So, living at the National Training Center for the Army means that all but one weekend a month are working weekends. Seriously, we get our Soldier Man one weekend a month & the other 3 he is working. There are units that come through here every month & the soldiers stationed here train them, teach them, & rate them prior to their deployment overseas. So, we usually stick around home & don't drive the distance to town in an effort to see Daddy when he might shoot home for dinner or to read a book before bedtime. In choosing to do that, we have to have some sort of excitement or ritual to make our weekends fun for the kids & separate the weekends as something different from the weekdays so that everyday doesn't run together & become incredibly boring. So, in our house on Friday nights we have pizza night & movie night so that the crazies know it's the weekend & we are doing something above our regular weekly routine. Recently, Oma mentioned to us that she grilled a pizza & talked about how yummy it was -- I was eager to try it & am always looking for ways to keep the heat out of the kitchen! It worked. It was a success. It is our new Friday night thing before bath & movie. And the crazies make their pizzas on an individual size crust & have a blast doing it. The instructions are below!
I just use the store-bought pizza dough. We cut the dough into two sections of their liking & use the rest of the crust for us. Once cut, place on the grill & cook until it browns & rises.
Remove from grill & turn over to the cooked side.
Add some sauce -- K eats a bite & spreads a bite. D gets all the way to the edges.
Choose you fixins. You can tell we are a super fancy family --pepperoni, italian sausage, & cheese.
Add you toppings as you choose.
Get to the grill fast -- before K eats the toppings one by one.
Let the pizzas stay on the grill until the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.
And Presto! All done & dig in!
