EQ Personal Pizza


EQ Personal Pizzas

I just love creating my own personal pizza. The first time I tried this wonderful recipe was during a retreat with my Tau Beta Sigma (Epsilon Omega Chapter) sorority sisters in college. This was a wonderful time of bonding and cooking fun. This is a fun and FAST recipe and can be great fun for Family Fun Nights.
