    10 Pizza Inspired Recipes

    August 11, 2014 Filed Under: Appetizers, Soups and Stews

    10 Pizza Inspired Recipes - thatrecipe.comDon't get me wrong, I love pizza. You can mix it up in so many ways from varying the crust (thick, thin, gluten free, French bread, vegetables) to the sauce (tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, white sauce) and then there are the almost limitless toppings (only cheese, meat, vegetables, different cheeses, herbs, fruit, you name it!).

    But one cannot live by pizza alone. Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mixed it up with Gyoza once in awhile - Pizza Gyoza to be precise. Yeah, they went there in the new Nickelodeon series.

    Which got me thinking about how many different ways there are to use pizza as an inspiration for other dishes from dips to casseroles to desserts.

    So I took a quick browse through Pinterest and came up with 10 that I thought looked interesting.

    Okay, the last one isn't pizza flavored just pizza shaped. Sorry, even though you are my favorite turtle, Mikey, I am just not doing a pizza milkshake. Besides, J loves this recipe and it is quite tasty.

    And in case you are wondering about the Pizza Gyoza - they were awesome! For those that have seen the episode in which they are introduced we inadvertently played out the scene at the end in which Donnie finally convinces April to try one of his, then she devours them all in 5 seconds much to his chagrin but he just sits by in love struck silence. Except in my house, J reprimanded me with a "Hey, those are MINE!"

    Until next time, when I promise no more Ninja Turtle references, happy eating.
