Pizza! It's one of those meals my husband could eat all the time... if I let him ;). This was a fun and different experience. My homemade pizzas in the past usually consisted of the Trader Joe's dough and then adding the goodies on top [which I am perfectly content with]. Well, I decided this time to make homemade dough as well. It was rather fun, and not as difficult as I was expecting. Both pizzas turned out really well. And Taylor and our guest ate a bunch, so that makes me happy. :)
This meal can be a little [or a lot] messy.... so have fun and don't stress over all that flour everywhere. And since it'll probably already going to be messy for you, I think this would be a great meal to make with kids too, fun for everyone! I think I may do that this summer with my little nanny kiddos! :)
I made one Vegetable Pizza and one Meat Lovers Pizza.
