Pizza Night

It’s Friday.  Many of the moms I know do take-out on Fridays.  I do too, but it’s not quite the same as it used to be.  If I order a pizza for the rest of the family.  I have to coordinate making a homemade pizza for my celiac daughter.  This is sometimes easy, as it was tonight.  After placing the order to have it delivered, I preheated the oven, and made pizza using Kinnikinnick frozen pizza crusts.  The whole process takes about 30 minutes. The gluten free pizza was ready just a couple of minutes before the gluten pizza was delivered – perfectly timed!

But it is not always so simple.  A few weeks ago, I had to pick up my kids from gymnastics, then pick up the pizza, go home and make the gluten free pizza, all while my celiac child whined about being hungry.  And there is always the decision – do I let my non-celiac child eat the pizza before the gluten free pizza is ready?  If I don’t I’ll have 2 kids whining.  Either way, I’m screwed.

Tip: Pizza night works best if you’re home to make a gluten free version while waiting for the gluten one to be delivered.
