Grilled Pizza ~

Have you ever made
grilled pizza?
*We love it* ~
We came home from church today
and made it for lunch.

Our oldest son made this for us
one day when we were visiting his family
and we have been hooked ever since.

Today we just made a standard pizza
with various toppings, but
I told hubby that I want to try a
tomato and basil pizza
next time.

We purchase frozen bread dough and let
one loaf thaw for a couple hours,
and then we cut the loaf into four pieces
for individual pizzas.
{don't let the dough rise...just thaw}
Next, press them out by hand into pizza shapes,
put the on the grill and
partially grill
the dough on each side. {don't get the dough totally cooked before adding
toppings or you will have a burnt mess
by the time it is all done}
Take the partially baked pizza dough off the grill,
add your toppings and put it back on
the grill on the TOP rack so it doesn't get
a lot of heat and cook until the cheese is melted.
You will have to experiment with your own
grill to get it the way you want it.

Yumm~

I just finished mine
and it was
so good!

Favorite Summer Desserts & Spritzer ~

This Strawberry Spritzer is to die for delicious!! You can click here to get the recipe. I thought I had gotten it off of Heather Bullard's site, but I can't find it on there now. SO...I did a google search and this is the very same recipe. I made it last night for the first time and it is a keeper for sure. I cut it down by a third for just hubby and I . You MUST try it~
Doesn't this look so wonderful? It is called Pineapple Fluff and I hadn't had it for years and then my sister-in-law made it for her son's graduation party this year. It is very easy to make. All you do is take 8 ounces of cream cheese (softened) and beat it with 1/2 cup sugar. Beat it well and then add 1 can of drained crushed pineapple and then fold in 8 ounces of cool whip. That is all she did because she does not like coconut or nuts. I added coconut because I love it. I also put it in the refrigerator for a while to get cold. It is very good, but I will warn you it is very rich too~ This is another one of my favorite summer desserts and another very easy one...Sunshine Cake ~ You bake a yellow cake according to the box directions and let it cool. (or if you are so inclined to make one from scratch that would work too...although I have never been able to find a box of *scratch* in my grocery store...lol) Next you make a 3 ounce box of instant vanilla pudding and beat in 8 ounces of cream cheese. (I beat the cream cheese until softened and then alternately add in the dry pudding mix and the milk) and spread it on the cake. Then put a layer of drained crushed pineapple on top and then a layer of whipped cream or cool whip. You can sprinkle the top with chopped walnuts too and it is wonderful!! I keep this cake in the refrigerator and it is soooo good. Hope you enjoyed these recipes. Please let me know if you try one and have a lovely day... Blessings~
