodness you all have great ideas. Biscuit crust topped with gravy - Mmmmmmm.
DeleteI did a cheeseburger pizza once - and you are right - fantastic.
For some reason Philly beef and cheese just entered my head!
Thanks and you have a great one as well.
We love pizza here. We make homemade, crust and all. Occasionally we might do takeout but mine is better. I do want to try making a breakfast pizza with white gravy, scrambled eggs and sausage and cheese.
ReplyDeleteAnd fruit pizza is so good in the spring/summer.
One thing I've never heard of is Fish pizza. I've had shrimp pizza but not fish. I think it would work as well as fish tacos. But I"m not brave enough to try making it. lol
I would think shrimp would be great on pizza. I guess it would depend on other toppings. Surely there is someone out there that has done that with fish. Like you said we have fish tacos!
DeleteYummy ideas, thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are more than welcome. Enjoy!
DeleteI just have to say I LOVE pizza for breakfast. Also, leftover fresh fried fish.
