I usually share tried-and-true recipes that I’ve made over and over. But I also love to try new recipes. I literally have hundreds of them pinned to various Pinterest boards. You might have a problem if you have to have 7 separate boards to keep up with all the food you want to one day make and eat….
Some friends recently introduced us to Grandma’s pizza from a local place called Cristo’s. It has a thin crust with crispy edges, and plops of super flavorful, garlicky-basil-ly sauce on top of the cheese. I didn’t know it was a real thing in NY until I came across this recipe from Ezra Pound Cake! We make pizza a couple times a month, so on Friday I gave homemade Grandma’s pizza a whirl. The crust was just like Cristo’s, and I loved that the dough went straight from the mixer bowl onto the pan, without getting my counters messy like the dough I usually make! I think next time, I’ll play around with the sauce – maybe try crushed tomatoes instead of diced, and try to up the flavor intensity a little. But we’ll definitely use this recipe as a launching pad for future Grandma’s pizzas!
What are you experimenting with in your kitchen? And I must know if you’ve ever experienced a Grandma’s pizza! Leave me a comment, they bring me great joy!

Um, so I just counted my Pinterest recipes boards and I have 30! So don't feel so bad about 7 :)
I love making new recipes and I love having a new blog to follow for new recipes (yours!). So far we have loved your Nana's potato soup and the crispy black bean tacos! Thanks, Bet!
Haha, Amy! Okay, you win! ;) To be honest, I could probably use some more board specificity to eliminate aimless scrolling....So glad you guys liked the soup and tacos!!
My Grandma made pizza every Friday for us growing up in NY. I might try this!
That's a good Grandma! Let me know if y'all give it a try! :o)
