almost free pizza and other quick meals

I really like the word FREE! Sometimes QFC sends me free coupons. I rarely use coupons. The ones I find are usually for some expensive seasoning packet thar I don't use anyway. Seasoning packets and other pre made foods will really jack up your food bill quickly. A new coating of bread crumbs and cheese is 4 dollars a pound. That is more than you paid for the chicken ot goes on. It's real easy to make your own. Bread crumbs are almost free too and they are several dollars a pound if you buy them in the store. Just save all the crusts and left over hamburger and hotdog buns. Put them single layered on the oven on a 1/4 sheet  pan to dry. When you have a few minutes while something is cooking, grate them on the largest side of the grater, or whirl them in the food processor.

There. Is a make a mix cookbook that is probably out of print by now. you could probably get it from a used book store. It is from Hb books. It has recipes for cocoa mix, baking mix, ranch dressing,and many more.

Ok,  almost free pizza..

every time you chop anything that would go on a pizza while making another meal, you chop a little extra. Save, a zip lock in the freezer door. Also. Save any left over meat that is appropriate in it's own bag. When you have enough, make pizza

 I used to use frozen bread dough for crust . I haven't priced it lately. Then you can make individual crusts  and bake off rolls with any leftover dough. Lately I have been getting the cheapest frozen pizza I can..usually for 2.50 and putting our own toppings and cheese on it.

 I used to have a quick pizza crust recipe, but loaned both the book I got it from and the recipe and don't know who to. The methodolgy was the key, so any good piza dough recipe should work. Place the warm water, yeast and a little sugar on a glass. You can assemble the flour, salt, while the "science experient. Works. It will look like root beer with a head on it. Put east mixture and the flour mixture into food processer and add the water your re Opel calls for through the tube and whirl until the dough forms a ball. Continue whirling for 12 go arounds. Take the dough out. Let it rest 3 min and flatten into crust.

Next time. Soups
