Anyway...pizza. What's not to love about it, right? Easy to make with basically any ingredient found in your fridge. Perfect for those leftovers you have lying around in the fridge. It's one of those "I still have leftovers from holidays that I need to eat up so I can start cooking fresh again" I use up the last bits of honey-baked ham. I had some shrimp in the freezer that I nearly forgot about and an avocado that's been begging to be eaten for the past week. Good thing I made a fresh bath of pizza dough a couple weeks before that's safely tucked away in the freezer, so it was an easy decision in terms of what I could make with them. Besides, who wouldn't love a delicious yummy pizza. This is almost like a Hawaiian-pizza with a little added pizzaz from the shrimp and avocado.
Happy eating!

Yes, what's not to love about pizza? Especially that it can be made healthy and nutritious by adding amazing ingredients like the ones in this recipe.
ReplyDeleteNever thought to put avocado on a pizza but does it ever sound so good! I love the idea of a Fridge Pizza: you can't get tired of it because it's always something different each time. 8-)
ReplyDeletegreat pizza all the best for the movie :-)
ReplyDeletegreat idea to add avocado to a pizza
ha! i call it 'everything must go in the fridge'! LOL
ReplyDeletelove avocado on my pizza.
The avocado takes away from the pizza. It makes it non appealing to eat. Remember we eat with our eyes first.
ReplyDeletenice! what a fun pizza. it's nice to be busy with such an exciting project, good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a name of a meal that says it all. Love that you can probably never get tired of it as you most likely will never make the same thing twice.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome pizza combo!
ReplyDeleteI love that you added avocado!
Happy Thursday. ;)
Yum! Rummage through the fridge sounds like a tasty idea :)
ReplyDeleteEvery one of my meals comes to fruition by rummaging through my perpetually empty fridge. But very few looks as good as your pizza does!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of avacado on pizza, but never would have thought of it on my own
ReplyDeleteA great addition to my collection. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try this especially for my family.
