My mini Pizzas: as I was making them last night upon request of my 5 – year – old daughter who says my Pizza is better than the one from a Restaurant (which makes me so happy and is the biggest compliment) I thought that I have made the recipe so many times that I could make it in my sleep. I really really love these and so does my my family. If it’s not a fish Friday then Friday is Pizza night. The recipe is super easy and even if you aren’t an experienced cook I can guarantee it’s going to turn out delicious.

Enjoy!
