Easy Zucchini Pizzas!

These are one of the tastiest things you can make with fresh zucchini! Plus in the summer aren't we always looking for more ways to cook with zucchini?

They come together quickly, they taste so similar to the real thing, and it's a great way to boost your veggie intake for the day.

You'll actually find these to be quite hearty and filling thanks to all that cheese, and they are a good option if you are trying to cut some carbs.

You can switch them up and try other toppings, make them spicy by finishing with a fair dose of red pepper flakes, and keep them simple by using shortcuts like a store-bought sauce.

Simply put these are such fun summery take on traditional pizza and I'm nearly certain you'll love them!

An Easy Pizza Bagels Recipe!

If you grew up in the 90s like I did you can likely relate to this recipe.

But the pizza bagel bites I remember were pretty bland and boring. Here we've upgraded them with bakery fresh bagels, some herbs, and garlic powder seasoning. And we use the best cooking method.

That is to toast them in the oven BEFORE you add the sauce so they don't get soggy. Then finish them under the broiler for a nice toasty flavor and quick finish.

Though these make a delicious after-school snack they aren't just for kids. Even adults love these!

And just like traditional pizza, there are so many ways to make homemade pizza bagels (see ideas below).

Save this recipe for a quick Monday meal or a simple lunch. It may just become a new back pocket recipe that will take you back to fun childhood memories (but they'll taste way better than you remember).

I know it's just a small change on the traditional pepperoni pizza but it makes a big difference to add that freshness to this classic. And the way it pairs with pepperoni is perfection. Oregano is often a key flavor in pizza so why not let it shine bright?

Here's another thing you may think I'm crazy for saying, I like turkey pepperoni just as much, if not more than, regular pepperoni (my husband even thinks the same thing).

It has all the same flavors just a lot less fat, so you don't end up with a pizza swimming in a layer of grease from an overdose of pepperoni fat.

Don't get this pizza wrong, it's definitely no low cal pizza, it's just tweaked to suit my personal taste. If you like regular pepperoni too much to ever even dare reach for something else, by all means go ahead and use that.

I'm not here to change your taste in food or tell you only my way is the right way, I just share my opinion (and I'm very opinionated when it comes to food, but aren't we all?). Turkey bacon on the other hand, don't go there.
