Bacon, Goat Cheese and Tomato Pizza
Hey there, buddy! Happy Hump Day! How goes it?!
Thanks for asking, I’m also doing well! I mean, besides being all cooped up in my house, waiting for the snow storm…
March 12 = snow storm. What the… I don’t even know anymore. I just want sun, dammit! It’s hard to even imagine that one day soon we will be able to walk out there without our snow suits. To all those that love the snow, stop. We’ve had enough of it.
In other news, I am working on my photography skills. Can you tell? I have been throwing all these white-on-white photos at ya for a reason. The reason is that I reallllly, realllllllly want to become a better photographer. White-on-white photos are a challenge for me, to say the least. But, I’m trying. I’m figuring it out. I’ll get there soon enough. Make sure you let me know when all this photo jumbo gets super annoying, k? Sphanx.
A Delicious Easy Pizza Recipe

Aaaaand fourthly, we’re having pizza! I asked my 16K+ Facebook fans what recipe they wanted to see next, and ALL 5 that saw the post answered back with Pizza! Only one asked for dessert.
If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be sitting here eating bacon and goat cheese on pizza, I would have agreed because ten years ago is when I first made this pizza. I was in my little downtown apartment, playing Chef Boyardeevski, throwing pizza dough around like it ain’t no thing. Next thing you know I’m choppin’ up bacon, crumbling goat cheese and slicing tomatoes. Bada bing bada boom, pizza was made, tummy was happy. Nothing better. All was/is right with the world. The End.
ENJOY!

Hi! Thanks for the delicious pizza recipe. I will try it today!
This recipe looks delicious! Pizza is one of my all time favorites things to eat; so I’ll have to give this recipe a try soon! Thanks for sharing!
I may have already commented on this but I seriously am in love with this pizza. I so need to try it. Your photos are beautiful!
I would use it for new professional clothes for after I graduate college.
Mangas for my daughtrr!
I would use this to throw my mom a 65th bday party!!
This pizza looks amazing. I never met a pizza I didn’t like. Add on some bacon and I’m sold!
I’d buy a kitchenaid mixer, or a vita mix. I’d struggle on that decision.
First off, I’d get a new toaster!
What a pizza!!! I could definitely go for a slice of that right now.
I would buy a baker’s rack for extra kitchen storage.
I would love to put it toward a Vitamix – the granddaddy of all blenders! Time for me to jump on the juice bandwagon!

I would love to buy a kitchen aid mixer, Thank you!
I would love to update some of my bakeware, especially my old cookie sheets. I would also like to purchase a couple of new cookbooks if I won the contest, and maybe a new whisk for my kitchen.
I would use it to buy textbooks for next semester.
What would I put it towards? Flooring – the flooring in my house is a zillion years old and not even pretty.
