Grilled Pizza

This is probably our favorite meal of the summer. BBQ Chicken Grilled Pizza. And it is so incredibly easy to make.

You can either make your own dough or buy pre-made dough at the grocery store. Keep it in the refrigerator until just before you are ready to grill.

Get all your toppings together. I made BBQ Chicken Pizza so my toppings consisted of:

Grilled BBQ Chicken

Chopped Red Onions

Chopped Roasted Red Peppers

Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce

Turn the grill on medium low and let it heat up for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Roll the dough out and cut it into sizes you can flip and move around easily with a spatula. You don't have to flip the dough, but I like mine grilled on both sides. Brush olive oil on both sides of the dough, and on the grill.

If you have never grilled pizza before I suggest testing a small amount of dough first, it cooks VERY fast and I burned my first batch.

Set the dough on the grill and check it often. When you see grill marks and the dough starts to rise a bit, flip it over. Then, put your toppings on as quick as you can. Close the lid and wait about 3-5 minutes. At this point, I usually turn the grill off and shut the lid again if the cheese hasn't melted.

It takes a bit of attention, but it is so so worth it!

Grilled Pineapple

This is divine. The original recipe I read said to serve these over vanilla ice-cream but we ate it along side our steak, salad and corn on the cob. Deon looked at it and made a face and I asked him to at least try it, for our sons sake. He did and then asked to have part of my share.

1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1 inch slices (Okay, I cheated and used canned, worked fine)

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons melted butter

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix everything but the pineapple and then coat the pineapple with the mixture. Put on a hot grill and cook about a minute per side.

Steak Marinade

A quote from my husband after eating a cheap steak I put in this marinade before grilling "You can put the A-1 away".

It is that good, and surprisingly simple too.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

Mix and pour into a bag with steaks. Marinade 12 to 24 hours. Bring steaks to room temperature before grilling and then cook as you normally would.

Put the steak sauce away.

Enjoy!

P.S. My picky 2 year old enjoyed this as well. In fact, after tasting it he put his milk down and finished his steak before taking another drink. If you knew my milk hog you'd know that was HUGE.
