Recipe: Mozzarella Tomato Pesto Pizza

Hello Dolls!

My absolutely favorite thing to have for dinner on a Sunday night is some delicious pizza. The problem is when you order from a pizza place, they use high calorie products that can add up and make your pizza more of a guilty meal instead of a savory treat.

I have been making pizza for my family since I was in middle school (even my dough and sauce was always from scratch!); however, being in college I don't have the time anymore to allow my dough to rise or to make my special sauce and it also makes way too much of a mess, so I have found a quicker solution.

With all of the ingredients purchased from Target, I was able to make a delicious pizza that the entire family enjoyed in under 30 minutes! (Best part about getting my ingredients from Target is that I can use my Cartwheel App and save big on my groceries!)
