Build Your Pizza Bar for a Fun Family Meal

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday! I genuinely hope you’re having a beautiful one. I am finally back home and trying to get back into my routine and be as normal as possible. As some of you may know, we lost my stepdad ( like a father to me and the only Papa our boys knew) on January 3rd. I’ve been with my mom in Las Vegas since then, and on top of that, we decided it was best to get her packed up and ready to move to Utah to be close to Family and not by herself in Las Vegas by the end of the month. 

That put a lot on my plate, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Talk about a lot at once and so much change for my mom. The loss of her true love, downsizing, retiring from doing hair, and a big move to Utah all in a matter of weeks. My mom is with my sister in California for a few days ( I took her there and spent a few days with the Family). That was a nice little break from all the packing, cleaning, and sorting. 

My Family will head to Las Vegas to meet my Brother, sister, and nephews. Then, we will finish packing up Mom and head back to Utah. Meanwhile, I need to look for a house and storage unit for her. She’ll stay with us until we find something. Please keep us in your prayers.

Build Your Pizza Bar

On pizza night, we used some leftovers and homemade ingredients.

Use up those leftovers and create a Pizza night your Family will love. They can make their own and get creative to try new things. So, if you plan your meals for the week and have a pasta night a few nights before, it works out great. Because I like to space out Italian food a couple of days apart, this helps to use up those little bits of leftovers you may have had.

What you need to build a pizza bar:

Rhodes rolls

Homemade Alfredo sauce recipe here

Homemade marinara or your favorite Jar

Asparagus (leftovers)

Sautés Mushrooms (leftovers)

Fresh Tomatoes

Ham ( leftover Easter) That I had thrown in the freezer

Sausage 

Pepperoni (variety)

Prosciutto

Fresh sliced tomatoes

Mozzarella, Asiago, Romano, Parmesan cheese (leftover from this week’s Fettuccine night)

Chopped Garlic

Fresh Rosemary

Fresh Basil

Spinach

Green onions

Olives

Italian seasonings

Garlic powder

Onion salt

Sea Salt

Balsamic glaze or vinegar

Olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 unless you have a pizza oven. We cook the pizzas for 10 or 12 minutes, depending on the range! It also depends on how crispy you like your pizza.

Tip using Rhodes Rolls to make the mini Pizzas.

These make individual mini pizzas. Ensure you do enough rolls per person; I did 2-3 per person. (for the rolls, follow the directions on the bag) Then, after they’ve risen all day, each person flattens and pulls theirs out to shape and top with desired toppings. Some family members made little calzone instead of a mini pizza.

Building the Pizza Bar

Part of Building Your Own Pizza Bar’s fun is getting creative and trying different things on your pizza. My Family loves this interactive meal; it’s fun to hear them chat, joke, and talk their way through creating their pizzas.

Who Say’s Halloween has to be Orange and black? Who Say’s Halloween has to be Orange and black? 

Why can’t be PRETTY?

🌸🕷️✨🍃🖤👑🦋🍂🌙🔱🔮

✨Glamour Girl✨ Halloween Dinner

You get inspiration from everything & everywhere….

I found mine for this table from  these “Versace”
Vibe plates I found at homegoods🖤✨🌸🕷️🔱🦋

I knew I wanted to create a Glamor feeling Halloween Tablescape.

Incorporating @hotskwash Shades of green handmade velvet pumpkins with real stems, they added just the right richness.
 
Using Vintage silver Teapots and coffee pots as vases, brings in that elegance of times past.

I choose fresh flowers in rich shades of pinks, and oranges, to pull out the color in the plates.

Black velvet ribbon, candle sticks and silverware, add the depth, elegance, yet a chic Halloween darkness.

Finishing touches of Gold accents, plate chargers and glasses.

With a little added webbing, a few scattered black spiders and gold butterflies, add just enough, “spook “

Who’s coming to dinner?

I’ll be serving my Spiced Cider cocktails 🍏🍸
