Penny Pinching with Pizza
Like every one else on the planet, I am in serious penny pinching mode. Payday (Thursday) can not come soon enough! Until then, I'm making pizza for dinner with odds and ends in my refrigerator.
This weekend we had an old favorite, Apple Onion Cheddar Pizza. Tonight I made up the following concoction. This recipe is by no means exact - so if you give it a go, substitute with whatever you have on hand!
Barbeque Harvest Pizza
1/2 recipe of amazingly simple pizza dough
Approximately 1 cup of Stonewall Kitchen's Roasted Tomato Grille Sauce (or a barbeque sauce of your choice)
Leftover bits of roasted acorn squash
Leftover bits of roast chicken
Frozen corn
Shredded Cheddar
Compose pizza in the order the ingredients appear. Bake at 425 F for 20ish minutes, or until crust looks tasty. Eat. Be Merry.
The verdict? It was fairly delicious. I might give this one another go and add some black beans into the mix.
Do you have any fun pizza ideas? Or penny pinching meals? I'd love to hear about it!
P.S. I cannot stop drinking apple cider. Mmm, I love autumn!

We are really saving every penny we have as well, and trying to make every ounce of food that we have last. Thank you for sharing. I would love to hear more about how you are making everything last.
Mmm, that looks good. When I was a kid my family frequented a little hole-in-the-wall pizza place called Gay 90s (in Southern Calif.). Their special had cashews (yes, the nuts!) as a topping and it was DEE-LICIOUS. We all still talk about that pizza and have yet to find another pizzeria that offers cashews as a topping. Try it, you'll like it.
Penny Pinching Meals - buy a chicken it goes such a long way. This past week we had a nice sit down chicken dinner with all the yummy comfort sides. Then you can make a chicken pot pie [ you need my crust recipe it's to DIE for ] and I still have leftovers - just enough for chicken salad sandwiches on home made bread..which is like 47 cents a loaf compared to whatever the cost of bread is now.
I bet with that pizza if you added a little salsa and sour cream with the black beans you could convert it into a mexican pizza.
Last but not least - a really inexpensive snack, lunch dinner is corn chowder! I'll email that to you if you want it or better yet I'll stick it up on my blog! :)
that pizza looks so good oh my word!
