This was our pizza last week! I didn't try grilling it, but I was still quite happy with how it turned out. I received a pizza stone as a wedding gift but always struggled with getting the pizza onto it, so my sister bought me a pizza peel for Christmas! Somehow, this was the first time that I'd used it and had it really work well. It was pretty yummy, too. It probably would have had an even chewier, more authentic crust if I'd used bread flour, but I went with just regular whole-wheat flour this time.
It's looking like an easy week for me, cooking-wise, because we have a party on Friday evening and a wedding on Saturday. Last night, John grilled chicken and I boiled up some teeny fingerling potatoes which my Mom-in-law had dug up a bit prematurely, since they were preparing for a big Europe trip. (They're somewhere over there right now! So exciting!). Dad recently told me that the barbecue marinade recipe which I have from his mother is called Cornell style. It is soo yummy....here's to upstate New York! Of course we had some salad to round out that meal. Gemma is becoming a great little salad eater, and I'm so proud of her! We used to have to really push her to eat the three or so bite-sized pieces of lettuce or spinach I'd give her, but now she happily chows down about twice that amount independently. I've heard that children need to try new foods more times than adults in order to develop new tastes, and I think it's true in her case!

Do your kids eat salad? We let Gemma have raisins on hers, because that's how we like ours. I think the raisins do help. :)
