Tomato Pizza Pie

August 18, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

One thing about Friday nights, is that it should be take out night.  You know celebrate the night with burritos, Chinese or pizza.  Well I really debated about ordering take out or making homemade burritos, but I was really craving the pizza!  I thought for sure that I will order a pizza, but I know I have no control, and I’ll eat, eat, and eat until I can’t move.  I love pizza too much, it’s one of my trigger foods.  I think it’s because of the crust.  So I thought what can I do to get pizza and not be so overly crazy in calories?  The image of my Husband walking into the house with a basket of tomatoes, telling me to use them up was in my head.  Hmmm, pizza, hmmm, tomatoes.  Ahhhh, a tomato pizza!!

Then I thought, but I don’t have a crust and that means I have to make one.  I’m to lazy for that and I want dinner now, not in a couple of hours.  So I opened my refrigerator and there was a lonely pie crust begging to be used.  Really it was, it has been sitting in the fridge for like 4 months or longer.  I thought, BINGO!!  I’ll use the pie crust to make a pizza!!  Oh Baby, was that a great idea!!


Let me tell you this tasted amazing!!!!!!!  So good that my Husband, the meat eater, ate half the pie and shhhhh, I ate half too!!  I couldn’t help it, it was so good!  Nothing like fresh tomatoes from the garden, fresh basil and cheese.  Holy Moly!!  The flavor was unbelievable.  I can’t believe my Husband loved it!  He went up and got three servings!!!

Now I’ll be honest with you, this pie did taste amazing, but it was a little bit watery.  But if you can live with it being a little thin on the sauce, then this pie is for you.  We didn’t care!  We just piled it on our plate and ate away and away!!!  However, maybe if I let it sit out longer it would have thicken up like lasagna does. The aroma of the pie was making me hungry and I just wanted to snap my pictures and eat!!!

The pie took about 24 minutes to cook and about 6 minutes to prepare.  Not to shabby for homemade pizza.  I guess you could consider this a deep dish pizza.  As I’m writing this, I really can’t believe my Husband loved it!!  I’m telling you if you have some fresh tomatoes, you must make this pizza!!!  You could even add other veggies to it, but I felt I would be pushing my luck with my Husband by adding peppers, onions and zucchini.  I can’t believe he didn’t even mind the spinach in it.  Yes my Friends, this is one dinner I am proud of!!

The serving for this pie is 4 people, meaning you get to eat a quarter of the pie.  The calories for this delicious tomato pizza is only 329 calories per serving.  Nice!  Now this isn’t completely healthy, after all I used a pie crust, but it’s better than the pizza parlor and to be honest this is one of the best homemade pizzas I have had!!  Little Jenny works at Round Table Pizza, and I have to tell her that I prefer my pie over Round Table!  🙂

Do you have a tomato recipe that you want me to steal?  Share it with me and I may try it out and put it on my blog.  I’m always up for good tomato recipes, especially since I see more tomatoes coming very soon in my future.  So link up a recipe and I promise I won’t steal it, I’ll give you all of the credit!

Since it’s early on my Friday, I’m going to clean up and organize my kitchen and get it ready for the weekend!  So I am off!

Have a fabulous weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I am going to try this recipe this weekend but I am adding meat to mine. A pizza is not a pizza without meat…

    I saw this on the Pillsbury Facebook page and couldn’t stop thinking about it so I gave it a try. I added homemade saugage and some green pepper to it though. I loved the filling it was really saucy and cheesy but I think next time I will skip the pie crust. To me it kind of threw off the “pizza” taste. I still loved it though thanks for sharing.

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!

I have a 20% off discount code for Downlite Bedding: DYGEN20

Do you read in bed?
