Recipe #2: Grilled Pizza

Hi Everyone,
    Who doesn't like pizza? Pizza can be made in so many ways and can be accommodated for anyone. I don't eat dairy but that doesn't keep me from eating pizza; I just make my own. Here is a fun, tasty and simple recipe for making pizza using the grill! 

Grilled Pizza
     Here are the ingredients that you'll need:
Put the pizza toppings in a muffin tin for easy organization

  • Pizza Dough 
  • Pizza sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese
  • Pizza toppings of your choice
  • Olive oil

    Set you grill on low. Cut up your veggies and place them in the muffin tins along with any other topping choices. Put your sauce and cheese in separate bowls as well. Separate your dough in 2 equal portions; or for smaller pizzas 4 equal portions. Now roll out the dough using a rolling pin until desired size has been reached. Place raw dough on a plate and oil both sides. Now let's grill them!

Put the raw dough on the grill
When the dough starts to bubble, flip it over.

    Now that it's been flipped, it's time to start the fun part! Let's assemble our pizza! Add your sauce, cheese and toppings onto the grilled side in any way you want.

    Close the grill and let the pizza's sit for a few minutes until the cheese has melted and toppings look cooked. Once they finish, slide them onto their own plate and it's done.

    A super fast and delicious dinner. The whole process takes about 20 mins total. Makes a great party food and also fun to do with kids. I have fond memories of making this type of pizza with my family during the summer :).

Recipe #1: Grilled Chicken Kabobs

Hi Everyone,
    Now that it's spring, and summer is just around the corner, it's time to fire up the grill! There's something magical about cooking meat on a stick. Here's a fresh and yummy recipe that tastes great and is also healthy for you.
Grilled Chicken Kabobs
    Here are the ingredients that you'll need:

  • 2-3 chicken breast 
  • 1 red & 1 green bell pepper
  • 3 bunches of long green onion
  • bamboo skewers
  • Teriyaki marinade 
  • Sesame oil
  • garlic powder
  • salt & pepper
    Take your bamboo skewers and place them in a cup of water to soak. Cut chicken breasts into bite sized chunks and place them in a bowl. Add teriyaki, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper(no measurements, just to your liking). Mix well and place in the fridge to marinate for 20mins. While the chicken is marinating, cut your vegetables into bite sized pieces as well. Only use the bottom white part of the green onion. Now that your chicken is done marinating, let's start assembling the kabobs.
Set up your work station for easy assembly

 They look really yummy! Once you've managed to skewer all ingredients, it's time to throw them on the grill.

     Grill until meat is cooked thoroughly and tender. Flip occasionally on both sides. Transfer to a serving platter and eat just by themselves or with sticky rice. Even add more teriyaki sauce for dipping.
