Pizza!

Homemade pizza is so easy, even if you aren't the greatest baker. I use a really easy recipe for the dough that I played around with when I used to be a baking counselor at summer camp. We baked pizza with the kids. Funny, there was more flour on the kids than in the pizza! The crazy thing is, they had me baking with the kids, and I can't really bake. But even I couldn't screw it up. Much :) Finally got it right and now I make homemade for my family any time they want it. Sometimes if I'm really in lazy mode, we just get the dough from the pizza place. And if something comes up and you can't get to it, the dough freezes perfectly fine to use another time.

So today we decided on two kinds, but since everyone is picky when it comes to pizza, we all get a section. One is basic, a tomato, mozzarella and ricotta! With a little Parmesan sprinkled in with the mozzarella. The other is the picky pizza. Some like onions, some like peppers, some no onions, no peppers! So one got half pepper, half onion and everybody here likes mushrooms!

So what's your favorite?
