Meatball Pizza

My husband said I should blog about this recipe I whipped up tonight. He even took the pictures for me.
It's super quick and super easy.

I used one package of Pillsbury Crescent rolls. A little bit of pizza sauce, meatballs, black olives and mozzarella cheese.
Each little pizza uses 4 crescent rolls just pinch the perforations closed and roll up the edges a little to hold everything on the pizza. I like a lot of sauce and cheese but my hubby doesn't, he wanted more meatballs and olives.
Bake at 375 for about 13 minutes.

Fake Pizza

My Dad has become a very picky eater since he got sick. Finding something for him to eat is becoming a real challenge. This weekend was one of those weekends! He still loves pizza so I came up with this easy version.

One slice of bread toasted just until starting to dry.
pizza sauce
4 slices of pepperoni
shredded mozzarella cheese

Take the lightly toasted bread smooth on some pizza sauce, top with pepperoni and cheese. Then comes the hard part. Toast the whole thing in the toaster oven!
Voila! Fake Pizza!
