I
have been presented with an interesting kitchen challenge. Until little one has
been potty trained I will be doing what I can to avoid high acid foods in our
meals. Without going into too much detail, foods like tomatoes and citrus hurt
his bottom. Avoiding these foods has been a very big challenge for me. Many of
my favorite meals include some type of tomato. One of husband’s favorite snacks
is clementines and they are finally in season but I feel guilty buying them. I
hate eating things in front of little one that he can’t eat.
As
difficult as it has been to avoid these foods (and some of my favorite recipes)
I have looked at it as a way to branch out and try new recipes or recipes I
haven’t tried for a while. This recipe fits into this challenge of mine
perfectly. I love love love pizza. Pizza sauce isn’t a good fit in our house
right now. I’ve used pesto as our sauce but I needed more variety. I remembered
that I had this recipe sitting in the binder and that husband and I enjoyed it
years ago. While I am not the biggest fan of Alfredo sauce I remember this
pizza being very tasty.
In
the interest of time (and serving sizes) I have been keeping personal sized
premade pizza crusts in the freezer. My pizza crust recipe makes eight personal
sized pizzas. When I make a full sized pizza I make four personal sized pizza
crusts as well and pop them in the freezer. Eventually I have enough to make
mini pizzas and I haven’t spent additional time making crust again. At dinner
time each person gets one pizza and I can adjust toppings if needed.
I
didn’t need to make adjustments to this recipe other than brands. I used bacon
bits because I had them left over from salads. I would have used turkey bacon
if I had it on hand. The chicken was left over from chicken souvlaki so it had
an extra punch of flavor.
Enjoy!
