Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Jalapeno Popper Pizza and a $1.00 off coupon from Mama Mary's

IT Guy is crazy about jalapeno poppers. Loves them. LOVES! So what better way to honor the popper AND IT Guy than to make a pizza with all the ingredients of a popper! Using a Thin & Crispy crust from Mama Mary's, this was easy to throw together and easy to bake. The only prebaking you need to do is the bacon but that's no big deal, right? Layer your ingredients and pop the whole thing in the oven for a few minutes and you've got dinner. Or appetizers if you want to go that route. Just a fun and different way to enjoy poppers AND pizza in one fell swoop!
