A Back-to-School Dinner Go-To: Fresh Tomato Personal Pan Pizza

A Back-to-School Dinner Go-To: Fresh Tomato Personal Pan Pizza 

Pizza...it's a fan favorite & a classic go-to for so many. As back-to-school & busy pre-fall season is upon us all, eating our favorites while cooking at home & eating healthy is a struggle--not to mention, a constant life balance.

I love this idea for fresh personal pan pizza to make at home as you can make up to four pizzas {all the same or four different varieties} I do two per pizza pan as they're tiny.

The best part is that the garden tomatoes are still handy & fresh basil sprinkled on top makes this a great Indian-Summer dinner. I use no sauce instead I substitute with olive oil.

See the below for my garden fresh personal pan pizza recipe:
