Grilled Pizza With the White Family

A few weeks ago I found a recipe for grilling pizza. We tried it and loved it and tonight had our friends, the Whites, come over for some. I had made the dough in advance and we all made our own pizzas. Their daughter, Samantha, said I made a really good crust! (You know you made something good when a 4-year old tells you they like it.)

Samantha and their other daughter, Nora, helped me to water my flowers. They were very helpful. We also played a game and I was the mean witch/stepmother and Samantha was Cinderella. I forgot who Nora was, but she was a stepsister. So, since I was mean, I made them "mop" and "sweep" and "clean" the house and Cinderella had to write a letter to me telling me how beautiful and nice I am and how lovely I sing and dance. Then, I gave Cinderella only vegetables for dinner, while I had really good pizza. How's that for mean? :)

When we had dessert, we stopped pretending. There's something about brownies and ice cream that quietted everything down, even with the adults!

Here the girls are drawing.

Here's the pizza before it's flipped. (We don't have an actual grill, but a stovetop grill that Justin's mom bought us. We use it A LOT! Thanks, Mom!)

Here's Dave and Mel making their pizzas. Dave seemed to take the job seriously and Mel just had fun with it. :)

I would love your pizza dough recipe. Also, we are thinking of getting a grill...would you recommend the one you have...since we are in a flat?

Those look great!

Hey Julie,
I sent you the recipe. It's for an outside grill, so if you like to grill outside, I'd buy an outside grill. As I said, my mom got us the stovetop one, and it was from a home show in Houston. Not sure how available it is.
