Dinner...and dessert

One of my favorite places to eat is California Pizza Kitchen. Oddly enough, I only like ONE thing on the menu: the California Club Pizza. It's essentially a BLT on Pizza dough with avocado and it's delicious!! Unfortunately we only have the CPK-asap restaurant around here...which has a limited menu and does not include my favorite item. SOOO, I decided to kind of recreate it on my own tonight. 

I'm not one for creating tutorials since I'm not much of a cook, but I KNEW this one was going to be good, and I've been bored today, so here goes nothing:

 We always use Trader Joe's pizza dough, so I stretched it out like normal and topped with freshly diced tomatoes. 

 Then I sprinkled it with Mozzarella and crumbled bacon and put it in the oven for about 10 minutes. 

 While that was cooking, I chopped some lettuce and tossed it with homemade ranch dressing and sliced an avocado. 


I then sliced the pizza and topped it with the lettuce and avocado and enjoyed. And I mean really enjoyed. I make pizza quite a bit, but before tonight we had NEVER finished a whole pizza in one sitting. Tonight I had seconds and Ryan had THIRDS. No leftovers for us. 

I also made a pumpkin pie for us to enjoy later tonight (I told you I was bored today)...but I'm pretty sure I can guarantee there WILL be leftovers of this.
