Recipe: Homemade Pizza- Dairy/Soy Free Pizza & Onion Pizza with American & Mozzarella Cheese

Once a week, we have homemade pizza for dinner. Everyone looks forward to it.

I have tried so many crust recipes and all of them were good but not worth repeating. I just kept searching for the best. I finally found one that fit the bill. It's Pioneer Woman's Pizza Crust. You can find the crust recipe here. Make sure you use extra virgin olive oil, I think it makes all the difference.

Mix the dough ingredients and form into a ball. Then lightly coat the ball of dough with olive oil and cover the bowl with a clean tea towel. Let it rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Prepare to pans (I usually use cookie sheets) by sprinkling them with cornmeal.

Split the dough in half and roll each half out on a floured surface and put it on the prepared pans.

Next, let it sit for 20-30 minutes before putting on the toppings. I find that this helps to make sure the crust is not soggy.

Right before baking, top the pizzas with your favorite toppings. For my family, I usually do the below:

DAIRY-FREE, SOY-FREE PIZZA

For my kids' pizza (who are allergic to all dairy and soy products), I spread half a can of Don Pepino's pizza sauce and then top with Daiya Mozzarella cheese (dairy-free and soy-free cheese).

Bake at 475F for 12-14 minutes.

ONION PIZZA WITH AMERICAN & MOZZARELLA CHEESE

For my husband and I, more often than not, I make onion pizza.

I dice one small onion and put it into the half full can of Don Peppino's pizza sauce and mix until the onion is evenly dispersed (you could do it in a bowl, but why dirty a dish? :)

Spread the onion/sauce mixture onto the crust.

Then I break up a few pieces of Cooper Sharp American cheese and place randomly over the sauce. Then, top that with mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 475F for 12-14 minutes.

Yum!

Free Crochet Pattern: Emerson Car Seat Cover or Baby Blanket

I love the concept of car seat covers/canopies. When you use a regular blanket instead, it is always falling off and you are constantly picking it up off the ground. A car seat cover covers and protects your baby for cold weather, rain, snow, bright sun, you name it and it hooks on the handle bar so it ALWAYS stays in place! I absolutely love it and if you have a baby in an infant seat, you NEED to make one of these to see how great it is. PLEASE REMEMBER, it is dangerous to have your baby covered up in their car seat for long periods of time. This cover is NOT meant for that. This cover is only meant to be used when you are walking from your house to your car, store to car, school to car, and the like...it is meant to protect your baby from rain, snow, strong wind as you are walking from the places mentioned above. It is not meant to be left on the car seat when you are driving, sitting somewhere, going to a long walk or stroller ride, or anywhere else for longer than a minut

Free Crochet Pattern: Valentine's Day Headbands

I made these adorable Valentine's headbands for my daughters. For three free crochet headband patterns and how I made them, see below! I saw the cutest heart headband floating around Pinterest and decided to make one for each of my daughters. The tutorial for the heart headband is here and the original heart pattern is here . But instead of using an elastic headband, I decided to use a crochet one. I made some of these last year for my girls to wear at Easter and they turned out well so I was excited to make more. Here are my hearts: For the red one, I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Scarlet with a K hook. For the darker pink, I used Red Heart Soft Baby Steps in Strawberry with an I hook. For the lighter pink, I used Vanna's Choice yarn in Pink with a G hook. All of the headbands begin the same way. If you are using 2 hair ties you have to join them together before you start joining the yarn onto the hair tie. If you are using one hair tie, you can beg

Free Crochet Pattern: The Greene Pom Pom Scarf

I have been working on fall/winter items for my kids lately. I came up with this scarf (there's a matching hat coming soon too!). I love the color block look. I showed my daughter yarn and asked her to pick out 2 colors and then I added the cream. I used Cascade Yarns Pacific here. I am loving this yarn lately. I have used it to make hats, blankets, amigurumi, you name it...it is quickly becoming one of my go to yarns. This scarf is super simple. I have written the pattern in 3 sizes but you can easily customize it to be any size you want. I use a pom-pom maker for my pom-poms but you can find a tutorial online if you don't have a pom-pom maker or if you want to make it without one. Materials needed: • U.S. I/9- 5.5 MM crochet hook • Cascade Yarns Pacific in 3 colors- used here: 37 Clover, 52 Geranium, 01 Cream (you can easily substitute any other yarn, your finished size may change though) • Tapestry needle for sewing in the ends • Clover pom-po
