Why I am not a food blogger ...by Mommy

As you know, there are lots of beautiful blogs out there for "Phoodies" with enticing photographs of scrumptious dishes plated with little garnishes,sprigs of herbs, etc.

Well, this is not that blog.

We like to have yummy food ... we like to have a pretty table ... but we are usually WAY to busy eating and enjoying it to photograph our dinner.

Case in point ... For our family fun nights the last few weeks we have fallen into a bit of a routine. We go for a family swim at the Y and then make homemade pizza.

I have yet to get a picture of any of this because 1.) our camera is not waterproof 2.) when trying to hold onto squirmy Benjamin in the pool, I cannot take pictures and 3.) we are just having too much fun to be interrupted!

So, here are a few (pitiful) pictures of the delicious pizzas we made.
We invited Grammie, Gramps, and Ompak over to join us after swimming for the pizza last week ...
and we all experimented with different toppings ...
-
First,
we like a little basil pesto and minced garlic
to spread on the crust before baking ...
YUM!

-
Below was a deep dish pizza ...
Unfortunately, we got to it before the camera did ...
it was 1/2 mushroom, olive, pepperoni,
and 1/2 Canadian bacon.
-
-
This was "Greek Pizza" which is not doubt
equally offensive to the Greeks
and the Italians ...
but it sure is delicious!
goat cheese, artichoke hearts, Canadian bacon, black olives, mushrooms ...

*This one turned out to be everyone's favorite!*
Another perversion of ethnic identities ...
"Mexican Pizza"
This was also a big hit!
salsa, shredded chicken, diced green chiles, and mont. jack cheese


I know these pictures are not ideal,
but we had a lot of fun swimming and making the pizzas!
-
Since all the pizza was gone at the end of the evening ...
I think we can call it a success!
