  1. Chef Buggsy asked me to review this, in light of my recent effort. I LOVE pizza -- good pizza, bad pizza, smush on a cardboard slab -- but over the past 6 months I have severely cut my use of salt -- and co-incidentally, not had any pizza ! LOVED all the ingredients here (and never looked at Nutritional Facts !) -- so made up a REALLY big casserole. At first bite, I knew this was saltier than I had expected (with sodium level at 123% daily value !) -- and took a step back. Amazing that my previously salt-freak taste buds had changed so much !! Should have known from use of sausage, sauce, olives, etc. DH said all the flavors were spot on, and this would be a great combo of pizza flavors ON OCCASION for a large group ! It was VERY easy to put together -- and I am truly sorry I couldn't just dig in and have really good wallow !! Thanks, Chef Buggsy mate, for such a great idea !
     
  2. Easy and comforting. Next time, I will try to add some bell peppers in the pizza.
     
  3. My family all loved this recipe. I used diced Italian tomatoes instead of sauce. I used black olives, onion, pepperoni (lots of pepperoni) and cheese as my "toppings". I did have troubles getting the biscuits fully cooked - I ended up flipping them to get the bottom done - I may not have flattened them enough. all in all, very good dish, will make again and again!
     
  4. This is truly a kid- and family-pleaser. Made as directed. Thanks, Chef Bugsy!Made for Aussie / New Zealand Recipe Swap.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am blessed with a wonderful dh and four fantastic, crazy children. I am a stay at home mom who works from son up till son down. My favorite cookbook is not one that I cook with very often, it actually sits on top of my pantry propped up in an old basket. The cookbook was given to my grandmother just prior to her marriage to my grandfather and it has the family prayer and some recipes that my great-grandmother penned in her own hand inside. It is called All About Home Baking. <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=daringdingos.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/daringdingos.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Erica.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/BottleBrush.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Darwinia.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/babygrey-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Correa.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picNW72Oj-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picCdyPjI-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbtGrUW-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pictSF7ey-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group10peppers.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group04cherry.jpg> <img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n191/bb_babe626/Recipes/makemyrecipebannnner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif">
