Grilled Pizza

Tonight we had home made BBQ Grill Pizzas.  This is the 3rd time this summer we've made them & we love 'em!    We've used Rhodes Frozen Bread Dough as well as their frozen roll dough.  Both work great.  We like to make individual pizzas.  This way the girls can make them however they want.

We roll out each ball of dough to about 1/4" thick.  You don't want it too thin or it's easier to burn to an undesirable crisp:(  Place them on a cookie sheet (for transportation purposes only.  They won't cook on the sheets)  Brush Olive Oil on one side.  This prevents the dough from sticking to the grill.

With the BBQ grill heated up to Med Grill temp., place dough on it with the oiled side down.  

It only takes a minute or two for that side of the dough to become golden brown.  Don't flip them over.  Immediately remove them from the grill & place them, browned side down on the cookie sheet.  The uncooked side needs to be face up for you to brush olive oil on it.  Turn the grill down to a lower setting.

Once the uncooked side has been oiled, flip them over on the cookie sheet.  Place the toppings on the browned side of the crust.  We use the standard spaghetti sauce, grated cheddar cheese, pepperoni, & sliced olives & mushrooms.    

Once the toppings are on the browned crust, place the pizza back on the grill with the uncooked & oiled side of the crust down.  Close the lid & let cook for about 5 minutes.  This is just a trial by error estimate.  If the grill isn't hot enough, the crust will cook like a roll & grow.  But if it's too hot, the crust will burn before the toppings bake.  Good luck:)

Remove from grill when toppings are melted together and the bottom of the crust is golden brown.

YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

Spring Snow

This is Utah in the late spring.  Very brown, dead and ugly:(  My girls even commented on how much they missed the green trees of home.  That made me smile:)

Then because it's spring break, it has to snow for us.  My girls loved it!

They wasted no time before it could melt away!

In the sun he melted small, small, small. ♪♬♩

Modest Swim Suits

It's so difficult for us to find modest swimming suits in Washington.  Even the little girls' size suits raise eyebrows.  I lucked out finding Olivia's here.  But I had to wait for our Spring Break trip to Utah to find suits for Brynn, Emma & Kara.  Thank you Sears!!!

Emma & Kara's are one piece suits that came with a skirt for a better cover up.  They wanted the same suits!  Surprised?  No.   Brynn's is a one piece as well that has the skirt sewn directly onto it.  It's SO her!

Emma & Kara.  Or is it Kara & Emma?

Such a goose:)

*sigh*  Never a bad picture with Brynn.

This indoor pool also has a water slide.  I think the speed of it tops out at .5 mph.

After the girls went swimming, we met my mom & dad at a restaurant for lunch.  It's one of my favorite places to eat when we visit Utah!  There's no dieting while on vacation, you know.

I love my dad's black cowboy hat.  He's just a good lookin' as ever!

For those who wonder if Brynn eats much, let this be a testament to you:)  

Emma.  Always crossing her eyes at people:)

Thanks for the fun lunch, mom & dad!
