PIzza.... from Jodi Wiles




I buy my pizza dough from Basha's. It is 1.99 a roll. I could make my own pizza dough, but this is way easier!!!



I add pizza sauce mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and any other family favorite.


I divide the dough in half so I can make different kinds.

I added tomatoes, fresh basil and mozzarella cheese on mine.




Finished product!!

uncooked flour tortillas by Jodi Wiles




My post is "mostly" about this wonderful item. I find it at costco. I have seen it at Bashas, but it does cost more.

I do not put oil in the pan. I heat both sides and serve.....

They make AWESOME burritos, enchiladas,tacos, and cheese crips.

On the dessert side I heat them, top them with butter,cinnamon, and sugar. I cut them the same way I do pizza.

Very yummy.....
