Bubble Up Pizza [Pizza Substitute]

A little over a year ago this recipe was everywhere I looked on Pinterest and I couldn't resist trying it out.  At the time I was living with my [then] boyfriend and his 2 elementary age boys, one of whom was an extremely picky eater.  Lucky for me, the meal was a hit and they didn't know that I had used healthier ingredients.

About a month ago I joined a Beachbody challenge and armed with what I have learned there along with my extensive Weight Watchers knowledge, I made it for myself last night (planning to freeze some of the leftovers for a later time).


I make no claims for creating this, I honestly have no idea where the first one came from with all the sites I found that had it listed.  I also do not want anyone to think this is the healthiest version out there, (I know there are several clean eating versions where you basically make pizza sauce from scratch, etc.) but this is the version that works for me, and is fairly quick- you can obviously make changes or substitutions wherever you choose (a few ideas I've had will be listed with the recipe)

(I'm so sorry for some of the blurry pictures, when I was taking them with my phone last night they looked good.  After uploading them today, I am ashamed.  I'll have to snap better shots with my good camera next time I make this.)

Fry it up!








 Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes


Bubble Up Pizza

Makes approx. 4-6 servings

Ingredients
:
-1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
-1 jar (approx. 15 ounces) pizza sauce
-1 can reduced fat refrigerated biscuits (I like Grands Flaky Layers. Wheat would be the healthiest if you can find them!)*
-1-2 cup(s) shredded mozzarella cheese
-Your favorite pizza toppings such as turkey pepperoni, turkey bacon, onion, tomato, green pepper, jalapeno, mushrooms, etc.

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-Fry ground beef/ground turkey in large skillet
-Stir in favorite toppings and pizza sauce
-Cut biscuits into quarters and add to skillet, making sure to coat each piece thoroughly
-Optional: Mix in half of the cheese
-Pour mixture into casserole dish
-Place on middle rack in oven and cook for 20 minutes**
-Evenly distribute cheese and cook for another 5-10 minutes**

*Using only half the can will save calories/carbs.
**If you're partial to somewhat burnt/crunch cheese like me, you can put the cheese on right after pouring the mixture into the casserole dish and just cook straight for 25-30 minutes.

For another healthy suggestion, instead of going for seconds of this delicious beast, have a salad!

Full Page Recipe Templates [Free printables]

I've been on a mission for quite some time to find full binder size recipe card templates. It seems to me that a 3 ring binder recipe book is much more efficient than the old school 3x5's.  Don't get me wrong, I love those little things, but they get lost, dirty, wrinkled and torn and you have to write really small or use several cards for longer recipes. The internet is surprisingly lacking in full page recipe templates. I did find a couple really cute ones but they just didn't fit my vision/my style. And by my vision and style, I mean something with hot pink and very upbeat. So I took the task on my own, after several frustrating attempts at not having it print correctly, I changed the design a little and now lovers, I decided to share them with you. For FREE! Because everyone loves printables, especially the free ones. Here are a couple different variations. I figured each person might have a slightly different vision of what they want, or depending on the reci...

The Little Engine That Could

When I was a little girl I wasn't afraid of anything.  I would run down the sidewalk at full speed, literally fall flat on my face, get up and keep running.  I tackle some aspects of life that way still, but as I got older, so much of that bravery faded. I blame a lot of it on society though it's my fault as well.  As hormones began to rage, looking and acting a certain way became important, and dancing like nobody was looking was frowned upon.  I held my head high, but became a lot more scared to take those risks I had always been so keen to on.  I became clinically depressed.  I would lock myself off from the world at times and just sleep my life away.  I lost that spark in my eye, that "go get'em" attitude and why?  Just so I would fit the mold that I thought I was supposed to.  I was afraid of looking 'wrong', acting 'wrong', saying the 'wrong' thing and so I closed myself off in a little bubble- a safety zone if you will- and cauti...
