  I have been a bit absent from my own blog the last week. I spent the weekend in New Mexico for a family reunion, and the few days before that getting things ready for the trip. When I got back on Sunday night, we were too tired to do anything, and after we unpacked the truck, we spent the evening lounging around. When I checked my reader on Monday morning, I was not very surprised to see that I had over 200 updates that I needed to read. Overwhelming!! Thank goodness my work is slow right now and I need something to pass the time while I am there – I made it through over 100 of them yesterday and have been trying to tackle the rest today.

  Also overwhelming is the amount of recipes I have saved since discovering food blogs. I have mentioned this before, but I have a lot of recipes to try!! I decided that I need to try to make one recipe a week from this list that I have been adding to daily. So this recipe is one of those saved recipes.

  I knew I wanted to make this the minute I read the recipe’s title. I remember it being a huge treat growing up if we got the frozen Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza. I have also seen Rachael Ray make quite a few versions of these pizzas on her show. So when I saw Amy’s recipe for Portabello & Sausage French Bread Pizza, I was sold.

  I followed Amy’s ingredients exactly, only changing up the preparation by one step. Instead of toasting the cut bread, I did mine Rachael Ray style – basically just pulling out all of the extra bread in the middle, making a sort of “bowl” for the filling. This worked perfectly, and I was able to have a good amount of filling for each serving.

  When I told my husband what I was making for dinner, he kind of acted like he wasn’t going to be eating that night. But after he tried it, he was sold as well!! They are a lot like the frozen version you can find, but a bit more sophisticated and a lot tastier!! It was so easy as well, and was ready and on the table in no time at all.

  So, head on over to Amy’s blog and check out the recipe. You won’t regret it!!

   I’m glad you liked it! I think it depends on the bread you choose, whether or not you need to hollow it out.
