Tostada Pizza

This is a favorite from my house - I copied from California Pizza Kitchen.

Pizza Dough
1/4 -1/2 can of refried beans
cheddar or monterey jack or mexican blend cheese
lettuce chopped
tomato diced
2 -3 tbsp ranch dressing
shredded chicken (I just use canned chicken and shred it)
1/2 avocado (optional)
salsa or i like taco bell hot sauce

If you are doing home pizza dough or dough that is not already cooked. I put in the oven for like 5 minutes or so to cook before putting on the toppings. Then I spread refried beans on the bottom (I act like it is the pizza sauce). Then top with shredded chicken and cheese. Then stick it in the oven for the rest of the time. After it has been cooked (reached golden brown) then I topped with my lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and drizzle salsa (or I like to use taco bell hot sauce) and ranch on top. The pizza is kind-of dry so be pretty liberal on the ranch and salsa. Hope you enjoy!

EASY Thai Noodle Dish

Thai Chicken and Peas

a pound of chicken
package of sugar snap peas
1 cup Italian dressing
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp crunchy peanut butter (creamy works fine too....but crunchy adds some chunks)
1 tsp crushed red pepper
noodles of choice (8-10 oz)

Dice chicken and cook with a little bit of oil and 1/4 cup Italian dressing.
When chicken is looking pretty done, add the package of sugar snap peas and cook another 3 mins or so.
Meanwhile, combine the rest of the Italian dressing, honey, soy, pb and red pepper and whisk until is it saucy.
Once chicken is done, combine noodles sauce and chicken. Enjoy!
