Muffin Tin Pizzas and a Quick Vent

This is a cooking/crafts/sewing etc blog but I am going to take this opportunity to vent for a second.  The job market in my current location is horrible for military spouses.  I called the base and they had one job opening that was located at a base 45 minutes away...ummm no thanks! I have looked online, in newspapers, made phone calls and nada.  I am open to most jobs however I know I would not find joy in working at Lowes, McDonalds, Loves Travel Stop or a cell phone company. And I do not want to substitute teach.  The school year is over but I don't like being the random teacher in the classroom that students think they can take advantage of (though they soon realize that is not an option).  So I have come to the realization that for now I am a housewife.  I guess I better get going on more cooking and craft projects!

I made dinner for the first time in a week or so last night because I was home in Maryland.  When I asked Fly Boy what he wanted he said, "Buffalo chicken pizza!" Of course that is what he wanted but that is not what I wanted! So I decided to make "Muffin Tin Mini Pizzas".  They came out really well.  I made three different kinds so it was a nice variety.



Ingredients:

1 pizza dough (either store bought or homemade)
sauce
toppings
cheese


Cut the pizza dough into 12 small squares and place them into a greased muffin tin. Try to stretch the dough up the sides of the tin a little bit.  Pre bake the dough for 5-7 minutes at about 400 degrees.  Take the pan out of the oven and add your toppings. I layered mine: meat/veggies, sauce then cheese.  Bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.


I made buffalo chicken pizzas, broccoli and chicken and salsa and chicken.
