Pizza puddle – Africa turns into an ocean of cheese
So you might remember this pizza from when I asked you to name the pepperoni countries.
What you didn’t see was the cooked version. Elina from Healthy and Sane is holding a giveaway for the Now Eat This! cookbook (you should go enter!), and with it, she showed pictures of her attempt at cheese sticks. I say “attempt” because ultimately they were more like puddles of battered cheese. Ooey, gooey, yummy puddles of cheese.
Well see my pizza up there? He was actually part of 3 small pizzas on that stone:
(Sorry for the blurriness)
When baked, I had quite the pizza cheese puddle.
I expected some possible flooding, but not quite like that. Notice how the bottom one doesn’t even look like it melted at all, but boy did the top two, oy! That didn’t stop us from eating them, though, yum.
Just make it smile – Crockpot pizza
Most of us don’t have the time to make elaborate foods and I, for one, don’t have the energy or desire to always put a ton of time into a dish, even if I had the time.
But smiley faces are so simple and for some reason, they’re always so lovable. It’s one of my go-to “fun things” that the kids love, but only takes an extra 30 seconds of my time usually. I’ve talked about this before, but it’s worth repeating. Just make it smile and you’ll be surprised who will smile right along.
Crockpot Pizza
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup water
1 can tomato sauce
pizza seasonings (you could just use your favorite pizza sauce, too, or google a new pizza sauce recipe to try out)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (any pizza kind you like will do)
pepperoni slices
1/2 cup sliced olives
any other pizza toppings you like
Brown beef, onion, and garlic as you normally would, making sure you drain off the grease. Mix in the sauce, seasonings, and water. Pour into the crockpot. (I don’t have issues with mine sticking, but if you’re concerned, you can grease the inside of your crockpot).
Mix the flour, milk, eggs, and cheese in a bowl. Pour over the top of the meat mixture in your crockpot. Layer on the rest of the pizza ingredients however you like (smiley face is only an example….get creative!).
Place the lid on tightly and cook for about 3-4 hours on high. When it starts looking brown and puffy, it’s ready to eat.
Cheesy pizza billboards – So good you can almost taste it
Or not. But you can at least giggle at them!
Another Donatos one. I’ve only ever had those pizzas in Columbus, OH, so I don’t know if they’re elsewhere even. I know they definitely got creative with the advertising, though.

Mmm, extra cheese.
Looks like Papa John’s getting in on the cheesy action, too.
