Everyone has been doing 2016 round ups and best “ofs,” which I love-it’s fun to see the year in review…
I thought I’d do something a little different and look back over 2016 in pizzas!
Pizza is my favorite thing to make, it’s a one dish meal, can be loaded with vegetables, and when you make it yourself, you control the fat and nutrition
It’s also a great way to use leftovers!
Be sure to see the printable recipe formula and chart for making your own masterpiece at the end of the post!
