Pizza

We have been trying to make homemade pizza for over a year now and finally we are beginning to really like it. My wonderful hubby bought me a large round pizza stone and a huge pizza peel for Christmas. I love it! He also bought me a huge dough mat for the counter and I was also thrilled to get it.


It seems that the key to making good pizza is heating the stone in the oven on 500 degrees for an hour. The peel helps be able to get the pizza onto the hot stone quickly and the stone doesn't lose heat. When the dough hits the stone it will start cooking immediately. I think next time I am going to try and cook the dough for a few minutes and then add the toppings. It is definitely a process and we are always learning on how to improve.





The pizza above has sausage, onions and bell peppers.


Our favorite is bbq chicken pizza using Sweet Baby Ray's Bbq sauce, purple onions, cliantro, chicken and mozzerella cheese.

My new kitchen gadget!

After I finally figured out how to work the cookie press it was so much fun and the cookies were so delicious!

The girls had lots of fun decorating them! I am trying really hard to make sure that we do these type of activities more often not just once a year. I struggle to do stuff like this because it takes lots of patience and usually a pretty big mess to clean up. Mattie Grace did help me clean the kitchen so that was nice.
