Monday Funday!

I had the best day yesterday!
The sun was out, Six was at work, Wendy was at work, Wyatt was at school, it was just me and the neighbor kid soaking up the sun listening to the radio, playing outside, cleaning up inside and baking.
It isn't to often I have one of those days.
A day that isn't full of things to do or places to go or phone calls to make, just doing whatever we wanted.
It was a great day.

I made this cake...

That turned out sooo good and looked like this...

I know the angle of that photo isn't the best, but you get the "picture" .

It was amazing and just in case you haven't heard of it yet or made it yourself I'm going to tell you how it goes.

Pineapple Angle Food Cake

1 box of Angle Food cake mix

1 20 oz can of crushed pineapple

Mix the two ingredients together and bake as directed on box.

Got it?

Good!

Island Video Denise in Arizona said she made it with a can of blueberry pie filling and LOVED it and next time I'm going to use a can of cherry pie filling.

Can't wait.

Then for dinner we had homemade pizza which is without a doubt one of our favorite things.

I usually make it with pesto, artichoke hearts, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes, but last night I made Wyatt's favorite, pepperoni.

You could throw anything you have in your fridge on it though and you don't have to use fancy pizza sauce, we just use tomato sauce, tomato paste, spaghetti sauce, alfredo sauce, whatever you have in the cupboard, use it.

But as I said, last night was pepperoni...

I should have taken another picture after it was baked, but I was to busy burning my mouth eating pizza straight from the oven.

I know you're thinking to yourself well we do Pappa Murphys and that's just like homemade pizza. 

No it's not.

Anything like homemade pizza.

At all.

And this is seriously SO easy and I don't even use a rolling pin to flatten it out I just use my hands and it isn't even round, it's whatever shape it is when I feel the dough is right.

Not to thick, not to thin, even though some pizzas I like thicker crust, red sauce pizzas and some I like thinner crusts, any other sauce.

So here's the recipe for the crust.

Easy Peasy Pizza Crust

2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast (or one package)

1 teaspoon of sugar

1 cup of hot tap water (not boiling)

2 1/2 cups of flour

2 Tablespoons of oil

1 teaspoon of salt

Mix the yeast, sugar and water and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Mix in the other ingredients and let it rest another 5 or 10 minutes.

Flour your hands and counter and roll out or shape your crust and then lay it on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.

Bake in a pre-heated 450 oven for about 20 minutes, but start watching it after 18 until it's done.

See how easy that is!

Ok, I have to go to town, I slacked off yesterday so today I have places to go and things to do.

Here's a picture of the neighbor.

Don't blame me for the camo tank top and brown socks, he came that way.

Peas.
