Last week our grandsons came for a visit. Of course, we had to cook. We gathered around the table and came up with two very good individual pizzas. Grandpa and Grandma and Duncan and Aiden shared a memorable Friday night together that we will not soon forget.
 |
| We went to the park to play. |
 |
| Then, we went for a bike ride. |
 |
| And finally, we went to Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, in 3-D. |
The first pizza is a traditional pepperoni pizza.
Ingredients:
- English Muffin Bread
- Pepperoni
- Green bell pepper
- Red onion
- Green onions
- Button mushrooms
- Roma tomatoes
- Pizza sauce
- Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
 |
| Assemble the ingredients. |
 |
| Ready to get started! |
 |
| Grandpa helps Aiden to open the mozzarella cheese. |
 |
| Slice the mushrooms. |
 |
| Seed and dice the pepper. This one is a jalapeno. We like a little heat! |
 |
| Duncan cuts the green onion into slices. |
 |
| Aiden gets the pepperoni ready. |
 |
| Continue slicing the red onion. |
 |
| Dice the green bell pepper. |
 |
| Slice the Roma tomatoes. |
 |
| Put the pizza sauce onto the English Muffin bread. |
 |
| Carefully spread the sauce onto the bread. |
 |
| Grandpa likes to cook. |
 |
| Grandma is having fun. |
 |
| Sprinkle the cheese onto the sauce. |
 |
| Make sure to do a taste test. |
 |
| Sprinkle the cheese just where you want it. |
 |
| Keep adding the toppings. |
 |
| Customize your pizza to your individual taste. |
 |
| It takes a lot of concentration. |
 |
| I think I am finished. |
 |
| Finishing up before putting them onto the baking pan. |
 |
| Have an adult put the pizza into the oven. Bake 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until browned on the edges. |
 |
| Ready for baking. |
 |
| Out of the oven and ready to eat. |
 |
| Now for the taste test. |
 |
| Getting ready to sample. |
 |
| Enjoy! |
The second pizza is a B.L.T. Pizza.
Ingredients:
- English muffin bread
- Pizza sauce
- Roma tomatoes
- Bacon
- Mozzarella cheese
- Lettuce
- Mayonnaise
 |
| Have an adult cook the bacon on the stove top. |
 |
| Bacon will be brown and crispy. |
 |
| Aiden is crumbling the bacon. |
 |
| Taste to make sure it will be okay to use on the pizza. |
 |
| Slice the Roma tomatoes. |
 |
| Spoon pizza sauce on the English muffin bread. |
 |
| Add the mozzarella cheese, then the cooked bacon, and the fresh Roma tomato slices, and more cheese on top. |
 |
| The pizza is ready to put on baking stone. |
 |
| Grandpa. |
 |
| Duncan and Grandma. |
 |
| Aiden and Grandma. |
 |
| Are you ready for a "throw down"? |
 |
| Cook the pizzas at 425 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. These were baked on a baking stone. |
 |
| Add fresh chopped lettuce to the baked pizza. |
 |
| Squirt a little mayo on top. |
 |
| Enjoy! |
 |
| I add a little spicy brown mustard on my B.L.T. pizza. |
 |
| Great memories. |
 |
| Cooking is cool! |
 |
| Grandpa baked some chocolate chip cookies. |
 |
| They are the best, and so is grandpa. |
 |
| My favorite cooks. |
