Back in 2005, I lucked out and won the Bays English Muffin Pizza Pronto Recipe Contest for a BBQ Ranch Chicken Pizza. I scored a nice little Gift Card to William Sonoma and was a very happy girl. Since then, I love to pick up a bag of their Whole Wheat Muffins at the grocery store and create all kinds of yummy little pizzas for dinner, I mean your options are endless. The kids love the size and love to top their own. It’s no surprise they prefer pepperoni and cheese, but today I’ve featured some of MY favorite ways to top my pizza, take a peek.
This is a must try. Creamy, sweet and delicious!
Fig, Brie and Basil Pizza
Thin slices of brie cheese
Tablespoons of Fig Preserves
Fresh basil leaves, chopped or left whole
I LOVED the fresh fig, prosciutto and gorgonzola pizza too. Not my husband or kid’s thing, but if you like all those flavors, it’s a real treat. Thank you for the person who told me about the fresh figs at my Costco, I picked some up. The caramelized onion and fennel pizza was my husband’s favorite along with the zucchini one. Hope you’ll all enjoy, they are so easy!

Here are my cutie pies just as we were heading to the first day of school. Everything turned out great. Phew, no problems buying his first lunch. I asked what he bought, “chicken tenders, tater tots and chocolate milk,” what more could a kid want!
