DIY "The Pink Stuff" Pizza ...and other things

So, for a while now, we've been getting together once a week and it never fails that on our girl's nights, we do a diy craft or recipe.  After a month (or year) of posting photos of our creations on Facebook, we felt it may be time to share them on a blog.  Soooo, starting NOW, we present to you DIY GIRL'S NIGHT IN!  (commence applause...yes, we're dorks)

Tonight, we had planned to make pizza and cheesecake.  Casey was to bring the fixings for the pizza, as she found an amazingly ...PINK... sauce to use.  We  could go on and on about how delicious and PINK the pizza was, but instead, we'll just give you pictures to drool over and then the recipe to OUR creation!

Okay, so as with any of our creations, we weren't completely prepared!  Ha.  However, we did have the toppings, and let's get real...you can make a dough out of anything.  SO, luck would have it, I had a can of crescent rolls.  Here's what ya need...

  • "The Pink Stuff" by Pizza Shoppe
  • Bacon (about 3 strips)
  • Chicken (3 small tenders)
  • A can of crescent rolls
  • Basil (about 6-10 leaves)
  • Baby Spinach (as much as desired, we used 2 good handfuls)
  • 1 Whole Tomato
  • A bag of KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 
  • A shake and a sprinkle of Shredded Parmesan Cheese 
And, here's what ya do...

Preheat oven to 350.

Open your can of crescent rolls and spread out the dough.  Spoon out and spread your "Pink Stuff" on the dough.  Fry your bacon until crisp, then set to the side on a napkin to degrease a bit.  Next, fry your chicken tenders in the bacon grease (look, we never said this was healthy!).  After your chicken is cooked through, shred it and place on top of the pizza sauce.  Next, pinch off your basil or grab it out of your store bought container, chop it up real fine.  Grab ya a big handful or two of baby spinach leaves and throw them in the skillet on med-low, along with your basil.  Once it is wilted, spread it evenly on your pizza dough.  At this point, your bacon should be cooled enough to crumble on top, as well.  Top it all with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses (I have a feeling goat cheese or feta would be yum-o, too).  Okay, slice up your tomato real pretty and throw it in the bacon grease!  Seriously.  Once the tomato has softened a bit, throw it up on top of the cheese.  Bake it in your oven at 350 for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese begins to bubble.

Now, commence drooling...

Here's the sauce

Okay, don't panic because it looks like pepto.  Here's the crescent rolls, smothered in "Pink Stuff", and topped with chicken

And, here's the finished ...oh my stinking yummy goodness... product

 

Yeah, we're pretty amazing... and so is the pizza.  It's pretty much the best either of us have EVER had.  And, that's saying a lot, because we really like to eat.  


Okay, off to make cheesecake.  If you're lucky, we might even blog about it.
