Mini Pizza Recipe {kid-friendly, dairy-free}

Pizza. Mmm.

I mean, who doesn’t love pizza? And if you tell me you know someone or you are that someone, I will give you the same reaction that I give when I hear that you don’t like chocolate. Because, huh??

I LOVE pizza. So when I went on a dairy-free diet because of my [breastfed] son’s milk protein intolerance, I was dying for a slice of cheesy goodness.

Instead of crying into my pillow at night (which may have happened on occasion…), I decided to just try making pizza without cheese to curb the craving. Of course, I worried about all the toppings falling off since they wouldn’t be melted together with cheese, so I wasn’t sure how to make it work. But when I came across this recipe for mini pizzas made on tortillas, I knew I had a better chance of my toppings staying put since we would be working with mini portions instead of big slices.

So I whipped some up for myself and some for the kids (with cheese), and they were a hit! Mine were delicious; the pepperoni and the fact that it was jam packed with veggies made my tastebuds almost forget that there was no cheese present (almost). These tortillas crisp up so perfectly and you really get a delicious faux deep-dish crust out of them.

Now, I’ve made pizza on whole tortillas before, but these mini ones were way better. I think you don’t deal with sogginess as much because of the smaller portion size, and the crispiness really makes the dish.

Did I mention the kids were over the moon for their kiddie-sized pizzas? They loved them. I even cut my pepperoni into little circles, which they thought was just adorable (ok, maybe I thought it was adorable and they were just glad to have pepperoni). You can buy mini pepperoni or you can be cheap like myself and use regular sized pepperoni cut into mini circles. I purchase my pepperoni at Sprouts; it is all natural and nitrate-free and comes in a bigger size (about 3 inch diameter), and it is DELISH. I put it on everything these days – sandwiches, pizza… ok, I guess that’s really all.

If you are dairy-free, need something to feed the kids, are in a rush to make dinner, or need something cheap, this meal fits all that criteria. Add a side salad and you’re good to go.

Dairy-Free Mini Deep Dish Pizza

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Dairy-Free Mini Deep Dish Pizza

Ingredients

  • Flour tortillas (one tortilla will get you about 4 mini crusts)
  • Pizza sauce
  • Pepperoni
  • Assorted vegetables (I used diced onion, mushrooms and green peppers)
  • Oregano

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
  2. Use an empty can or a bowl of a similar size to press down into tortillas and cut out circles. You may need to use a rocking motion or twist back and forth to get it all the way through. You should be able to get 4 circles out of a standard sized tortilla.
  3. Press tortilla circles down into muffin tins. Scoop about 1 tbsp pizza sauce into each tortilla and spread. Cover with pepperoni and assorted vegetables. Sprinkle with oregano.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tortilla edges begin to brown.
  5. Serve immediately.

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
