Did you, or anyone you now, ever get weird cravings when you were pregnant?
I’ve always heard that some women get the weirdest cravings when they are pregnant but, so far, for both pregnancies I’ve had that hasn’t been true.
I mean, I’ve had cravings for pickles – just pickles – or chocolate, or ice cream but nothing weird like pizza covered in pickles or something.
Actually, wait. Yes, I now want pizza covered in pickles.
Um, nope. Just kidding.
But what I do want right now is this Chicken Alfredo Pizza again now that I’m looking at it.
It’s a good thing that I have another pizza dough in the freezer so I can make another one tonight.
Ever since I figured out how to make homemade pizza dough, I keep a batch in the freezer at all times for when the craving for pizza hits.
Which is more often than not lately.
I usually always have ingredients for just a regular pepperoni pizza in the fridge because the kids love to eat pepperoni out of the bag and mozzarella cheese is just a staple in the fridge.
But the other week I was craving chicken alfredo but in pizza form.
I love white pizzas – pizzas without red sauce for a base – but don’t get to indulge when the hubby is around because he just loves meat and more meat and garlic and red sauce.
However, when he’s not home or isn’t the one making dinner then I get to make whatever I want.
Homemade pizza is usually the only time I get to actually have a white pizza because when we go out I just let him order what he wants.
I get the beer (when I’m not pregnant) and that makes me happy enough to not fight over what kind of pizza we order.
Plus, pick your battles.
