My life has fallen apart because of Trump/Musk taking my job and the American economy becoming a dumpster fire.

I have turned to frozen margarita pizzas as a source of nutrition. To spruce up my pies I chop up spinach, mix in a can of diced green chilies, and season with whatever I have on hand. If I have an extra bag of mozzarella I throw some of that in there too. I let it sit for five or so minutes then spread that on top of the pizza. I add five to ten extra minutes to the baking time.

Got any cheap and fast cooking tips along those lines?

yes.

ditch the frozen pizza and make your own dough. it tastes way better and is much cheaper.

6 cups of flour

3 cups of water

1-1/2 tablespoons of yeast

1 1/2 tablespoons spoons of salt

mix it all in a bowl, cover it and let it sit for about an hour. once it’s risen, put it in the fridge. it will be ready to use the next day, but it will keep for a few weeks.

i like to make pies with 450 grams of dough, it makes for a good 15” pizza. i use tomato sauce from fruit that we grow, but ive heard greet things about san marizano tomato sauce in a can.

i have lots more to say, but i don’t want to type it all out if you’re thinking ‘yeah, fuck that guy - i’m never gonna do that’, so if you want more info, lmk.

My oven can't keep a stable temperature or I would be making my own bread.

oh dang. that’s a bummer.

my wife’s family uses a blackstone griddle as a makeshift pizza oven to pretty great effect. it’s super fast too. like 4-6 minutes for a cooked pizza.

Bread machine, and if you can get a cheap pizza stone or large piece of metal you can help it out as that will act as a heat sink and help it maintain a temp
