Whatcha' Cookin' Now Pizzaman

Adventures in Pizza continue in our home

Luke is Papa's Sous-Chef, 2nd in command of the pizza kitchen!

This particular pizza is a buffalo wing pizza.

Aaron made everything from scratch!

Here it is!

There it went....into our bellies. Along with some help from thankful neighbors, who we called, due to the fact that Derek LOVES wings!

Our Pizza Man has done it again!

I know it is Sunday and we usually have pizza on Friday nights but it all started with Mama trying to empty out the fridge. This sometimes is like a "Give a Mouse a Cookie" experience. But what ended up happening was Aaron making a fabulous new pizzas for us. We had come across Mary's Pizza Shack up north on our vacation and fell in love with the Roberto's Pizza.

Roberto’s Pizza
Pesto, pepperoni, mozzarella, fresh garlic, red
pepper flakes and olive oil, topped with
Napoletana sauce and fresh basil.

We knew we were going to figure out how to do this one at home. Thanks to my inquisitive man who asked the owner several questions as he watched him prepare this pizza, we have made our own. We made some changes of our own which made for a fabulous pizza. The entire pizza was consumed that evening, thanks to the help of the Cobbs & Bradleys (fellow pizza lovers).

I believe the word of the night was glutton!

More pizza adventures from the Abshire Pizzeria coming soon!

Pizza Nights

As we have previously posted, Friday nights are "Pizza Nights" at the Abshire home. We all look forward to Fridays and some GOOD pizza. To update you on our adventures, you already know that we have found the perfect crust. We tried the pear & gorgonzola but wanted something different. Then it dawned on us to do our favorites from when Aaron & Liz had a pizza parlor in their early married years. So we have enjoyed barbeque chicken pizza and the incredible BLT pizza ~ oh man! These are some great memories. Papa is starting to toss the pizzas, just like he use to. Mama comes in behind him and cleans up all the flour off the floor & counters, just like she use to! :) We have also noticed the children like to invite their friends over on Fridays to join the fun.

Things are heating up around here!

Maybe we will start taking orders!!!

The girls & a friend making their own pizzas!

Papa havin' a blast!

Pizza Night

Friday nights are usually pizza night around here, but this week it was tonight. We have started a tradition of making our own pizzas and are having a blast. It took a few weeks to come to agreements on crusts & sauces, but we are liking what we are coming up with. The crust we have settled on is DELICIOUS. It can be found at this link ~ Jay's Signature Pizza Crust. I figure if 1,600 people can give it 4.5 stars it has got to be good, and it is.

All of us pitch in with pizza night. Abbie enjoys kneading the dough. Hopie enjoys checking up on the dough and making sure it is rising. The occasional finger imprint lets me know she is doing her job. Mama rolls out the crusts and finds fun new recipes. Papa goes back to Sal's Pizza days and makes the pizzas.

As we have gotten settled in our tradition we are starting to branch out and experiment. So tonight we made our standard pizza plus a gourmet pizza. I found it on Allrecipes. It was pear and Gorgonzola cheese pizza. OH MY!!!!! It was fabulous, or what we call a "keeper" recipe.

I don't know how far we will take these pizzas adventures but stay tuned and we will keep you posted! For now ~ bon appetit!
