Ohhhh the cheapest thing I did this week!
Friday, September 18, 2009

Oh I did the ultimate cheapskate move and I'm kind of embarassed - lol.  I have been unemployed here in the Great State of Michigan since June so not that embarassed!

I needed parmsaen cheese for a recipe but only a 1/4 of cup.  I was driving by a combination Taco Bell/Pizza Hut and quickly went into their empty drive thru.  I got up to the window and said that my husband and son had recently went through and didn't get their parmasean cheese packets for their breadsticks and that they called me and asked me to get it on the way home. 

The bad thing is, I don't have a husband or a son!  They were very gracious at Taco Bell/Pizza Hut and gave me six packages and I had my 1/4 of a cup of parmesan cheese.  I did base my whining husband part on my ex-husband.  I do go that Taco Bell a lot so I don't feel too bad!

On the upside, I made this delicious pizza

Today I made a delicious pizza pie.

1 roll of phyllo dough
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 sliced red onion
3 thinly sliced Roma tomatoes
Melted margarine
Parmesan cheese

Thaw the phyllo dough per package directions.

Layer one piece of the dough, brush on some butter and the parmesan cheese, repeat layers for 20 sheets. I buttered every other layer of the dough.

Sprinkle crust with mozzarella cheese and then a layer of the onion and then a layer of the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and the dough is golden brown on the edges.
