Dessert Pizza

Caedmon had his little guy party/sleepover last night and his wish was to make individual pizzas. So, I thought, why not finish with dessert pizza?
I bought some Nutella a while back because there was a coupon for Costco and I'd never tried it. I knew it had to have been used before so I found some ideas online.
I used the same dough we used for the pizzas because many of the recipes used it. I don't recommend that. It was not bad but if I could do it again, I would make the dough myself and make it a bit sweet and add a little extra butter for moisture. Or, use sugar cookie dough or shortbread Still, it was yummy, and pretty!!

1 pizza dough (brush with butter and bake 400* till done as you like)
Spread with Nutella
Top with what you like!
We put on marshmallows and returned it to the oven for a few minutes till they got puffy and gooey. Then we added chocolate chips and Strawberries.

Savoring Frugally

I had a bunch of bread crust from making the kids PB&J pockets.
So I looked for a savory bread pudding.

The Pioneer Woman had one.

I did not have bacon but I added artichoke hearts and green onion. I also used spinach.

It was lovely and seemed to be a hit for the most part.
On the food drive day through the post office, Rick brought home two loaves of bread because they said they cannot take bread. So, I plan to freeze a bunch more pockets and freeze the chopped crust separately. Thankfully, the savory bread pudding softens the crusts perfectly.
So be frugal and don't give all your bread to the ducks! ;)
