Homemade Saturday: Pizza

Pizza, it's one of the comfort foods of America.  In our house it is one of those solutions to "it's an hour before supper and we don't know what to do".  Versatile, easy to personalize, and pretty much universally liked by all.  Pizza is a wonderful quick supper.

I was going to share the recipe as I have on all the other Homemade Saturday posts, but realized how difficult it would be.  Other than the crust recipe, (which I am sure everyone has their own) pizza can be so unique to the person and spontaneous that no recipe is needed.

So I decided instead to simply share some photos from one of the times (I think this summer actually) this dish came to our rescue one Saturday night.

{Bacon: a crucial ingredient to many meals and a wonderful addition to most.}

{Bacon + olives = one of my favorite pizzas}

{Mom's homemade from scratch crust}

{Recently we have taken the "from scratch" level one more step, by making our own mozzarella cheese for the pizza}

{Our own tomato/pizza sauce}

{This is one of our favorite summer pizzas - tomatoes and zucchini with some garlic on top!}


{Then of course there is Ham and Pineapple.. pretty much most popular in this house!}


And what do you know, we are planning on having pizza tonight! :)  Except this time Chicken Alfredo pizza...
