    Yes! If this beautiful weather continues I may swear off my oven!

    Riane, Holly and myself pizza-planned tonight, graciously welcoming the start of grill season. What was on the menu tonight? Check out this biddy…


    Grilled pizza is one of my favorite summer dinners…It’s so easy and delicious! Trader Joe’s makes great pre-made pizza dough. It’s super cheap and works really well on the grill. We typically pool our resources to maximize on yummy toppings. Tonight’s scrounging of the fridges provided us with mushrooms, artichokes, tomatoes, fresh basil, mozz and a reserve can of fire roasted tomatoes for the sauce. Add a veggie pouch you’ve got yourself a mighty fine dinner.

    Once your dough is all rolled out you should brush a s-ton of olive oil on one side-this should keep it from sticking. Just place the dough on the grill (oil side down!) and cook for 5 min or so. Lift a spatula under to check for those nice grill lines…When it’s done, oil up the other side and flip! Add your sauce and toppings and cook until cheese is melted or the crust is at the preferred crustiness.

    Quick pic before we dig in!

    The weatherman promises blue skies and 90 degrees tomorrow. Riane and I will be heading back to our beach hot spot-who knows what sorts of goodies we’ll be packing in our cooler! :)

    About Mo

    The Story of Mo

    Told by Holly

    Maureen (Mo) Sullivan is one of the three crows holding down the Jamaica Plain Nest. Originally from New Jersey, she is the first person to introduce the words “yuengling” and “taylor ham” into my vocabulary. Although she still enjoys these nostalgic tastes, her culinary palette goes far beyond these items. Mo is always ready to take on the challenge of a new dish, but is equally happy reinventing the classics. When it comes to beverages, Three Philosophers, Stone, La Chouffe or any other finely crafted brew will stop this crow mid flight. Her Kitchen philosophy is simple: no meal should be created without the accompaniment of great tunes and that the best dinner parties should end with dancing.

    Living in a house filled with wonderful yet hungry roommates Mo has become a master at feeding the masses with home cooked meals. Some notable dishes include Vegetarian Chili, Vodka Sauce w/ Linguine, Baked Mac and Cheese, and who can forget all of the Pizza Plans! Mo also happens to be a member of the Crow Bake team, alongside Emily and Riane and has perfected the art of making cheesecakes. She never lets a friend’s birthday pass without whipping up a tasty treat; in return we jokingly refer to her as “Mama” Mo. It is her strong ties to family and friends as well as her inclusive nature that helps to keep us crows such a tight knit group.
