Cecilia's Stuffed Crust Mini Pizza

Here's an easy recipe for a mini stuffed-crust pizza.

You will need:

- 2 Flour Tortillas
- Tomato Sauce
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Tomatoes
- Any extra toppings you like

Instructions:

Make a quesadilla with the tortillas and cheese, using your favorite quesadilla recipe, but be sure to use both tortillas (DO NOT FOLD).

Next, spread the tomato sauce on the top tortilla. Place some tomatoes on top. Smother it in cheese, and sprinkle all of your favorite toppings. Next, with a parent's permission, put it in the toaster oven until the cheese is completely melted. Let cool for a minute or two, and enjoy!

Tip: If you like, you can just make an uncooked quesadilla and put it in the toaster for a little bit longer. You do not have to make stuffed crust.

Enjoy!

Livvy Picks the Scholastic Winner

Livvy, assisted by Natalie in the background, pulls numbered balls to pick the Scholastic Cookbook Contest Winner. The lottery selection was made while Liv and Belle were doing a booksigning and holiday cooking demo at the Signature Room at the top of the John Hancock Building.

The numbers were checked against the list of entries. Each entrant was assigned a number by the tabulating program as they logged in. The names were sent to Scholastic and the folks there will be getting in touch with the lucky people soon.

By the way, the folks at the Signature Room donated a meal with a view of the Magnificent Mile to the Grand Prize winner. So exciting!
