leftover haystack pizza

haystack pizza not shown, above tonight's garden delight

if you know us, you know that we make pizza at least once a week. and it has almost been 8 years in just a few weeks. i use to bring home dough from great harvest after my baking shifts, asiago sourdough was our favorite. now we use this recipe from becca and her mom. we never get tired of it because our pizza is never the same.

so about this haystack pizza. sunday night we had haystacks for dinner, shredded chicken in a crockpot with cream of chicken soup and lots of toppings to stack on your chicken and rice: bell peppers, green onions, mandarin oranges, ham, pine nuts, shredded cheese, broccoli, etc... so monday night we had two choices. 1) eat haystacks again because there was plenty leftover or 2) make pizza, slather on some pesto made from our garden basil and the rest of these lovely leftover toppings. we went for choice number 2 and it was the best! the pesto tasted so delicious with the chicken, peppers, green onions, mandarin oranges etc...

i shared this discovery, one meal turning into a new meal, the next day with my sister-in-law and she said she was going to call it, leftover haystack pizza. i thought i should post it, it's likely i'll forget. do you have any meals that could turn into a delicious pizza on day number 2? if so, please share.

this all happened last week, but once again pizza was on the menu tonight,garden pizza(we didn't have haystacks yesterday). pesto was the base because it is our summer favorite, and the toppings were all from the garden: tomatoes, zucchini, squash, broccoli, spinach, peppers, and basil (plus pine nuts and cheese)

and as uncle nathan would say, "delish nutrish!"
