    Question of the Day - Saturday, December 6th, 2025

    GF is Gluten Free Look at the pix I posted. Then skip the meat, and substitute with veggies of choice. Refried beans are meatless. That is why I always make an assortment of pizzas. Usually 4, because that is the capacity of my stand mixer. Makes enough dough for 4 pizzas :idunno

    Never had Pesto,, but willing to experiment making one. Now I have to add that to a shopping list. I, make Taco Pizza when we have a party get-together. This is my version. I know many Taco Pizzas, come with Shredded lettuce on top. I prefer to leave the grass off.
