Meal Planning with Connie

Bar-B-Q Pizza We really like this pizza! (It's not M.C.'s favorite, but she will eat it.) We especially like it with pork bar-b-que. We picked up a half pound of meat from Butcher Block for the pizza. Our favorite sauce is K.C. Masterpiece's Hickory Brown Sugar. It has more of a sweet, than tangy, taste. Ways I saved money: I used store-brand cheese. I had a coupon for the pizza dough. I bought the bar-b-que sauce on sale.
