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.

Loaded Baked Potato Pizza and a $1.00 off coupon from Mama Mary's!!!!

WAIT!!! I know what you're thinking. Baked potato and pizza?? Well...I'm here to tell you that this is incredible! It tastes just like a loaded baked potato. I used my favorite Mama Mary's thin crust pizza for this, but their thicker crust would be great, too. And so easy! Just think how happy the kids would be to see this waiting on the table after a long school day. It's nice to have new things to eat to kick off a new school year and this is perfect! Give this a try....I think your family will love this as much as mine did!
