I’m so tired of talking about COVID-19 and I know you’re tired of hearing about it. While most of your are sheltering in place, trying to find things to entertain your kids (and yourself!) or just keeping your mind on the good that is coming (it will come!) we’ve been more busy than ever trying to find ways to keep not one, but two small businesses afloat. My parents taught me at a young age that being your own boss is the American dream. They were both intelligent, hard working, creative entrepreneurs who went head first into the unknown (great, now I’m singing Frozen 2 songs again) and for better or for worse I followed in their footsteps. But wow, this is hard. It’s not fun trying to make ends meet for your own family while you have other families who are depending on you for their next paycheck, next work day, maybe even their next meal.
I can’t control this situation. I have had to let go and Let God. If you don’t know that saying maybe you need to call me. This isn’t a woe is me post…keep reading…it gets better I promise!
What I can control is this…pizza. We can’t go out, and while we are treading water we can’t carry in. My parents also taught me that through entrepreneurship you take what everyone else thought was impossible and through some scrapes, maybe a few bruises, you make it possible. And I made my possible this week pizza, some of the yummiest, post apocalyptic (yes, I had to look up the spelling), never would have made it if I hadn’t been desperate to use what I have pizza.
So take your lemons and make lemonade. I’ll be over here munching on another one of these 🙂
Hawaiian Pan Pizza (Air Fryer)
Prep
Cook
Total
Yield 1 Pan Pizza
Apocalypse or not, this is some of the easiest best pizza you are ever going to try. John likes a thinner crust so we just did half the dough and watched the time a little more closely. It was still pizza perfection.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup Nonfat Greek strained yogurt plain
- 1 oz lean Diced Ham
- 1/4 cup diced pineapple
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp G Hughes Sweet & spicy sugar free BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup Tillamook Shredded Cheese, Sharp Cheddar (or similar)
- up to 2 slices of overcooked turkey bacon (you want it crisp!)
Instructions
- Mix flour and yogurt together with a fork until you form a ball
- Spray air fryer safe pan with non stick spray and dump the ball into it
- Using a little more flour on your hands pat into pan evenly and all the way to the edges
- Since we are adding two wet ingredients, bake just the dough on 380 for 5 minutes first
- Spread BBQ sauce evenly on crust
- Add remaining ingredients and return to air fryer and continue to bake on 380 for an additional 10 minutes
- Carefully remove from air fryer with tongs, a pot holder, something...this pan will be HOT
- Let cool for just a few minutes and then slide out of pan, slice with a pizza cutter and enjoy!

I hope you will find ways to find joy during this “season” in our lives. If you need help please reach out to someone, your mental and emotional health is just as important to me as your physical well being. Pizza doesn’t cure all but making fun food sure can help.
