cabin fever is here. perhaps i should be making a lot of pizzas but for some reason i haven't been. not to say that i've been slacking. just a little unmotivated and updating this blog.
i made a pizza with my nephews while visiting in germany. they helped me make the sauce and dough, and put the cheese on top. what helpful little guys they were. my brother said it was the best pizza they've had since they've moved over there. since my supplies of topping were limited, and the kids (and even my brother) are a tad on the picky side, i just made a couple of pizzas; one with half pepperoni and half cheese. and the second with mushroom, olives, and red peppers. yes, repeats, but i'm counting it as a week because we were over seas.
we loved spending time with my brother and his family, if only we could have stayed longer.
the week after we returned home from our european adventure i made a beer crust cheese pizza. with a mixture of tomato and this summer's pesto. pretty good tasting. the crust turned out sweeter than usual but still good. good to have a different tasting crust. the recipe was off of martha stewart's website found
here.
this past week's recipe was inspired by my dearest friend ashlee gene. a
cornmeal crust, with black beans, tomatoes, salsa verde, cheese, and topped with avocado and fresh squeeze lime juice. be sure that you place the avocado slices on the pizza after it's done baking. mmmmmm mm....so good. it would have been even better with some cilantro but i had none. we had plenty of leftovers and todd and i both tried it cold, and it was still good.
