After a week of relatives (and eating/drinking), relatives (and bowling), relatives (and more drinking)…..why not continue the debauchery? I got back into Minneapolis on Sunday and headed over to a friends house for dinner.  Between three of us, we cleaned out a bottle of good tequila and made exquisite french bread pizzas.

Here are some of the ingredients and combos we used:

Fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella with prosciutto
Peppadew picante peppers (in the olive bar!), chicken and cheddar cheese with hot pepper flakes
Rosemary mushrooms with chicken and spinach

To throw a fun pizza making party, start with a few loaves of take and bake baguette, and back them about half the time it says on the package.  Then scoop out some of the bready inside to make room for toppings.  Have your favorite tomato sauce available as well as a few different cheeses (feta, mozzarella, cheddar), a meat or two (I usually choose chicken and one kind of ham or sausage like selection) and plenty of vegetables (spinach, olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, onions etc.)

So easy, so fun, so tasty.  And may I recommend you wash these down with a few glasses of tequila?
