Pizza & Wings

1 package chicken wings. Cut the wings apart into separate pices.

! bottle franks hot sauce

Toss wings into the hot sauce and marinate for 3-4 hours. Remove and place on baking sheet lined with foil. Bake at 500 degrees for 20-30 minutes, or until crispy. Remove to a bowl and toss in more hot sauce. Serve with blue chese dip.

Pizza Loaf

1 roll of pizza doug fom the refridgerated section
1 jar of pizza sauce
2 cloves garlic
1 minced shallot
1 cup diced green pepper
1/2 lb jimmy dean sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/2 package pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Roll out the dough to 10x15. Layer the pepperoni on 1/2 the dough, keeing about 1/2 inch edge clear. Mix 3/4 of the jar sauce with the garlic, shallot and peppers. Spread that on top of the pepperoni. Spread on the sausage and then cheese. Flip the cleared half of the dough over onto the ingredients. Seal the edges by rolling them over and pinching them together. Brush the top with oil and a little salt. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until the top is nice and browned. Cool for 5 minutes, slice and serve.

The wings were a hit. I got them half off and couldn't resist having wings and pizza like we were going out to a restaurant. I forgot to slipt them though and they didn't get as crispy as I would have liked.

The pizza loaf was real hit. I would have used green olives and onions, but Pete doesn't like those. It was good heated up directly on the pizza stone in the oven the next day. I think next time I'll split it in half and put ingredients in for Pete and then for me in the other one.
