Pizza Night
Its Pizza Night here at the Country Cottage. Our Great Grandchildren Brinden and Kyleigh have been here for a summer visit. One thing that we have always enjoyed as a family is Pizza Night. Everyone gets to help make the Pizza, its a lot of fun and it is soooo good!
Kyleigh (nickname Miss Texas) made a Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza.
Brinden made a Hamburger, Red and Green Bell Pepper, Onion and Purple Basil Pizza.
They both helped out with the Basil Pesto and Cheese Pizza.
We made our Pizza Sauce and Basil Pesto early in the day so all the seasons could set.
Pizza Sauce
24 ounces of homemade tomato sauce
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, minced fine
1 tablespoon fresh basil, fine chop
pinch of salt
pinch of red pepper flakes
Mix all the ingredients together and simmer for at least one hour.
