One of our new recipes is this large family pizza we have been enjoying.
We made 2, 16" pizza's and 1 gallon of lemonade for $10.42
We ended up only eating one pizza and half of the lemonade for the dinner...so we had it for lunch the next day,
It breaks down to $5.21 a meal!!
I don't know about you, but being able to feed my family of 6, pizza and lemonade for less than $6 is a huge win at our house.

Two tips!
1. Skip the pizza sauce and go for pasta sauce (or better yet, make your own!), it is cheaper and goes a lot farther. Just sprinkle in a little Italian seasoning.
2. Buy the larger block of Parmesan cheese and grate it yourself! Those blocks produce so much actual grated cheese, it is unreal! Plus it melts well, and tastes so much better than its partially dehydrated, powdery, shaker filled counter part.
The recipe breakdown is at the end of the video.
The total meal breakdown is as follows..
$4.78/ 1 pizza
$0.43/ 1/2 gallon of lemonade
Happy Baking!

Thanks for watching!
love it! I've been thinking about trying to get blocks of cheese and grating it myself. but i wondered if it would be better or worse. When it starts to cool down i may make some spaghetti sauce myself and see how it does. i have enough from the store to make if for a while. and here in the mountains it probably will not be long before we start cooling down.
ReplyDeleteWatching and reading some time ago, there is cellulose in grated cheese. What is that you might ask? Why sure! It's woodchips :)
ReplyDeleteThe husband was complaining about the pre grated cheese just yesterday. He goes on and on about the plastic in it. But, admittedly, I sometimes get lazy and get the pre grated stuff. THen he eventually complains and I go back to the block.lol
DeleteWe love making pizza for dinner! Or at least we used to, before Phillip went gluten-free. Gluten-free dough is a mess to work with, I have to make two crusts instead of one, and it's honestly not even that good. So the kids and I usually save pizza night for when he goes out of town for work.
