Happy Memorial Day!!! Take a few minutes to give thanks and remember those who have died in our nation's service. Stop to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom.
Any big plans for your family? What about the FOOD? Dessert?
At the last minute I changed my mind on our dessert and can't wait to share it with you! Later this week for sure!! For now let's get on to the PIZZA!!!!!!
There is nothing more tasty than fresh garden tomatoes!! I love this time of year when our garden produces the love apples! Yummy goodness!!!!
Over the weekend I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them too! It had to be pizza! And since I also had fresh basil on the patio this made for a super delicious pizza.
I had no idea the flavors I love so much together on a pizza actually had a name.
The traditional toppings on a Margherita pizza are: fresh basil, fresh tomatoes, olive oil, sea salt, garlic, and mozzarella. Typically the tomatoes are sliced and scattered across the dough before finely chopped garlic and basil are sprinkled on, followed by rounds of thinly sliced cheese. The pizza is drizzled lightly in olive oil and sea salt just before baking, and when well made it is crisp without any trace of greasiness.
We used Roma tomatoes and kicked up the pizza with goat cheese. Can you say DELISH? We didn't sprinkle the garlic and simply used freshly grated mozzarella cheese. I used the same pizza dough(recipe link below)as usually, but made sure to spread it out to make a thin crust.
When you have homemade pizza every Friday night it can sometimes get boring having the same old thing. I use to be the traditional pizza type girl. But am happy to say I am stepping out of my small boring box. I like trying new and different toppings.
With many more tomatoes in the garden I intend to have this pizza again very soon!
What are some of your favorite toppings that are NOT traditional pizza toppings? I would love for you to share so I can have some new ideas.
