It started when I stopped in the Grocery Outlet and checked out their basket of "fresh stuff that really needs to go away before it starts to smell" cart. There was a whole bunch of organic cherry tomatoes that were perfectly fine as long as you planned to use them immediately. Due to our erratic weather this year, my garden has not produced one tomato yet, so I scarfed up two packages for $1.00.
I remembered Roz over at La Bella Vita posting a recipe for sweet cherry tomato/pesto sauce. I washed my tomatoes and popped them in a grill basket on the gas grill and ran out and picked a bunch of basil to make the sauce. Then it hit me. Hey - how about pizza on the grill since it's so dang hot in the house? I've always wanted to try pizza on the grill.
After just a few moments on each side they came back to the kitchen and we piled on the wonderful sauce, pepperoni, sweet onion, olives, and fresh grated whole milk mozzarella. I turned off one side of the grill to cook with indirect heat and turned the other side to medium. I put them back on for about 5 minutes to finish cooking the crust and melt the cheese. Deliziosa!
Next I'm going to try making bread on the grill...
Roz also is starting something really fun called Fresh Friday. It begins on Friday, August 27 for any blogger that has a post related to anything fresh.
What does that include?
Roz says:
- fresh scent/s
- freshly prepared food
- non-packaged or preserved food (however canning or freezing 'fresh' food can be included)
- fresh new look/outfit/design/decor
- a fresh new quilt made, or any new hand-made treasure
- a fresh new beauty/exercise routine
- fresh cut flowers
- fresh new outlook, beginning, start, idea, experience, goal
- anything recently made or produced
- newly harvested
- fresh, clean and pure: water, air, make-up, rain, products you use/recommend
- anything unused and free from dirt, soil, impurities
Well that about covers it all.
Read more at La Bella Vita and say hi! to Roz...
Update on Garden Tool belt
Tried out my new garden tool belt from Avon yesterday. Wow! It was better than expected. Nothing fell out and it felt light as a feather when it was on. My husband said I looked really serious while wearing it...(I think that was a compliment)

hubby made his first homemade pizza the other day. way yummy!
Ooooooo, Adrienne, that looks very, very yummy. Susan
MM - pizza is really pretty easy and it gives us a chance to clean out the fridge. Store bought pizza (frozen) is outrageously expensive and too many of the franchise pizzas are horrible and also very expensive.
We get big bags of pepperoni at Costco plus the mozzarella. The cheese I cut in smaller chunks, vacuum seal, and freeze and the pepperoni just lives in the freezer.
Susan - wish I could send you a piece (or two)
It was really fast and easy - give it a try...
Mmm-mmm!! Adrienne, I'm salivating. Now I gotta have some pizza!! That looks so good. Our tomatoes were just terrible this year. I don't know why. Maybe they don't like all the 100+ temps we've had this year. Your flower cuttings look so gorgeous. I'm so glad your new tool belt is working for you. It sounds like it's worth much more than what you spent on it. Don't you just love it when something works out so well for you? Hugs.
Oh Adrienne, I just love you! You are so kind to have posted about one of my recipes and my blog hop. The grilled pizzas look fabulous, something that I must try! I love ALL of the toppings that you used.....mmmm pizza! I could eat it forever in so many varieties! Blessings to you in return for your kindness, Love, Roz
