Refrigerator Cleaning Pizza

Oh no, you don't clean the refrigerator with the pizza, you clean out your refrigerator by manufacture pizza.

Are you tired of throwing away food? If you're anything like me, you throw away 10% of your groceries before you even bring them in the house. My philosophy is, why bother to spend the time seasoning, preparation and cooking food only to throw it away after it took up space and coldness in my refrigerator. So I decided to save myself time and throw away a bag or two of groceries directly from the store. Why bother bringing them in the house (my hubby didn't find this custom to practical).

Breakfast Pizza

Since I could no longer throw the food away right off the bat, I found a better way to deal with the pesky little problem of left overs. Pizza. In our house, pizza is ordinarily served on a Friday night since Friday is a 'no cook' night. If you're truly good, you can elicit the help of your children and have them put in order the pizza, then it will truly be a 'no-cook' night.

The only must in creating refrigerator cleaning pizza is the dough must be whole grain. I prefer to make my own pizza dough (with the help of a bread machine). I use the method that came along with the bread maker. My only substitution is that I use organic whole grain flour purchased from my local condition store. I specifically use a whole wheat flour for pastry. It's ground finer and thus creates a pizza consistency where the children don't feel like they're gnawing on the under belly of the sofa or chips of wood from the wood pile.

Once the dough is ready and rolled out on the pizza cooking stone, it's time to raid the refrigerator. Depending on the number of population you have to feed and the varying tastebuds to satisfy, you might want to divide each pizza in accordance with the tastebuds. For instance: These are the tastebuds in my family:

The carnivore: If it doesn't have meat, it's not worth eating The Beige eater: I only want french fries and nuggets (if it's not beige in color, it must be bad) The carnivore once removed: It must have meat, but if there are veggies I'll taste it The herbivore: Meat - yuck. How can population eat that stuff

As you can see, it's very easy preparation a meal that everybody will truly love! Here's where creativity comes in. First, you must come to grips with the fact that each pizza (there's enough dough for two full pizzas) will be divided into two. everybody gets to choose what he/she wants to do with their part of the pizza.

Go to the refrigerator and find anything that wasn't eaten in the past 3 or 4 days. Let everybody know the options. The in-refrigerator options may be supplemented with quick easy toppings such as pepperoni, onions, extra cheese, olives, pepperoncini and/or jalapeno peppers. The toppings must be quick and easy because, after all this is a 'no cook' night.

Once everybody has decided on their options, the pizzas are settled in the oven and baked until done.

Here are some of our past pizza creations:
Barbecue chicken and corn pizza. Arugula, onion, broccoli, sun dried tomato pizza. Pepperoni, turkey bacon and turkey sausage pizza. Chilli pizza. There has even been pizza with pineapples and mandarin oranges.

The possibilities are endless. The only limitations are the contents of your refrigerator and the impel of your family's constitution.
