BBQ Chicken Pizza

BBQ Chicken Pizza is my favorite! My failed search for a good one is what started my ventures into homemade pizza. Now we rarely have pizza that isn't homemade. I'd say we're pretty glad I couldn't find a satisfactory one!
I like to buy chunk pineapple and then use the food processor to shred it. I also try to precook the chicken, either earlier in the week or the day. It makes it really easy to put this pizza together. We use homemade dough but store bought is fine as well. We've found the key to a great pizza is to preheat the oven for a longer time than normal.

Apple Bacon Burgers

My husband took the initiative on this meal. We decided to incorporate bacon, apples and cheese into the hamburger. He figured out the proportions as he mixed it and formed the patties. The burgers turned out great! The smokiness of the bacon combined with the slight crispness of the apples played off each other well. We topped our burgers with cheese and bbq sauce.
