I have a recipe for homemade vegetarian pizza on my blog: http://sorcha-sidhe.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/easy-and-very-tasty-homemade-vegetarian.html.

I've cooked just about everything else in there, why didn't I think of pizza!!<br /><br />Sue xx<br />Our New Life in the CountrySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-83582189420339320182012-07-02T19:50:25.870+01:002012-07-02T19:50:25.870+01:00I tend to buy those small ones and then add my own...I tend to buy those small ones and then add my own ingredients.

This is our second year since cutting down junk food to nearly zero. We have home made pizza, chips and garlic bread often on a Friday night. Last time I decided to make hamburgers and chips...oh they are so much tastier than takeaway. My 16yo son usually doesnt eat all his takeaway, but he eats ALL the homemade stuff!<br /><br />My pizza dough is 1 cup natural yogurt to 1 cup flour...simply beautiful dough!<br /><br />xTaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-18377890304378820622012-07-02T11:28:41.437+01:002012-07-02T11:28:41.437+01:00I like to make my own bases and freeze them as wel...I like to make my own bases and freeze them as well although I do the same as you with shop bought ones occasionally. Our other 'takeaway' is fish and chips which I keep in the freezer and the kids LOVE these nights as we make it fun and have picnics in the lounge room. Buying takeaway for a family is just way too expensive! <br /><br />xx Susandaydream in colourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292841288986490762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-40777388651026321322012-07-02T10:25:16.178+01:002012-07-02T10:25:16.178+01:00I love homemade everything so to have a "go t...I love homemade everything so to have a "go to" supply in the freezer I simply double up on recipes, freeze the extras in 1 portion sizes and if I need,fancy a lazy meal the microwave comes into its own. Some weekends we are all working to different timetables so we can eat what we want when we have time. Usually we eat as a family but even then we have the option to eat separately together.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.com
