Adventures in grilling!

I am loving our new grill! I kind of bought it for Kaleb so I wouldn't have to cook, but it turns out that I love to grill! Everything tastes so much better! So last week I tried a grilled pizza. I've always wanted to try this and on my favorite cooking website, http://www.ourbestbites.com/ they had a cool idea to grill the pizza dough. I have my own pizza dough recipe so I made small pizza crusts and threw them on the grill at a lower temp. I got a couple of them a little too crispy (okay, I burnt them), but they actually didn't taste too bad, then I used the recipe for pizza sauce on the same website and topped them with some marinated grilled chicken breasts, peppers from our garden, olives, and onions. It was like 100 degrees that day so I just stuck them in the oven on low broil. MMMMMM!!! They were delicious. I also tried THE best recipe for garlic bread (also found on the best bites website). It was SO GOOD!!! I had the leftover garlic bread for breakfast the next day. I know, sounds a little gross, but I'm pregnant, and it was really good!



Tonight I tried the recipe for fajitas on the best bites website. Only I accidentally used a pepper from our garden that I hadn't tasted before. It's called "fajita bell" and it was SPICY!!!! When I bit into the fajitas and got one of the peppers I about burned my mouth off!! Whoops! I learned my lesson: try the vegetable before you serve it to your family!!!

Hey, Jennifer....
It was good to see you and Jess at the temple. I wonder if Keith would cook pizza on his grill. That sounded really good. I may have to take over the grill!
