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.

I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
