Last night I made grilled pizza for dinner. And it was good. I have been intrigued by the idea of putting an actual pizza on the grill for awhile now but haven't had the nerve to give it a whirl.
Sundays are a pretty relaxed day for meals here so I decided why not! I made sure I had back-up food in case it was a disaster.
I used ingredients that I had on hand except for the fresh mozzarella. Daniel was going shopping so I had him pick some up. I made sauce, sausage, and cheese for him and the kids and a tomato, pesto, and mozzarella for me. Incredibly delicious!
Can I just take a little detour in this food-themed post to talk abut my husband shopping? Okay... As a woman, when I shop, I come home with what's on the list.... and some other stuff. It's an experience. You know?
When Daniel goes shopping... he comes home with what's on his list. Nothing else. Period. I find that rather intriguing. And hard to grasp. It must be that one track mind thing men have. Or at least my man has.
Anyways, back to the pizza.
It was amazingly easy to make. I make a dough that doesn't need to rise, which is a huge time saver. The actual cooking on the grill was so simple and clean! No extra dishes. And you guys, I tried to burn the pizza. I really did. I got so distracted by children, and my husband, and cleaning up my mess that I forgot about the pizza. But it just wouldn't burn! That is a major bonus in my book.
So, grilled pizza is fast, delicious, and won't burn. Perfect!

Ohhhh that looks yummy!!
My husband only buys what's on the list, too. They just don't know how to shop! (or maybe they do...)
I'd love to try that, could you post the recipe you used for the dough and maybe some helpful hints!! Thanks!!!
Okay, so where's the dough recipe? And did you make your own pesto? Looks YUM!! Hard to burn is a BIG bonus in my book.
That looks so yummy! I may have to try that :)
And as for the husband shopping...that is SO NOT my experience!! My husband comes home with what is one the list and about $50 worth of miscellaneous snacks. I come home with just what is on the list. Maybe we are just role reversed :)
Will you share your dough recipe? I have that on my list for this weeks recipes to try, but I only have a rising dough recipe. Good to know it works well!
And Mike is totally opposite. I stray from the list a little, he strays... well, let's just say I rarely send him alone :) We are on a major budget here at the moment.
Your belly shot post actually makes me miss being pregnant. I loved the excitement and anticipation of it. It is great that he is here too and I can enjoy wearing normal clothes again!
Oh boy, that's making me super hungry! Maybe we'll try that tonight :)
Your baby belly made me smile. I just posted an updated picture of mine and we look about the same size 1 year removed, haha.
That pizza looks delcious! Anything that has pesto on it I'm a sucker for!
Oh- how awesome! I have been wanting to do this also... but we don't have a grill! Crazy! We live in Tx and don't own a grill ( I think thats against the law!) We are looking for one though.
Oh, and I so need the dough recipe! I had a rcipe about 10 years ago that did not need to rise, but it is long gone and I haven't been able to find another. So please share!

Oh, my...I love reading your blog. Not only do I enjoy your posts, but the food makes my mouth water! That looks wonderful - where, oh where, is the recipe? : )
I think you could write recipes for a magazine and photograph them too!
That looks so yummy!
I've been wanting to do grilled pizza for awhile now but haven't worked up the guts to do it yet. I think you just talked me into it! It looks delicious.

What a cool idea! That would make a good recipe to post on Tuesday...hint hint...
Looks absolutely delicious!!!!
That looks great. I've really been wanting to start cooking more at home This definitely inspires me to dive into it.
Thank you.
Yummy! I haven't had pizza in a while.
I've looked at your recent posts and I just love all the pics, Andrea. You have an absolutely lovely family.
Eliza is more beautiful everyday and so are Eve and Judah (handsome, that is).
Could I call you sometime this week and catch up? It seems like we haven't talked or emailed in so long. I miss our conversations.
Hugs,
Eden

We do pizza on the grill alot too. I love it. I do Digarno though and it is usually done on a tired Friday night...but we do however love grilling! Your pizza looks great byt he way.
If I were a millionaire, you would be my personal chef. Sigh. My mouth is watering.
Oh yum! That looks so good. Too bad I don't actually know how to use our grill. =)
