VEGETARIAN PIZZA....90 CENTS
Buying pizza is a budget rip off. You can make your's for
pennies on the dollar.
A pound of pizza dough will cost you 15-25 cents to make: a
pound of dough is 8 servings.
Each person needs 1 ounce of cheese and at least 4 ounces of
veggies. This is a good healthy entree .
We are using carmelized yellow onions, assorted colored
chopped bell peppers from freezer and frozen tomatoes, mine
and Ricky's pieces will have chopped black olives from
freezer and cooked mushrooms. We will use shredded
mozzeralla and parmesan cheeses.
Ours will cost under 40 cents for cheese, about 20 cents
for veggies, 10 cents for sauce 20 cents for dough [we are
having whole wheat], That is 90 cents for a large pizza. I
am a diabetic so I will have just one piece and have my
cheese share and veggies on it.
This is why tracking your serving sizes is so very
important. a pound of mozzeralla has 16 once servings.
always check package as servings can vary by manufacturer.
ANTIPASTA....38 CENTS
Canned artichoke hearts, organic baby carrots, marnitated
green beans, avocados, black olives, green olives and cream
cheese and pineapple stuffed english cucumber rings.
MUGS OF GARLIC/ TURKEY BROTH...5 CENTS

hot beverage, a twist of lemon or lime is nice. turkey broth
is free.
