I promised my Bees that I would ‘Tell the World’ about one of our Family Traditions.About 10 years ago (maybe longer) we had a family discussion about creating ‘family traditions’ and asked our young bees for some ideas. Well a couple of the bees (now grown) decided that it would be nice to have a day devoted to ‘Pizza’. They asked ‘could we.  have pizza for breakfast, pizza for lunch, pizza for dinner and of course pizza for dessert’.

 Well we decided we would ‘try it’ for a day. Labor Day was coming up in a few weeks (I needed some time to get it all figured out as well as purchase the supplies) and it was a holiday that everyone (including Dad) would have off.

 I decided to make a ‘biscuit pizza’ for breakfast complete with biscuit crust, scrambled eggs, onions, peppers, sausage, and plenty of cheese. (Last year I also made an extra side ‘sweet dough’ pizza with a honey butter drizzled topping which was good).

 I think that first year we had something like pizza hot pockets for lunch, I don’t remember for certain. Maybe it was those little pizza roll things that look like egg rolls. I usually keep some of those on hand that day in case someone gets hungry before dinner time…lol.

 For Dinner we have traditional pizza with all of the ‘traditional’ toppings. We must always include one that has ham and pineapple (not sure how traditional but I know some people like it).  And this year we will add another with chicken, spinach (mushroom soup is used as the sauce)

 For Dessert we make a cookie pizza or brownie pizza on a pizza pan with candy toppings and drizzled frosting as the cheese.

 Now as it has turned out we have celebrated it every year since and it is looked forward to by all. We never know how many will be here as some years the kids have asked to invite friends (last year we had 13). So in honor of Labor Day they definitely put this Mother Bee to Work in the Kitchen making pizzas all day long it seems like. But now we usually end up with just 2 meals that day as by the time I finish the breakfast pizzas it is more of a brunch. And I have learned that the more ‘chopping’ and ‘pre-prep’ I can do ahead of time really makes things go a little smoother on that day.

 As for the future, we will continue the tradition (we can’t stop now, we’re on a roll…or should I say ‘pizza crust’), but they have been forwarned that as they marry and multiply, I will expect each family to pitch in and bring a pizza or two to save me some of the responsibility.

  Disclaimer: Do NOT allow anyone in your family to read this that are ‘true pizza lovers’ or you may end up starting your own ‘Pizza Day’ Tradition….say “Cheese”….LOL.

 Buzzing Off (stretching the dough behind me*smile*)…..Sincerely, Mistress Bee
