Fast Yummy Dinner

Tonight it the only night we have ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING NADA ZILCH to do or to be at. No football practice. No parent meetings for school. No parent meetings for sports. No playdates. NOTHING!! Oh how I miss these days and how I can't wait to get them back after football. Anywho, tonight for dinner I wanted to make something fun and yet still fast. I don't want to spend forever in the kitchen, I want to be with the family.

I found this great looking dip on pinterest, Pizza Dip, and decided it would be super easy to make individual portions. Here is how I did it:

In each of your ramekins, place a few spoonfuls of ricotta cheese.

Then spread a layer of pizza sauce. Homemade is always better :) but canned is quick.

Sprinkle on some italian blend shredded cheese.

Top with some turkey pepperoni's that have been diced up. You could use italian sausage as well. You could also top with some olives, yummo!!


I covered mine with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking them at 350. Then uncovered them until they were nice and bubbly. This was about 15 more minutes. So a total bake time of 30 minutes.

I stuck them on a plate (when they were cool enough) with some homemade naan or flatbread and that my friends was dinner.

Throw in a salad and we were all happy!

Kid approved!
This would be a good dip at parties because you really have to use a spoon to get some dip out and spread it on your dipping device. Which means no double dipping, yay!

Speaking of naan. If you haven't tried this Indian flatbread, you must.

It is super easy to make at home. It takes about 3 hours from start to finish, but majority of that time is letting it rise. It is not hard, I promise. Plus, it is fun to make it have all those yummy bubbles!! Here are a few recipes I like. Budget Bytes has a great recipe that uses greek yogurt, these little beauties are SUPER soft and so yummy! Today I used AllRecipes recipe. It doesn't use yogurt and these were still really good.

Happy Wednesday....I hear my patio chair calling :)
