Okay, so I didn’t actually have dinner for breakfast as my title would suggest, although I certainly wouldn’t be opposed! But I am going to show you last night’s dinner.
I had originally planned to make pizza on the grill. But plans change and things go wrong, so I ended up making pizza the conventional way: in the oven.
Why? Well, my son and I set out to fundraise for his school by selling huge tubs of cookie dough to all of our neighbors. The school really makes some little selling-machines by all of the incentives they offer. In particular, my son was motivated by a GAMES2U truck which parks in their school lot and is filled with electronic games of all sorts. I’m picturing a sort of “arcade-on-wheels?” Anyway, we’ve only lived in our home for about 2 years now, so we met a few new people and ended up staying out much later than anticipated.
Darkness and topping pizzas on the grill don’t really mesh. So the oven it was.
I really have a way of drawing out explanations, huh?
Regardless of cooking method, these pizzas turned out delicious!
I made homemade whole-wheat dough, for the first time! I used the “wine-bottle” method, since I don’t have a roller. It worked great!
"Homemade" sauce: (Tomato sauce, tomato paste, italian seasoning, oregano, crushed red pepper, a little sugar, garlic--all to taste)
The kids (my son, his cousin, and my little sister) and the man had simple cheese pizza. The final product seemed to escape the camera, and I only got a picture of the crust. I was hunnngry, so pictures weren’t a priority!
I had a super-thin crust pizza topped with sautéed mini sweet peppers, spinach, and mushrooms. And then crumbled goat cheese! Ah-mazing! I tried of a piece of the “kid-pizza” and I would choose mine any day! ;)
Considering I am at work, I should probably do some work. ;)
Exciting plans for tomorrow include soccer game, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and FroYo!!!
Plans for tonight? My man is taking our son to a Chicago Bulls game, so I’m going to find something fun and girly to do with my niece! :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

Looks tasty! I hope you drank the wine after! :) This weekend I'm off to visit some relatives for Canadian Thanksgiving, and hopefully relaxing because I'm exhausted today. 5pm can't come fast enough!
@eatspinrunrepeat I didn't open that particular bottle of wine last night! But you can bet I will be opening a bottle tonight! :)
That looks delicious! I am going to have to try that. We had to sell cookie dough too! Your such a trooper to go out and sell them. 80 percent of our neighboorhood goes to the same school, so the school just got all of my money! ;)
