Back to dessert pizza.  One of the best things about this is the shortbread cookie crumble on top of the pizza.  I asked my sweet Parker if he would help out and he was happy to lend a hand.

So this is a layer of cinnamon and sugar pizza, a cream cheese layer, a blueberry pie filling layer, then shortbread crumbles.

Not too shabby eh?
