Now if you really want to make it easy on yourself, tear or chop up some lettuce and add leftovers from the frig. This could be ham, chicken, tuna, carrots, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, green onions, grated cheese, chopped bacon, mushrooms, you name it. That could be your main course with your choice of dressing. Now you have dessert and your main course ready to serve. Just pop it into the frig until you get home.
Be stress free and enjoy!

I just finished making the crust for a cookie pizza. I took a package of sugar cookie mix from the cupboard, mixed as directed and spread it on an ungreased round pizza pan and baked according to directions. It is cooling now and later I will put the topping on it.
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
Mix together first 3 ingredients and spread on cooled crust. Sprnkle peanuts over top. Take chocolate ice cream or carmel topping and drizzle across the top. Makes a great snack or dessert for family or company. Refrigerate leftovers.
If you are going to eat this right away, slice some granny apples, dip in lemon juice and scatter across the top of pizza before adding the topping. I prefer not to unless I know it is going to be used right away because the apples might not look so great after a while even if you dipped them.
