Pinay mom parenting her Caucasian/Filipino daughter in suburban America.
Take some Pillsbury Ready Pie Crust, a 5-year-old, whatever is available in the fridge and a Mom who does not care if the pie actually gets eaten and you have No-Rules Pizza!
I made these for me, the savory side with parmesan cheese, cottage cheese base, seasoned with paprika and garlic salt, topped with an egg sunny side up (I saw this done from some cooking show and had always wanted to try it). Then, a smaller strip, for the sweet side, I spread with peanut butter and pushed in some cocoa krispies.
Mary made her sweet side with peanut butter, cocoa krispies and crushed chocolate Mini-eggs. Then. I convinced her to have a savory side and she chose to top it with cheddar cheese and an egg.
Mary ate the yolk off her pizza as well as the mini-eggs. I had some of my savory side and a couple of bites of the sweet side. The rest went into the trash.
We did not discover the next best thing in pizza…
Oh well.
We had fun TOGETHER doing this so it was all worth it. Next time, we would experiment with other toppings.

You’re creating memories, that’s what matters right? But eggs on pizza??? YOu’re brave!

This spells fun! It’s the bonding that counts. I also went over your pancakes. I’m amazed with all those shapes.

My 2 kids loved making their own pizza also when they were in their teens. We had a small Filipino pizza parlor then so they were lucky to have an assortment of real pizza ingredients to the max to garnish mini pizza crusts. Pizza making boost our kids creativity and gives them a sense of accomplishment after their baked pizza is served and eaten by us, by their grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.
Thanks for dropping my.
