omg heaven on a PLATE
This looks SO yummy!! I heart pesto. I just made pizza last night too! I made the dough w/wheat flour and actually used yeast. It was a first for me. Margherita w/tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and kalamata olives. Yay for pizza!
Oh that's great Jacala! Store bought pizza dough is a guilty pleasure of mine. Homemade pizza is always my "lazy" night of cooking, so if I started making my own dough that would just be too much work haha. I'd love to try your recipe sometime though, it sounds tasty!
I think that sounds so good. I will try it.
Ciao
