Homemade Pizza

Matt and I have been looking for ways to cut costs.  We had been eating out once a week, but when money is tight, that is what always goes.  However, we both love pizza and that is usually our "out once a week."  There is no D'Giorno here, so we decided that instead we would make our own pizza.  The baker up the street has what I call "Dollar Dough."  You can get enough dough for a good size pizza for 400 colones which actually is about $0.80.  This is a lot easier and quicker than making dough.  My job was to work the dough and flatten it for the pizza.  Matt wanted to put the ingrediants on the pizza.  Matt did not take this task lightly.  Therefore, this pizza was more filling than most.  We decided this would be a new weekly tradition for us, at least as long as we live in Costa Rica.

What a good idea a good meal and family fun and you can make it really supreme pizza with all the special goodies you like. You will learn much from these months of needing to be frugal and I am sure when you get older you will look on these as the best days of your life. linda
