We took the kids out to dinner on President’s Day. Â For fun.
I should have stayed home and made this pizza again.
I suppose our evening out was ill fated to begin with. Â We had to go dishwasher shopping.
With four kids in tow.
I know, I know. Â I really should know better.
It’s just that our dishwasher {and when I say “dishwasher” I’m not talking about me} has been acting funny lately  by turning completely off mid-cycle.  We have been able to resume wash by turning it back on but it has been annoying to say the least.
I can not live without my dishwasher. Â Without my dishwasher I become the dishwasher.
Do you even know how many dishes we go through in a day!?
It’s a lot.
So, needless to say, our evening did not go as our pie-in-the-sky dreams would have wished. Â We ended up not buying a new dishwasher and the restaurant we went to will probably add us the “don’t serve these people” wall in the back.
I guess it’s a good thing I like to cook stuff.
Stuff like this restaurant inspired dessert pizza.

Now that is really unusual!
YES! It was a recipe inspired from a local pizzeria where I grew up. They are known for their creative pizzas…all of which I am craving right now. Shoot.
I cannot get over how appetizing this looks
Aww, thanks Erin! I don’t think it can get much better than pizza for dessert!
Pizza always fixes everything … even how upset broken dishwashers can make you. Dessert pizzas though… they’re extra special
– - delicious recipe!!
For sure! Our dishwasher is suddenly working again which means I’ll be needing some more of this when it decides to finally break down for good!
This is so interesting. I have a spicy raspberry jelly that I love to pair with cream cheese so I’m sure I would love this too. Thanks for sharing!
Krista! That is bad bad bad. Ok, I really mean good good good. YUM!!! Seriously.
Oh Heather, you know me. Bad girl to the bone! Especially when it comes to food!
