Pizza Pizza! Muffin Tin Monday

I've mentioned before that we live too far out for pizza delivery to be an option, but honestly, that's a good thing.  Because I can make my own pizza which is so much cheaper and healthier.
This was the first time I've made pizza with a white sauce.  We usually do the typical red sauce, or sometimes pesto sauce.  I made the alfredo sauce from scratch, because there is nothing nastier than alfredo sauce from a jar (it's just awful!).  Toppings were mozzarella cheese, fresh mushrooms, and turkey bacon.  Not the healthiest pizza I've ever made (still healthier than Pizza Hut I'm sure!), but it was delicious.  Sides were a salad (once again, rejected by Pierce) and apple slices.  The pizza and apples were devoured.

Check out more fun food ideas at Muffin Tin Mom.

    We love homemade pizza around here. We like it a lot better than delivery (even though that's yummy, too lol). We sometimes mix a little pesto sauce into our alfredo (or red sauce, but we usually make a white pizza with mozzarella, tomato, and basil. YUM!).

    That pizza does look delicious! We live close enough to go out for pizza, but we almost always opt for homemade instead. It is way better that anything we could get at a restaurant.
    (Talk to you soon) :)

    Ooh, that does look good. While we have a few small town pizza joints to choose from we prefer home made. It is sooo much better.

    Your combo sounds delish.

    Looks great to me!!! I tried Alfredo sauce from a jar only once--and I won't buy it again. Maybe it depends on the brand, but the kind I had was also awful.

    I am awaiting the day when Pierce finally eats some salad. You may need to throw a party. :)

    The pizza looks really good Lisa! It's lunch time and I'd love to give it a try. I've never had pizza with white sauce.

    I'm so glad to hear that you use fruit as a side. My kids rarely eat vegetables so I always have grapes or apples or oranges as a backup. My husband would agree with you about jarred alfredo.

    The pizza looks and sounds delicious. Surprisingly my girls love salad, they will actually ask for it. As long as they have some Ranch to dip it in.

    My oldest would be thrilled with a white sauce pizza. He doesn't like red sauce on anything!

    one of the earlier meals I learned to make. A roomie worked in a shop and taught us all how to make a pie. We took turns each Sunday making our creations.I cook them on my grill in the summer.

    Turkey bacon? Ummm, no. But you are a mother of young children, so you are allowed to be healthy. :)

    All looks good. What can "we" do to get Pierce to eat salad?

    Dang that looks good! I would much prefer the white sauce. Sometimes the red is sweet and I don't like that.

    I've never bought alfredo sauce in a jar because it just looks gross. I need the real thing. I have used ranch dressing as a white sauce on pizza also. Very yummy. As always I love muffin tin mondays!
