Spinach, Chicken, Bacon Pizza...Back To School Shopping

 "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"...I love it when I hear the Staples t.v. commercial with Andy Williams singing this tune in the background.  Yes, it has arrived once again!!

A beautiful sign nearing end of summer in our backyard.
Well, once again, I walked our 17 mile adventure at Flatiron Crossing Mall with my girls for our annual back-to-school adventure.  All the major places of interest were hit...Hollister, American Eagle, H&M, Forever 21, Kohl's, Sports Authority, BC Surf and Sport and of course Office Depot (well the last one wasn't very popular, but necessary).


All in all, a very successful day and happy to report we got it all wrapped up in one day.

The fruits of our labor and the "fruit of the vine" for mommy!!
After a very long and traffic packed day I needed simple, easy and satisfying dinner.  It was not South Beach friendly but I didn't care I had definitely walked off the calories this day and deserved a little indulgence.


Spinach, Chicken and Bacon Pizza

Boboli Ready Made 12" Pizza Thin Crust
10 oz. container Buitoni Alfredo Sauce (in refrigerator deli section) - I only use about 1/2 of the container.
(1) cooked chicken breast, diced
(5) slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 small jar, marinated artichoke hearts, sliced
(1) handful fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon Italian blend seasoning mix

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Put pizza crust on a pizza stone (or cookie sheet).  Spread alfredo sauce all over pizza crust.  Layer pizza toppings starting with spinach, chicken, bacon, artichoke hearts and top with Parmesan cheese.  Finish with sprinkling Italian seasoning all over pizza.

Bake approximately 12 minutes (check after 10 minutes, depending on your oven).  Continue baking until crust is golden brown and cheese has melted and bubbly.  Let set about 5 minutes before cutting.

Enjoy this luscious pizza with a
 chilled Chateau St. Michelle Chardonnay.
