Welcome to my recipe blog. I created this blog to track my culinary journey and to help organize myself to get my weekly meal planning under control. But I also hope it can help you plan your weekly meals or get recipe ideas for new things to try for your family. I've set up recipes so you can find ideas by type of meal or ingredient, and there will also be categories for daily tips and weekly meal schedules. I would love your input, tips, recipes and meal suggestions. I was inspired to create this blog by seeing some other yummy blog examples, so if you have a similar blog of your own let me know and I'll add a link here.

Homemade Pizza.

It's a yummy dinner and a fun family activity - making your own pizza. You can pick whatever toppings you like, or experiment with new ones. This week the boys wanted traditional pizzas with sausage and pepperoni. I wanted something more eclectic so I tried to recreate one of my favorites - the Pear & Gorganzola from CPK. All the pizzas turned out yummy. Here are the pizzas we made. (And you can see my post of Homemade wheat pizza dough for the recipe)

The Ingredients:

Cooked italian sausage, pepperoni, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese.


Sliced pears, gorganzola cheese, baby greens, pear & gorganzola salad dressing, mozzarella cheese and caramelized shallots.


Putting them together.





For this one I put down a layer of mozzarella, then a layer of sliced pears and shallots and added a little gorganzola on top.



The final products:




After the pizza is cooked, toss the baby greens in the dressing and top the pizza with them. Then slice and serve.
