| How to Make Breakfast Pizza Posted: 13 Apr 2019 05:00 PM PDT Leftover pizza for breakfast is fine, but freshly baked pizza with breakfast toppings is so much better. Roll out refrigerated pizza dough and top it with cheese sauce or olive oil with garlic. For a supreme breakfast pizza, cover the top with sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, vegetables, and cheese. If you'd like a lighter pizza, top the pizza with bacon, fresh mozzarella, and whole eggs. EditIngredients EditSausage and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza - 1 13.8-ounce (391 g) can of refrigerated classic pizza crust, at room temperature
- of breakfast sausage
- 1 cup (212 g) of cheese sauce
- 1 cup (130 g) of frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (75 g) of yellow onion, diced
- 1/4 cup (45 g) of green bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup (45 g) of red bell pepper, diced
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (113 g) of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (113 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese
Makes a pizza EditBacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza - 8 bacon slices, cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (15 g) of cornmeal
- 1 13.8-ounce (391 g) can of refrigerated classic pizza crust
- of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 8-ounce (226 g) ball of fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of crushed red pepper flakes
Makes a pizza EditSausage and Scrambled Egg Breakfast Pizza - Preheat the oven to and spray a pan with cooking spray. Get out a round pizza pan or a rectangular baking sheet. Spray the pan or sheet with nonstick cooking spray.[1]
- Spraying the pan will prevent the pizza from sticking to it.
- If you don't have cooking spray, drizzle a little olive oil over the pan. You can then brush the oil with a pastry brush for even coverage.
- Roll out the dough and place it on the pan. Open a 13.8-ounce (391 g) can of refrigerated classic pizza crust and use your hands to stretch it out to a circle. If you prefer, use a rolling pin to make the dough fit the round pizza pan.[2]
- If you're using a rectangular sheet, roll the dough to the circle and place it on the center of the sheet.
- Cook the sausage for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat. Put of ground breakfast sausage into a skillet and turn the burner to medium-high. Cook the sausage until it's completely browned and break up the meat with your spoon as you stir. Then transfer the sausage to a bowl.[3]
- If you can't find ground breakfast sausage, take breakfast sausage links and split open the casings. Then squeeze the sausage into a skillet.
- Sauté the onion and peppers for 3 to 5 minutes. Put 1 tablespoon (14 g) of unsalted butter into the skillet that you used to cook the sausage and turn the burner down to medium. Add 1/2 cup (75 g) of diced yellow onion, 1/4 cup (45 g) of diced green bell pepper, and 1/4 cup (45 g) of diced red bell pepper. Cook the vegetables until they soften just a little and then turn off the burner.
- Stir the vegetables occasionally to prevent them from sticking.[4]
- If the sausage released more than of grease that's still in the pan, you don't need to add butter to the skillet.
- Scramble the eggs until they're just set. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and keep the burner on medium. Pour 5 beaten eggs into the skillet and season them with salt and pepper according to your taste. Stir the eggs frequently and cook them until they're soft and barely set.[5]
- Don't cook the eggs until they're completely firm since they'll cook even more in the oven.
- Spread cheese sauce, sausage, vegetables, and eggs over the dough. Spoon about 1 cup (212 g) of cheese sauce over the pizza dough and scatter the browned sausage over it. Then top the pizza with the sautéed vegetables and scrambled eggs.
- Scatter the hash browns and cheese on top. Take 1 cup (130 g) of thawed hash brown potatoes and sprinkle them over the top of the pizza. Then spread 1 cup (113 g) of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup (113 g) of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- You can use your favorite type of shredded cheese. For example, use 2 cups (226 g) of shredded pepper jack cheese if you like a little spice.[6]
- Bake the pizza for 20 to 25 minutes. Put the assembled pizza into the preheated oven and bake it until the crust becomes golden brown. The cheese should also melt and bubble a little. Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes before you slice it and serve it.[7]
- Refrigerate leftover breakfast pizza in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
EditBacon and Egg Breakfast Pizza - Preheat the oven to and grease a pizza pan. Get out a round pizza pan or a rectangular baking sheet. Then spray the sheet with olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.[8]
- If you don't have spray, just drizzle the pan with a little olive oil and brush it evenly using a pastry brush.
- Chop the bacon and fry it for 3 to 4 minutes. Cut 8 slices of bacon into pieces and put them in a skillet. Turn the burner on to medium-high and cook the bacon until it turns a little golden. Stir the bacon occasionally to help it cook evenly.[9]
- The bacon won't become completely crispy because it will continue to cook in the oven.
- Put the bacon on a paper-towel lined plate. Turn off the burner and lay a paper towel on a plate. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to the paper towel so it drains a little.[10]
- For a leaner option, consider using Canadian bacon slices that you don't need to cook.
- To save time, use pre-cooked bacon crumbles that you can scatter over the pizza.
- Roll the pizza dough to fit your pizza pan. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons (15 g) of cornmeal on your work surface and open a 13.8-ounce (391 g) can of refrigerated pizza crust. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll the dough until it fits your round or rectangular pizza pan or baking sheet.
- The cornmeal will prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface.
- Place the dough on the pan along with olive oil and garlic. Transfer the rolled dough to your prepared pizza pan. Then drizzle or brush of olive oil over the dough and scatter 2 cloves of minced garlic on top.[11]
- Spread the mozzarella, bacon, and green onions over the pizza. Slice an 8-ounce (226 g) ball of fresh mozzarella into thick slices and lay them on the pizza. Then scatter the bacon and 3 sliced green onions over the pizza.[12]
- Try to leave 3 gaps that are around in size so you can add the eggs.
- Bake the pizza for 10 to 12 minutes. Put the pizza into the preheated oven and cook it until the crust begins to turn golden brown. Keep in mind that the middle of the pizza won't be finished baking.[13]
- Crack 3 eggs onto the pizza and bake the pizza for 8 to 10 more minutes. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and leave the oven turned on. Crack 3 eggs directly onto the pizza. Try not to break the yolks. Then put the pizza back in the oven and bake it until the whites are set.[14]
- The dough will finish baking and become crisp.
- If you prefer your egg yolks to be fully cooked, bake the pizza for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- Season the pizza with parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Turn off the oven and remove the pizza. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (7.5 g) of chopped fresh parsley leaves and 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) of crushed red pepper flakes. Then add salt and pepper according to your taste. Slice the pizza and serve it while it's hot.[15]
- Refrigerate leftover pizza in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.
- To make any breakfast pizza vegetarian, leave out the bacon or sausage.
- For quick, personal breakfast pizzas, spread the sauce and toppings on bagels instead of pizza dough.

| How to Be Efficient Posted: 13 Apr 2019 09:00 AM PDT Being efficient can be a struggle. Fatigue, anxiety, procrastination, and the barrage of daily distractions stifle productivity. Although the obstacles to greater efficiency are imposing, you can take some simple steps to improve your efficiency. Getting enough rest every night, dividing large projects into smaller and more manageable tasks, and setting time limits and deadlines for yourself are simple steps you can take to make yourself more efficient. EditChanging Habits - Get 7 – 9 hours of sleep every night to stay alert and relaxed. Inadequate sleep can lead to fatigue, which can sabotage your productivity. Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.[1]
- Teens should aim to get 8 – 10 hours of sleep a night.[2]
- To help yourself establish a healthy sleep routine, set an alarm to remind yourself to go to sleep at the same time every night.
- If you find that you are still fatigued after getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night, you may want to consider consulting a doctor, as daytime fatigue may be a symptom of sleep apnea or another underlying health condition.
- Eat healthy snacks throughout the day to provide your brain with fuel. If your body is hungry when you work, your productivity will suffer. Healthy snacks like almonds and chia seeds have fatty acids that will keep your mind alert and focused. Fruits and vegetables are also healthy options.[3]
- Avoid snacking on carbohydrates or junk food. These foods can drain you of energy.
- Save important and difficult tasks for times when you feel energized. If you feel most focused and energized in the morning, work on your most important or difficult task then. And, if you're a night owl, use your mornings to work on simple and unimportant tasks. Trying to complete important or difficult tasks when you feel fatigued will reduce your overall productivity.[4]
- Everybody works best at different times of the day, so experiment with your schedule to find out when you work most efficiently.
- Adopt a confident and relaxed posture to increase your confidence. The physical posture you assume can have a psychosomatic and neurological effect on you. Imitating a confident smile and posture, for example, can spur your brain to feel confident, which can lead to gains in productivity.[5]
- Forcing yourself to smile, for example, can lead to the release of endorphins, which will help you feel less stressed about a project.
- Try to say no at least once a week. If you're the type of person who is always saying yes to your coworkers, friends, and family members, you may find yourself in the position of having trouble finishing important tasks because you're always doing things for other people.[6]
- Saying no can be difficult, but committing yourself to turning down at least 1 request from a friend, coworker, or family member a week will free up additional time for you to finish an important project or progress toward one of your long-term goals.
- When deciding whether to say no to a request, ask yourself the following questions: Can the requester finish the task on their own? Is there anyone else available to help? What are the consequences if the task isn't completed?
EditOrganizing Your Day - Write down your short-term and long-term goals so you can prioritize. Rank your goals and tasks for the next decade, year, month, week, and day. Having this list nearby will allow you to stay focused on the most important tasks before you.[7]
- When setting goals, start by imagining where you want to be in 5, 10, or 20 years, and then create an outline of the shorter-term goals you'll need to accomplish to reach this goal.
- Be as precise as possible when you're setting your goals. If your goals are more concrete, it will be easier for you to think of the concrete steps you'll have to take to reach them.
- Keep these lists of goals somewhere visible while you work to keep yourself motivated.
- Create a daily to-do-list to organize your day. The best time to write up a to-do-list is right before you go to sleep. Write down all the tasks you need to complete the following day in order from most important to least important.[8]
- Break your day into hour-long time-slots and assign a task to a specific time slot.
- Set time limits for all your tasks. Setting a firm time limit for a task will force you to finish it in a certain amount of time. If you set aside a relatively short amount of time, you will force yourself to complete your work without procrastinating.[9]
- Setting a time limit that is too short can cause you to rush and produce lower quality work, so try to find the sweet spot between a deadline that is too short and one that is too long.
- Set a deadline by which you know you can finish the task, but only if your work is free of distractions.
- Take advantage of short 5-minute periods to complete small tasks. Set aside 2- to 5-minute periods throughout the day. During these short windows of time, commit yourself to completing one small task. This can be composing a short email, checking a voicemail, etc. Completing a task within a 5-minute window will give you a sense of accomplishment and motivate you to complete more tasks.[10]
- Try to set aside 1 of these short periods once every hour or so.
- Try to limit the amount of time you spend thinking about the task before doing it. Overthinking can lead to anxiety and procrastination.
- Break large tasks into smaller, more manageable parts. Large projects can be overwhelming. Worrying about completing them can cause intense anxiety, which can lead to procrastination. Treating large projects as a series of small tasks can ease some of this anxiety.[11]
- If you are writing a 10-page paper, for instance, approach it one paragraph at a time.
- Take a strategic break every hour to stay energized. Working nonstop without a break can leave you fatigued and steadily reduce your efficiency. Try to work hard and stay focused without distractions for 50 minutes and then take a 20-minute break.[12]
- Working without taking enough breaks over a long period of time can lead to burnout, which may lead to a deterioration of your efficiency over the long term.
EditGetting Things Done Faster - Avoid multitasking so you can focus your attention on a single task. In the modern world with cellphones, email, and the internet, it can be difficult to avoid multitasking. Focusing on more than one task at a time, however, can prevent you from getting into a flow.[13]
- If you're doing work on your computer, try installing an app or program that limits your access to websites that are not required for your work.
- When working on a project, silence your cellphone and keep it in another room, out of reach. Designate specific times to check for any messages and voicemails.
- Find shortcuts to complete tasks you do on a regular basis. If you regularly use certain computer programs to do work, for example, learn keyboard shortcuts for common actions. Or, if you frequently write emails to schedule meetings, make a template for that type of email so that you don't have to write them from scratch every time.[14]
- Ask colleagues and friends about any shortcuts they may use to speed up their work.
- Delegate tasks to classmates, friends, or employees. If you are working on a school or work project, make sure the workload is divided evenly among everyone who has a stake in the project's completion. Trying to do all the work yourself will stress you out and prolong the time it takes to finish the project.[15]
- When delegating, try to present your request as an appeal for help rather than an order to minimize friction.
- If you're not the one in charge of the group or team and believe the workload hasn't been distributed evenly, explain to the group leader or another member of the group that you could use some help completing the task(s) assigned to you.
- If you feel that the other members of the group or team aren't doing their part, avoid pointing blame and instead try to get them involved in the project by asking for help on specific tasks.
- Reduce the number of daily decisions you have to make. Making decisions takes energy. The more decisions you make, the more energy you expend. You can reduce the number of daily decisions you make and conserve your energy by eliminating or outsourcing decisions about simple daily tasks, such as what to wear or what to eat.[16]
- To simplify your daily decision about what to wear, simplify your wardrobe. Reduce your choice to two or three different outfits.
- Make a weekly breakfast, lunch, and dinner plan, so that you don't have to agonize about what to make on a daily basis.

| How to Travel to Europe Cheaply Posted: 13 Apr 2019 01:00 AM PDT Europe is filled with many countries and cultures that you can immerse yourself in while you're there. While it may seem like a daunting and expensive trip, a European vacation doesn't have to break the bank. By planning affordable travel and accommodations, you can easily manage your money while abroad. Once you're there, you'll be able to sight-see, try new foods, and meet new people on a budget! EditFinding Affordable Overseas Flights - Book your flight 3-6 weeks in advance of your trip. Flight prices tend to get more expensive closer to the date that you plan on leaving. Start looking for flights about 2 months before you depart to get the lowest prices for air travel. Continue checking prices for the next few weeks to see if the price changes.[1]
- Track flight prices on Google Flights to see when tickets are cheaper or more expensive. Turn on notifications for the days you plan on traveling to get alerts when prices change.
- Use a low-cost airline to save money. Before reserving seats on an airline you're familiar with, check smaller airlines for more competitive prices. Budget airlines like Primera Air, Wow Air, and Norwegian Air offer one-way flights across the Atlantic Ocean for as low as $99 USD.[2]
- Read the airline's terms and conditions before purchasing tickets since they may have hidden fees for items such as carry-on bags or checked luggage.
- In the United States, airline prices may be cheaper if you fly out of an international hub airport, such as O'Hare in Chicago, New York City, or Boston.
- Fly into a small city nearby if you want to travel to a popular location. Flying directly to the city you want to visit may be more expensive than a flight to somewhere nearby. Compare prices for taking a direct flight to the area you want to visit as opposed to a smaller city in a different country. That way, you can easily travel by train or smaller airlines for much cheaper.[3]
- For example, if you wanted to visit London, you may fly into Dublin instead for a cheaper flight and then travel to London from there.
EditStaying in Cheap Accomodations - Look for hostels if you're comfortable sharing a room. Hostels are residences where you can share a room with other people. Many hostels run at a fraction of the price of hotels so they're more affordable for you to stay in. Plan on spending between about $20-$40 USD per night if you end up staying in a hostel.[4]
- Depending on the hostel, a private room could be an option, but it may be more expensive than a shared space.
- Search for short-term home rentals to save money if you have a large group. Use a rental app, such as Airbnb or Homestay, to find private homes or apartments to rent for your stay. Many homes offer cheaper accommodations per person if you have a group of 4 or more. That way, you'll also have access to a kitchen, a private bathroom, and a comfortable place to relax when you're done traveling for the day.[5]
- Talk to your host about local restaurants to try or recommendations for what to do while you're visiting.
- Use a couch-surfing website to stay with locals in the area for free. Websites like CouchSurfing list homeowners that are willing to let travelers stay on a couch or in a spare bedroom for little or no cost. Reach out to the homeowner online and start talking about your trip to see if you could stay. When you arrive, make sure to be friendly and hold conversations with the owner so you can get to know what local life is like in the city.[6]
- Couchsurfing doesn't work well if you're traveling with a large group or if you want privacy.
- Try camping if you want to stay in an outdoor area. Even if you're visiting a larger city, you can find a campsite to stay at overnight. Many of the camping areas have bathrooms and cooking areas that you can use while you're there. Check online for campgrounds to see if there are any sites available near your planned destination.[7]
EditGetting around Europe - Get a rail pass to travel between locations in Europe easily. The train is one of the fastest ways to get from place to place in Europe. Look for an unlimited rail pass so you can travel by train as much as you want and arrive at destinations quickly. Many trains come with wi-fi, food and drink, and charging stations for electronics.[8]
- Major cities may have their own metro and subway systems that require a different ticket than the main European railways. You can usually buy 3-day or 7-day passes for local metros if you plan on staying in the city more than 1 night.
- Buy tourist passes for public transportation if they're available. Some cities offer packages just for tourists that give you free public transportation within city limits as well as admittance to many attractions there. Locate the tourist center in the city you're visiting if it has one, and see what's available for you.[9]
- For example, a pass in Berlin gets you free entry to over 60 attractions, sightseeing tours, and a card for unlimited travel.
- Try flying on budget airlines between major cities to travel quickly. Companies like EasyJet and RyanAir offer cheap continental flights between cities in Europe. After booking your main flight to Europe, look for other connecting flights to cities you want to visit. Many of the flights are around $20-30 USD, but may be more expensive depending on how far you fly.[10]
- Walk as much as you can to travel around a city for free. If you don't want to spend much money to get around, try walking around the city to immerse yourself in the culture even more. Explore the city you're visiting on foot to find places you might not have seen from a car. Take the time to stop and relax throughout the day in a park or public area.[11]
- Make sure to pack comfortable shoes so your feet don't hurt after a long day.
- Bring an empty water bottle with you to fill up in sinks or public fountains.
EditExperiencing Europe on a Budget - Pick a few must-see spots to plan a budget for them. If there are a few locations that you know you want to visit, make room in your budget to go. Choose 1-2 things you know you want to do and schedule them to make the most of your time. Look up admission prices online so you know how much to set aside during your visit.[12]
- Check websites like Groupon to see if there are any deals you can get on the attractions you want to see.
- Search for how far your accommodations are from your must-see places and include traveling there in your budget if needed.
- Take advantage of free walking tours to see the city you're visiting. Many cities have tours guides that will show you the main areas of the city. Follow the tour guide and listen to learn history and important information about your location. As you go on the tour, you can choose to leave at any time if you lose interest.[13]
- Many walking tour guides only get paid in tips, so make sure to give them some money if you enjoyed the tour.
- Get food from restaurants away from tourist sites to save money. Watch where locals are eating and go to those vendors or restaurants instead of touristy locations in the city. Travel a few blocks away from main tourist areas to find restaurants in your budget. Many times, you'll find food that's cheaper and more authentic to the region.[14]
- If your accommodations have a cooking area, buy groceries and cook for a meal or two each day to save more money.
- Visit street vendors to try new foods without spending money on a full meal.
- Avoid buying souvenirs if you don't need them. Souvenirs can get pricey and they can take up a lot of room in your luggage. If you see something you want, ask yourself if it's something that you need and can't purchase anywhere else. Instead of buying the souvenir, take pictures to capture experiences that you'll remember more than a keepsake.[15]
- If the souvenir is something that you must have, then purchase it. Just make sure it's easy to transport.
- Make sure your passport is current before you start planning your vacation since it could take up to 8 weeks for you to receive it.
- Check reviews for hostels and home locations online before booking them to make sure they are legitimate and trustworthy.
