Can you believe it’s 2012?? Because I definitely cannot. And to start off this fresh start, I completely failed on posting for the first time of the new year yesterday. But for good reason, I came down with a pretty nasty head cold. I’m not fulling recovered yet, but to make up for yesterday I want to share something extra delicious with you.

What are you favorite pizza toppings? Hawaiian pizza is one of my favorite types of pizza, yet I order/make it rarely for some strange reason.

This version uses a combination of sweet apricot preserves and spicy chili Sriracha as the sauce instead of the standard tomato base – it’s fantastic and may have just ruined any chance of ordering Hawaiian pizza out ever again because I have never seen this anywhere else!

Of course, pizza, or fruit of any kind, on a pizza is often a dividing factor in a room. But if that’s the case in your household then I guess that just means there’s more for the pro-fruited pizza eaters.

Pineapple on pizza was like the gateway fruit to pizza toppings for me. I have long since graduated beyond just pineapple but I do still enjoy it in the rotation! Along with the classics as well of course. I just have a wider range of what I will eat which believe me, is worlds away from mu childhood eating habits.
