Creepy Pizza Party

At least once a week, I let my 6 yr old, Kaylee make dinner. Okay, not really, she just makes us pizza. I buy 2 fresh balls of pre-made pizza dough  and let it rise for an hour. Then I cut up bell peppers, baby spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, cooked chicken and whatever else we decide on that week. Then she goes to town making interesting concoctions of pizzas and a special "personal pizza" just for her- although she ends up eating ours afterwards too. She gets very creative with the vegetables she tries on a pizza, especially if she is the one who made it, thus it is a great way to get kids to eat vegetables.

Once she has sprinkled all the cheese and they are in the oven, we listen to this creepy song by the Olsen twins:

Best Pie Dough Recipe on Earth

Here is my special pie dough recipe I use, from my mother, who got it from her old high school ec. teacher.:


Pie Dough/ Pastry

(500g) 2 cups cake flour
(250g) 1 cup milk or margarine- cold
1/2 tsp salt
60 ml cold water
15 ml vinegar or lemon juice
1 egg yolk

Beat all liquid ingredients together.
Cut into flour, and rub till it resembles bread crumbs.
Now roll/cut and use to your hearts desire. (I use it for mince pies mmmmm)

200C (about 380 F) till brown

Love and sugar,
