Peg's personal pizza

After a long day of doing my physical therapy, I cannot wait to nourish my hunger with some homemade pizza. In an age where everything can be delivered at a touch of a button, it’s nice to sometimes go back to the basics. Here you’ll find my twist on a personal pepperoni pizza you can make yourself and enjoy at home.

Pizza was something considered a special treat when I was growing up - something just for Friday nights and to be shared with soda and perhaps ice cream for dessert afterwards.

Now pizza can be made as healthy as possible, even into a vegetarian dish!  Using the ingredients below as a guide, and adjusting as you see fit, please enjoy this deliciously simple recipe!

As you will see, you can make and enjoy this pizza for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even cut up into a snack. Personalize it by flavoring it anyway you’d like. I add garlic to almost everything, and pizza is no exception!
