Kielbasa pizza on a cauliflower crust ! How did you make the crust and how does it taste ??? I know your on a diet but it looks good ?
It is store bought frozen crust from Caulipower. The crust is very similar to a regular thin crust, a little different but not like a lot of the crusts. We just use Walmart Pizza Sauce as it is lower in sugar than most of the name brands, some frozen pepper/onion mix that we thaw, the Kielbasa or sometimes sweet Italian sausage, and some mozzarella. It only takes about five minutes to throw it together and twelve minutes in the oven. We like it a little crispy so we then give it two minutes under the broiler. So less than twenty minutes total.

Nice ! I will try this . Thank you Tom !
Does it take mushrooms as well ?
 
Turkey kielbasa is awesome
Never had them just pork. Is it true that the turkey kielbasa tastes just like gator? I read it on the interweb and it has to be true because I read a quote from our former president, Honest Abe Lincoln who said “ if it’s on the interweb it has to be true” and he has honest in his name. 😉
 
Try the Turkey kielbasa with sour kraut !
About the only thing that DOESN'T go well with sauerkraut is Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

On the Ohio State campus there were a lot of hot dog stands. In between classes I would treat myself to a couple dogs with sauerkraut and brown spicy mustard! Might have to make some kraut dogs with the left over sauerkraut after New Year’s.

Oh.... he went to The Ohio State University. It all makes sense now.

My wife doesn't care for mushrooms but yes, I've made them with sausage/mushroom/onion (my favorite), all veggie by adding black olives to the pepper/onion, pepperoni/pepper/onion, ham/pepper/onion and SPAM/pepper/onion/black olive. Just be careful if you use frozen veggies to pat them a little before adding them or you'll get a soggy crust.
 
I'm hoping to do this soon but with rabbits and quail. I'll also likely have at least one chicken - probably 3, most likely bantams.
I had a rabbit a while ago, Jason loved them and it wasn't a very nice experience. The rabbit was adorable and didn't bother anyone, but we don't have a very big yard and the smell of his poop and pee was too much.

Your asking the wrong person, ask Paul!

Stroh's was the standard around where I grew up. It was the cheap stuff but my father preferred PBR, I never cared for it myself.

Rabbits can be pretty impressive when they get really ticked off. I was pet sitting a smallish rabbit once and the Norwegian Elkhound I had at the time tried to get too friendly, the rabbit reared up, hissed and started snapping at the dog. The dog was gone almost immediately and I decided the rabbit was better off in its cage.
