Well, M and I are leaving town tomorrow for a crazy bout of travel. Therefore, we're emptying our larder. When we go away homemade pizza is a common last meal, as there are rarely leftovers for a small size pizza. This is the perfect size for two healthy eaters. I have to admit, I sometimes don't finish my half, but I'll try for the sake of an empty fridge. This particular pizza is very unusual, using BBQ sauce (we like Trader Joe's Kansas City Style - it does taste like the sauce from M's hometown!) as the sauce for the pizza. It makes it seem less pizza-y, but VERY tasty. Also this couldn't be easier. Perfect for a night of last minute "to-dos" before a big travel day. The salad is usually black beans (the rest of the can), tomatoes and avocado, but our avocado bit the dust before we got to it. Oh well. Luckily, we have plenty of clemintines that I'm concerned won't keep until we return.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Tomato, clementine
Time: 20 minutes, 12 of which is cooking
Make ahead: This is actually good cold, but I make it fresh since it's so fast.
Reaction
J: "Bon voyage!"
M: "Pizza and barbecue, together at last."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
