Why are you frugal?

Frugality has always been in my life. I spent my summers as a child with my grandma in a very very small town about 150 miles away from where I lived the rest of the year. My grandpa is/was a farmer, had cows, and a diesel mechanic. My grandma was a farmer’s wife. I learned how to garden, sew, cook, move pipe, change oil, and learned how to drive on a tractor. At home during the school year none of these tasks were put to use. We lived in a suburb of a city with nearly 50,000 people, we didn’t have a garden, we had a dishwasher, etc. So at the end of the school year I was ecstatic to get to go my grandma’s house! I loved being there; I loved the fruits of my labor there. I felt as though I had a purpose. Fast forward to 5 years ago.

Grilled Pizza

I can not even begin to tell you how excited I was to make this. Chevy Man thought I was losing it, ok maybe I was. I made the dough from scratch (recipe below) and then we grilled PIZZA! Homemade dough- 1 1/2 cups warm water 2 1/4 tsp yeast or a package 3 1/2 cups flour 2 tbsp oil 2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar dissolve yeast in warm water. combine dry, then add wet. let rise 1 1/2 hours. punch down and let rise 30 more minutes. I divided into 2 pizzas about 12 inches pizza. This will depend on how thick you want it. They were definitely not round, but hey that makes them rustic right? haha. I then oiled each side of the dough. Put tin foil on the grill, and oiled it. Put the dough on, flipping about every 3 or 4 minutes until done. Then I put all the toppings on the pizza, closed the grill lid and let the cheese melt. super yummy! I can't wait to make it again later this week!
