In mid-January, Molly and her mom made a snowy trek to Moorhead, Minnesota to visit Molly's sister and her family. Molly's nephew, eight year old Victor, was pleased to know that Molly was doing more cooking in her apartment. He also knew she loves pizza, so he shared his simple pizza recipe with her. This is a quick and easy dinner for anyone to make with minimal adult assistance. (The oven.)
I, too, gave the pizza an A+ out of 10. I'm still thinking about how to rate the bread salad. If you don't have time for the whole seven minute video, or can't wait to see this, here is a link to a video collage of the experience: Pizza and Bread Salad Video Collage.
And, here's the recipes:
