Hello to all of you lovely people! It’s Tuesday, and I hope you’re having a wonderful day so far. It’s 73 degrees outside, and sunny. It’s gorgeous weather. HOWEVER, I was outside talking to my mom on the phone for awhile, came inside and had a sneeze attack. Claritin is now becoming an everyday thing🙄 BUT… good time to write while that medicine just kicks right in!
When I think of pizza, I think of Friday. I think it may stem back to younger years, that carried on to now days. Growing up, I feel like Friday equalled PIZZA. Jake and I almost every Friday would either go out and dine at a pizza place, or have it delivered and watch a movie. It was the end of the week for both of us. Comfort food AND relaxation…need I say more? If I could recommend one pizza place, it’s Deweys. It’s amazing pizza and can’t wait to go there when this is all over! Look it up! Seriously, really good.
If you’re tired of frozen pizza like I am, read on.
As we all know, it’s not Friday. But, during these times, any day can be Friday. Any day could be Monday. Not for us all. Some of us still have a schedule. For those who don’t (or do, and want a really good dinner), I’m going to say you should make pizza tonight. If you’re wondering (you probably aren’t but it’s my time to brag) YES, the picture up above is an actual picture of the pizza we had on Saturday. It’s on the grill- you aren’t seeing things, promise.
On to the steps! It’s SO easy. It’s not only easy, there’s a ton of options for your pizza, and it is very friendly on the wallet. First you want to find Naan flatbread. I highly recommend getting garlic naan. The best I’ve had was at Trader Joe’s, but you can find it anywhere. We got ours this time at Hy-Vee. Once you have that, it’s time to make your masterpiece!
Pizza sauce. Buy it in a jar, or make your own. Whatever will be just fine. We chose to buy in a jar. Spread it on your flatbread. Grate your cheese. We used mozzarella. Go with whatever you want! Next, your toppings. We didn’t go to the store for any of ours, so we made do with what we had. We topped ours with mushrooms, spinach, and red onions. After that we just dashed some dried oregano and basil. Again, if you have some sausage, pepperoni, or any topping that you like on your pizza, THROW IT ON!
This is where the cooking decision comes in. Oven or grill? It’s up to you. I would 100 percent recommend the grill. You get a really great crispy crust, and that grill taste that you can’t replicate through the oven. With that said, oven cooking will absolutely be tasty, too. Literally, just do whatever is convenient!
This was a really short blog. I hope you read it as quickly as I did writting. Get out there and enjoy the sun, and hopefully make those pizzas!
I hope you are all healthy, safe, and if possible, HOME.
All the love,
Abby
