Aka: The âYes I Used Jarred Mushrooms, Fight Meâ Edition

Ingredients:
1 cast iron skillet (because youâre not here to play) Cooking spray or oil (to keep your crust from throwing a tantrum) Jalapeños (fresh or pickled, whatever chaos youâre feelinâ) Pepperoni (or whatever meat makes you feel something) Jarred mushrooms (YES. I SAID JARRED. Cry about it.) 1â2 cups shredded mozzarella (enough to cover your regrets) Ÿ cup pizza sauce (or pasta sauce, who cares) Garlic powder, salt, Italian seasoning (aka the holy trinity of lazy flavor) 1 ball of store-bought pizza dough (thank you Publix, we stan)
Directions:
Preheat the hell outta that oven. 400°F. No negotiations. Pop your cast iron skillet in there while itâs heating so itâs hotter than your 2016 revenge glow-up. Prep that pan like a diva. Take it out carefully (because duh, itâs hotter than Satanâs armpit), spray it with cooking spray or rub it with oil like it owes you money. Build it backwards, like your last 3 relationships. First goes the toppings â toss in those jalapeños, pepperoni slices, and jarred mushrooms like youâre starting a rebellion against snobby foodies. Say cheese, bitch. Layer that mozzarella like youâre tucking it in for a nap. Be generous. Be bold. Be that person your lactose-intolerant friends secretly admire. Sauce it like you mean it. Spread the sauce right over the cheese â yes, weâre doing this wrong on purpose. Season it with garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning until it smells like your ex will regret ever leaving you. Now cover that mess up. Roll out your store-bought dough (ainât nobody kneading for 3 hours) and lay it over the top like a big warm blanket of IDGAF. Tuck in the edges like itâs bedtime and youâre the villain in a rom-com. Bake that bad bitch. Pop it back into the oven on the bottom rack (so the crust crisps up like your patience) for 20â25 minutes. Go sip wine or scream into a pillow â whatever soothes you. The Flip Heard âRound the Kitchen. When itâs golden, glorious, and your smoke alarm is not yelling at you, pull it out. Grab a wooden board, take a deep breath, and FLIP that skillet like the sassy kitchen goddess you are.
Serve With:
A triumphant smirk. A middle finger to culinary gatekeepers. A âyes itâs crispy and gooey at the same time, and no you canât have anyâ attitude.
This pizza is crispy, messy, sexy, and absolutely done with everyoneâs opinion. Like you. Like me. Like anyone whoâs ever said âyou canât use jarred mushrooms.â
And to drink???? Coming right upâŠ
đž âSpicy Little Bitchâ Margarita
Because youâre hot, salty, and people canât stop talking about you.
Ingredients:
2 oz tequila (pick your poison â silver, reposado, whateverâs in your freezer) 1 oz fresh lime juice (donât come at me with that bottled nonsense) Ÿ oz triple sec or Cointreau (you fancy-ish) œ oz agave or honey (because weâre sweet⊠sometimes) A couple slices of fresh jalapeño (because we bite) TajĂn or chili-salt rim (optional but STRONGLY encouraged) Ice (duh) A lime wedge (for garnish, if youâre pretending you care about presentation)
Directions:
Rim that glass, baby. Run a lime around the edge of your glass and dip it in TajĂn or salt like youâre dressing it for revenge. Muddle that jalapeño. Throw a couple slices into your shaker and smash âem like your dreams from 2014. Get the fire going. Shake it like youâre over it. Add tequila, lime juice, triple sec, agave, and a handful of ice to the shaker. Put on your âI donât have time for thisâ face and shake like youâre trying to exorcise bad vibes. Strain & pour. Strain into your rimmed glass over fresh ice. Watch that golden sassiness flow. Garnish if you wanna. Throw in a lime wedge or float a jalapeño on top if youâre feeling extra petty.
Optional:
Top with a splash of soda if you want to pretend youâre hydrating. Make it a pitcher if youâve had enough of humanity for the week and youâre not drinking alone â your pizza counts as company.
Mood Pairing:
Put on some music that says, âI could be nice, but Iâm choosing violence today.â Sip slow or chug fast â youâre in charge.
