Fruit pizza ready to eat :)
I fixed the fruit pizza crust earlier in the day and got it in the fridge.  We cooked the crust while we were fixing dinner and that worked good, since we weren't using the oven for anything else at the time.  We followed the recipe for the veggie sandwich and doubled the recipe for the everything except for the lemon-garlic mayo.  We just used a big flat grill pan on the stove top for grilling our veggies. We cut up the focaccia bread into servings and grilled them for the people that wanted their bread grilled.  We let everyone assemble their own sandwiches as not everyone wanted the mayo and cheese on theirs.  We used tomatoes instead of the red peppers and for the cheese we went with the mozzarella slices.  Everyone really liked the sandwich and it did help for the guys that we added bacon slices to their sandwiches ;)  We probably won't make the lemon-garlic mayo the next time as we were happy with our usual sauces for sandwiches.  Once again, this book has been big with the use of lemon ;)  Just reading the recipe again, I see that we forgot the basil leaves once again in a recipe ;(
The fruit pizza was fun to make.  We assembled it after our dinner.  Ashley had made the creamy topping earlier, so it was easy to get it pulled together.  Dana melted up the semi-sweet chocolate chips after assembling the pizza.  As you can see we used kiwi, blueberries, strawberries and orange slices. We just used half of the dough for our crust as I only had a 12" pan and that was plenty of dough for the pan.   Only us women tried the pizza and we thought it was great!  The men missed out by not trying it :)
All in all these are both recipes that we will definitely fix again :)
