Buffalo Chicken Pizza

buffalo chicken pizza recipe

My son's favorite restaurant is California Pizza Kitchen.  When given the option, it is always his first choice.  I can think of worse places to have to go when my children are given the option of where we eat.  The last time we visited CPK, we were alarmed.  They took our favorite pizza off of the menu!  The Buffalo Chicken Pizza at CPK was a treat.  It was just spicy enough, had a great crust, and the best sauce for dipping.  It was a ranch blue cheese dipping sauce that was perfect to … [Read more...]

We have made it to Kansas.  My initial thoughts are that Kansas is a beautiful place, and that we are going to be very happy here.  We are staying at a hotel in Kansas City until our household goods arrive next week.  We went to the base today and picked out our house.  I picked the one with the best light in the kitchen.  Are you surprised?  We have never really lived on base before, we lived on base in Canada, but never on a base of this size and on the actual base.  I was really … [Read more...]

Overnight Pizza Crust

I love making pizza with my children.  We do it quite often (these picture are from two different pizza making evenings) and it is one of our favorite Friday night activities.  They like to roll out their dough and spoon the sauce over the crust.  They sprinkle their cheese on top and make happy faces with their pepperoni.  We laugh and chat about our day.  It is makes a mess and there is flour everywhere, but I hope that when my babies are adults that they remember our Friday night pizza … [Read more...]

Thai Chicken Pizza

thai chicken pizza recipe

We love to make pizza around here.  It is a favorite with the adults and children alike.  I make my own dough, and usually have some in my freezer for whenever we feel like whipping up a fresh pizza.  This pizza was inspired by the one at California Pizza Kitchen.  Their Thai Chicken Pizza is my favorite.  When my husband is standing duty, I have been known to stick a frozen CPK Thai Chicken Pizza in the oven and call it dinner.  Come to think of it, I have not done that in ages, I should … [Read more...]
