Happy Heart Day!


Anja's Valentine's Day pizza, complete with roasted red and yellow peppers, pine nuts and mozzarella cheese. Yum! (We added garlic, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms for Erik, sauteed onions and corn to the others.)

Beginning late last fall, we tried to establish a once-a-week tradition of making homemade pizzas. So, the weekly thing hasn't worked, but we've certainly tried. (We hope that once the swim season is over, we'll be able to do it more often!) We got the recipe from our friends Adam and Laura when we traveled to Seattle last summer. Turns out we owned the book that the recipe for "Friday Night Pizza" came out of: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, by Barbara Kingsolver, but we hadn't reached that part in the book yet. (You can have the recipe too, just look under "Recipes" on the right side.)

Anyway, to celebrate another pizza night and Valentine's Day, we made heart shaped pizza this evening. Below is our little helper!


Anja's got a knack for spreading toppings and rolling out the dough!

We had Friday Night Pizza on Saturday, Sunday... and a new batch again Monday and Tuesday! Thanks for the recipe! OH, our best combo was olive oil, garlic, mozzarella, fresh oregano, fresh rosemary and carmelized onions. <3, Alisha.
