pizza party!

pizza party- make your own pizza station

pizza party- make your own pizza stationWe have officially started transitioning into a new phase of birthday parties (at least with Burke)- to a more ‘big kid’ version. This year’s party was a smaller crowd (and no parents), with less organized activities (though, they played HARD in the neighborhood pool for the first half of the party) and no theme (unless ‘pizza party’ counts as a theme).

pizza party- make your own pizza stationI can’t believe we are already moving into this new ‘big kid’ stage, but also I am loving watching our kids grow into themselves (if that makes sense), and also really enjoying the funny, quirky, interesting, caring people they are becoming. Seriously, just adore them. Bring on pizza parties and the other big kid stuff!

perfect grilled pizza (and our pizza crust recipe)

how to make grilled pizza

We make grilled pizza a lot. In Denver, in the summer, we probably made pizza almost every week. And then we made it in Saipan whenever we could find fresh mozzarella and goat cheese. And now we make it a ton in Texas. It’s such a nice trick to have in your grilling arsenal and takes […]

the best of summer- how to make pizza on the grill

I am pretty sure that this recipe was made for summer. Or maybe summer was made for this recipe? Either way- fresh tomatoes and basil (we also add squash, peppers, whatever is in our garden that week), homemade pesto, plus grilled pizza dough is perfection. Seriously. I am also not exaggerating when I say that […]
