Painting Pizzas!

Fridays are usually our evenings of dining out (or IN!) with Carolyn.  It's been a 'tradition' of sorts for about 2 years now (WOW times flys!) and we enjoy spending that evening with her.  Some Fridays we don't get together because of one thing or another, but we try our best to keep with it. 

This Friday, after discussing options of what to do? where to go? we decided it would be best and we'd all be more comfortable if we just stayed home (aka: at our place).  What is on the menu?!  We'll it was going to be something simple like Keilbasa & mac n' cheese but Carolyn had the novel idea of making our own pizzas!  She picked up the ingredients -- THANKS!! - and we put our creative 'chef' hats on and got to work.  It was a blast to do and - personally - I felt like it tasted a LOT better and was finished in 10 min vs. waiting for the pizza delivery guy to arrive the usual "45 min - 1 hour" bit they always quote.

What we used:
Premade Pizza Dough (yea, they weren't THAT homeade LOL  No dough rollin' here!)
EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) --> place on dough prior to putting sauce on
Pizza sauce
Green bell peppers
Ground beef
pepperoni
cheese (mozerella & cheddar)

Put in oven on 425 for 7-10 min and EAT!  Simple, fun and tasty!

Austin "painting" his pizza --> that's what he called it anyways

Putting on his fav: pepperoni's 
Waiting the 7-10 min = picture time! 

It was so yummy and this is one dinner we will definately be doing again really soon!  Thanks, Ammie for the yummy / fun idea!
