Homemade Pizza and California Citrus Salad

To make yummy pizza at home, start with a pizza crust from your favorite recipe (or a store bought crust). Our favorite pizzas are BBQ Chicken, Veggie, "Award Winning Pizza", or pepperoni. Tonight, we're having BBQ Chicken and Pepperoni/Cheese. The California Citrus salad recipe comes from a high school friend of mine, who came to dinner with her husband a few week's ago - so yummy!

Baker's BBQ Chicken Pizza
crust
bbq sauce
grilled, diced chicken
cooked, crumbled bacon
chopped greeen onions
shredded cheese (we prefer cheddar on this pizza)

Layer in the order listed above. Bake on a pizza stone at 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes. (If you are using a store-bought crust, obviously, follow their baking instructions.)
