Pickles are a fun food. They make our lips pucker, are delicious served icy cold and can even be found on a stick!

It’s summer! Across the country, state and county fairs are offering loads of delicious processed foods on sticks. Foods that kids love (and I hate to admit, some of us adults too). Today as my boys and I strolled through the brightly colored booths at the Ventura County Fair, we inhaled the decadence of fried fair treats, creating memories of summer. These are the memories we will eventually go back to on cold November afternoons, encouraging us to take out a box of frozen corn dogs in order to recapture the experience. Hey, why not? Frozen corn dogs are easy, inexpensive, delicious, and some brands are even made with healthy turkey dogs, right? But it’s what lies within the box, underneath the list of thirty seven, no thirty eight ingredients that should snap us back from our sweet memories of summer and encourage us to look for food outside of the box.
This recipe was originally developed to make pre-baked pizza crusts for quick and easy pizzas, but dough can be made up to step 7, then topped with your favorite toppings and baked at 500 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until brown and bubbling for a fresh, hot pizza straight from the oven.
