January Fun

 January was a pretty quiet time around our house, which is good every once in a while.  Aside from Amelia's birthday party (which will be a separate post) and helping hostess a baby shower for a friend there weren't any big events around here.  And that's a good thing.

 The big girls enjoy playing with their Christmas gifts, like these tutus and wings they were given by Matt's cousin's family.

 New puzzles were also a popular item to keep us busy.

 They're such great friends.

 Playtime with daddy

We've found a pizza dough recipe we enjoy, so we've been trying out different topping combos.  I generally bake a cheese pizza for the girls in the oven, and Matt grills the dough for the adult pizza.   We then top our pizza and finish it in the oven on a baking stone.  This recipe makes a wonderfully crispy crust.  You should try it!

  BBQ chicken pizza

               Spinach, basil, tomato, feta and mozzarella pizza brushed with garlic infused olive oil

 Cheese pizza 

 Chicken pizza with white pizza sauce 

 (I used Parmesan for the sauce instead of Parmesiano-Reggiano since it's what I had on hand)                 

Since we roll the dough out so thin it does tend to get stretched and misshapen when transferring it to the grill, but we aren't eating it because it's going to win any "perfectly symmetrical pizza" awards, we don't mind eating interesting looking pizzas.

Great.  Now I want pizza.
