Remember how we made six personal pizzas yesterday and froze them all for later?

 

Later is now.

Dad and I saw a movie (Source Code, which was good… but odd), and when we came home, I just unwrapped three pizzas, added cheese to two, and tossed them in the oven at 350 degrees.

15 minutes later, dinner was served.

 

The pizza was great.   The pizza crust was a little crunchy, but so good.  I

With a spinach, carrot, and onion salad.

Some dark chocolate for dessert:

So – there you have it!  The frozen pizza worked.  I will definitely be making more very soon.  So much cheaper than buying them pre-made.

 

For some reason, I’m currently enthralled by the Masters.  We’re a few hours behind, and it’s gripppppping (not being sarcastic).  Can Tiger make a comeback?

    Oh yum, that pizza looks awesome!! SO fluffy..nothing like usual frozen pizzas that’s for sure.

  • Kelly April 10, 2011, 8:51 pm

    Lol I was totally into the Masters today too, I have no idea what was up as I just commented yesterday how boring golf is on your post!

  • Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles April 10, 2011, 8:55 pm

    LOVED The Masters today – such an exciting final round! I basically grew up on the golf course, so I always look forward to this tournament every year. Have a great night! 🙂

  • Stacy @ Every Little Thing April 10, 2011, 8:56 pm

    We may have to do that with pizzas. We love making them but I’ve never thought to freeze them. It’s a good idea for a quick dinner!

  • Victoria (District Chocoholic) April 10, 2011, 8:57 pm

    Dessert choice = perfect.

  • Imwaytoobusy April 10, 2011, 8:59 pm

    I love the frozen mini-pizza idea! So efficient 🙂

  • Sarah @ The Pajama Chef April 10, 2011, 8:59 pm

    glad they turned out well!

  • Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food April 10, 2011, 9:01 pm

    ohh the pizzas look like they turned out wonderfully!

    I have to say I don’t think I can get into golf – but I can see it being more fun when you are married to a great golfer! 🙂

  • DadHTP April 10, 2011, 9:01 pm

    This is twice dessert has been served after I leave. i do not like this.

    • Baking 'n' Books April 10, 2011, 11:11 pm

      LOL. Caitlin – what are you doing to your Dad?! 🙂

    • Caitlin April 11, 2011, 9:04 am

      You don’t like chocolate!

      • DadHTP April 11, 2011, 11:49 am

        I do not CRAVE chocolate.
        I like chocolate.

  • Joyce @ Flowing to Fifty April 10, 2011, 9:03 pm

    YUM! Pizza is my go-to comfort food – and it can be pretty healthy too. This looks good. Especially followed with a chocolate chaser!

  • Abby April 10, 2011, 9:06 pm

    I have to steal your pizza idea! 🙂 So smart!

  • Holly @ The Runny Egg April 10, 2011, 9:06 pm

    I’m glad the pizzas worked! What a nice idea for those busy nights.

  • Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope April 10, 2011, 9:11 pm

    So glad the pizza turned out! What a great idea for dinner in a pinch, or just a fun meal in general!

  • Emma (Namaste Everyday) April 10, 2011, 9:17 pm

    homemade pizza and the masters, sounds like an afternoon with my Dad, too! This is making me homesick 🙂

  • Errign April 10, 2011, 9:17 pm

    Glad to see the pizzas worked out. I’ve never frozen whole made pizzas like that, only dough!

  • Karolina April 10, 2011, 9:19 pm

    Golf is one sport that I just absolutely cannot force myself to watch. I’m bored by it… The pizzas look delicious, and I’m glad they turned out well!

    • Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday April 10, 2011, 10:01 pm

      Agreed. Even watching it live is not all that exciting. I’ve been to the Buick Open and the Du Maurier Classic and it was just OK. Maybe because spectators have to be quiet and can’t get as riled up about it?

    • Vikki April 11, 2011, 9:25 am

      The announcers’ whispering voices work a little like hypnosis to me. For some reason, I relax when watching golf more than at other times. Of course, I grew up watching golf tournaments so maybe it is just a childhood memory or something.

  • Christine April 10, 2011, 9:24 pm

    Oooooooh- who will win that super sexy green jacket? 😉

  • Ashley @ Feeding Ashley April 10, 2011, 9:26 pm

    Glad the pizza turned out great! I saw source code last week, it is a bit odd. It kind of reminded of Inception a tiny bit for some reason.

  • Brittany April 10, 2011, 9:28 pm

    My roommates always think its SOOO weird when I put corn on my pizza but I loveeee it. My current favorite pizza creation is Trader Joe’s $0.99 herb crust with a balsamic/olive oil/italian dressing mix sauce, corn, broccoli, and mozzarella. So delicious.

  • Amy April 10, 2011, 9:37 pm

    Yum!!! Did you bake the crust before adding toppings and freezing or no?

    • Caitlin April 11, 2011, 9:03 am

      No baked the whole thing together for 15 minutes, froze, and then reheated.

      • Amy April 11, 2011, 9:13 am

        Thanks! This seems like such an obvious $-and-time-saver – why are we not all doing this?? Will definitely try it out.

  • Allison @ Happy Tales April 10, 2011, 9:50 pm

    Ohhh I am soo intrigued by that movie! Do you recommend it? Ha, Ryan was glued to the Masters today, too!

  • Clare @ Fitting It All In April 10, 2011, 10:39 pm

    Glad to see it worked!

  • Kiran April 10, 2011, 11:06 pm

    I love easy-peasy yummy dinner like these after a long fun day out 🙂

  • Kate (What Kate is Cooking) April 10, 2011, 11:36 pm

    I love having ready made food in the freezer! I actually have a socca pizza crust waiting for me in the fridge 🙂

  • Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife April 10, 2011, 11:44 pm

    I love having leftovers from the freezer–so awesome! add a salad and dinner is served 🙂

  • JenATX April 10, 2011, 11:47 pm

    i made pizza tonight too! i’m going to have the leftovers for dinner tomorrow, but there is still another half pizza left so perhaps I shall freeze it

  • Rachel @ Healthy Teacher April 11, 2011, 12:33 am

    That pizza looks great and is a great idea. Unfortunately, my husband says for him, it’s all about quantity. Thus, we would eat about 15 of those. haha jk. 13.

    • Caitlin April 11, 2011, 9:02 am

      hahah

  • Jen April 11, 2011, 12:38 am

    Such a brill idea. I’m going to have to remember this! It would be great when I come home from class, STARVING, and want something quick.

    And I like crunchy crust, so that’s a plus in my book.

  • Ellie@fitforthesoul April 11, 2011, 1:07 am

    Leftovers are awesome!! I don’t get it when people don’t like food after it’s been cooked and eaten once. hehe this looks yummy!

  • khushboo April 11, 2011, 3:04 am

    Leftovers are bettter than the original fo sho! It gives the flavors enough to get acquainted with each other 😀

  • Hats @ See How She Runs April 11, 2011, 5:15 am

    I love sci-fi so I’m quite eager to see Source Code. I also have a bit of a thing for Vera Farmiga – loved her in The Departed!

  • Chad April 11, 2011, 6:32 am

    Hmm you say the crust was a little crunchy? I wonder if commercial frozen pizzas have crusts that remain soft due to certain dough conditioners… or perhaps it could be he flash freezing method that preserves it??? I wonder.

    • Caitlin April 11, 2011, 9:01 am

      Maybe more oil? I’m going to try that next time.

  • Kris April 11, 2011, 6:52 am

    We look forward to the Masters every year. But then we love going to golf tournaments (great way to get in some walking!) and watch it on tv every weekend. And it’s right outside my sliders/windows every day since we live on the ninth tee of a beautiful river course. I read Sports Illustrated to learn about the different players, and find an underdog to follow. I also love me some books about golf (John Feinstein has written some good ones). Don’t forget that you can make pizza dough and freeze what you don’t use, in case you don’t want to put together the whole pizza.

  • Sarah (Running To Slow Things Down) April 11, 2011, 7:35 am

    It’s so nice having frozen pizza for the ready. Perfect, quick and easy dinner solution! 😀

  • Sarena (The Non Dairy Queen) April 11, 2011, 7:37 am

    I love making pizzas and burgers for the freezer, but I never let them stay for much later…I start craving them knowing they are there! The pizza looks perfect.

  • Jumanah @ Healthy Living in the Middle East April 11, 2011, 7:39 am

    I have made pizza dough and put in the freezer but never pizza! Such a genious idea to make personal pizza’s and freeze! Why have I never done this before?

  • Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin April 11, 2011, 8:28 am

    I love homemade pizza! Golf? Not so much. It puts me right to sleep. 😛

  • Orla April 11, 2011, 8:43 am

    I watch the Masters every year but would not go to the end of my garden to watch golf on a normal day! We had a vested interest here in Ireland with McIlroy! It was devastating to watch it all fall away from him but he is still only 21 and will definitely be back to win the green jacket!

    • Caitlin April 11, 2011, 9:00 am

      Oh man it was terrible. He totally lost it.

      • Orla April 11, 2011, 9:37 am

        It all happened so fast too. But he said himself that he tends to forget that he is just 21 and that he will come back from it. But it was hard!

  • Elise April 11, 2011, 9:58 am

    Such a great idea to make individual pizzas and freeze em. i LOVE it.

  • Miranda @ working mom works out April 11, 2011, 10:10 am

    Thanks Caitlin! I am all about this!

  • Amber K April 11, 2011, 11:59 am

    Did someone mention golf? ZZZZZZZZZ 😉

  • Kristin @ FoodFash April 11, 2011, 12:21 pm

    I would never in a million years think to make “French tortilla”! Looks A-Mazing!
