A few weeks back while sitting around the dinner table with my children and a few of their friends I asked the question ” What is your favorite meal?”  One of the boys quickly responded with Spaghetti.  Now that was one smart boy being that he was in the middle of eating the Spaghetti dinner I had just served him.  His mother must have taught him to be thankful for the meal set in front of him.  I responded to him with “then what is your second favorite meal?”  his response was Pizza , my moms homemade pizza. I have never made a real homemade pizza, I have used pre-made crusts, English muffins etc. but never one from scratch so this got me thinking that I needed his moms what I would now call famous Pizza recipe so I can begin a new tradition of homemade pizza in our home as well and hope to get my kids to say their favorite meal was their moms homemade pizza not the delivery mans pizza.
