Mexican Pizza
Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell was my first introduction to this culinary combo. I wish I had known how to make it when I was a kid. It would have been good currency as the little sister to two older brothers. We just had french bread pizzas or pizza bagels.
The only thing is, I never liked how it was a double layer in the Taco Bell version. It made everything pretty mushy (refried beans included!) and if I remember correctly it all fell apart and tomatoes went all over the place. In this iteration, we get one layer of goodness. The only tomatoes are in the salsa layer at the bottom. Less mush! More crunch. Red peppers to add color and bonus health points.
I like to cut each pizza into quarters so I can fold each piece in half like I would a slice of pizza! It’s like an open-faced quesadilla and the novelty has not worn off to this day! If you’re looking for a simple/inexpensive dinner option, Mexican Pizza will definitely help you shake things up! If we don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt works great too!

Minestrone Soup
When I worked in an office, I brought a lot of Minestrone Soup to work. I made it so much that I got sick of it and then reserved my minestrone soup consuming to restaurants. All this to say, I haven’t had minestrone soup in a long time and I am now making it at home again. YAY.
I also gave myself a goal to make a soup on my Spring Bucket List so here it is!
It’s a good soup if you have carrots and celery in your fridge that need a purpose. It’s also great when it’s a chilly Spring day and you need to warm up! LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE VEGETABLES!
