When there is a large family to feed and you're having a special dinner guest, and you're on the GAPS diet, a dinner menu can be challenging.

The last time we had a priest for dinner along with another family, we served this pizza. We made three pizzas, a salad and served home brewed beer and kombucha. For dessert, our friend made a gluten free pineapple upside down cake. This we served with coffee. We had many compliments on the meal. It was early summer and it really hit the spot.

This pizza can also be served as a casual meal. This is our favorite companion meal to movie night. It is also a birthday favorite. It can stand on its own with no sides on movie night or for a birthday party. Paired with cake and ice-cream make it filling enough for a birthday dinner. Everyone is more interested in the movie to eat a lot of food so movie night is simple with this one easy dish.

It is not an especially economical meal for a large family so it really has become a special occasions meal for us. Enjoy!
