Here's a simple, quick, easy, and inexpensive dinner recipe for those nights you just don't feel like making something or spending the time making something to eat---English muffin pizzas.  English muffins are a staple in our house.  My husband loves to make a breakfast sandwich with them.

Why is this so easy and simple?  Well, I didn't have to really do any prep work for these pizzas--only had to slice the artichokes & sun-dried tomatoes.  At Publix, you can buy already chopped onions and bell peppers, a rotisserie chicken.  Gotta love a small prep meal!

These are the perfect portion for a meal (one muffin is filling), and great for when you and your significant other like different types of pizzas or just want different pizzas.  Your own personal pan pizzas; you can make any kind of pizza you like, savory or sweet.  The hubs wanted three, so split one, which I will say was a little too much food for me.  So like I said one whole muffin is perfect.

My husband loves the meaty pizzas, and I generally like the veggie pizzas or olive oil based pizzas or pesto based pizzas.  However, I have converted him to the Mellow Mushroom's The Ceasar pizza...it's one of my all time favorites!

Oh did I mention this is a great way to eat pizza on a "diet".  The English muffins we use are whole grain, only 120 calories, 23 grams of carbs, 2 grams of sugar.

I am providing you pictures of both of our pizzas--hubs has the pepperoni on it & mine is the "white" pizza.

The pizza I made was inspired by a pizza I had in Breckenridge, CO.  It was a olive oil based pizza with chicken, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, spinach, mozzarella & feta cheeses.  Chris' pizza was a marinara based pizza, with pepperoni, cheese, onion, and green bell peppers.

What are you favorite pizzas?

Chicken Artichoke Pizza: (this makes 3 small pizzas)
