I need to be reintroduced to my fall wardrobe.
It is amazing how quickly things go from bare legs to tights, but in my brain that was an eternity ago.
I’ve been struggling with what to wear to the point that I’ve even been donning a coat from my pregnant days.
Even though I swear it doesn’t look maternity as long as it’s not zipped. I know I need to find new outerwear.
In my limited online shopping, I haven’t come across a replacement for THE coat yet.
That doesn’t mean I am avoiding the great outdoors.
Over the weekend I threw on my trusty jacket before I headed out to the grill armed with a flashlight.
This was all in an effort to keep my grilling game going strong despite the shorter days.
I made a caramelized onion and apple grilled pizza with blue cheese and walnuts.
A little bit salty and sweet, each slice had the smoky grilled flavor of summer along with the comfort of autumn.
This year I am inspired to bundle up to grill more often. Of course, check back with me in February. I have my limits!
First, I made the dough–the expected combination of flour, salt, water, yeast, olive oil and just a little sugar to help activate the yeast.
While it rose, I had plenty of time to prep the onions.
To caramelize the red onions, I slowly cooked them in olive oil and butter until they turned deep brown.
Anytime I thought the onions were darkening too fast, I added a little water to the pan.
With the onions ready and the dough doubled in volume, I preheated the grill.
I rolled out the dough and grilled it on both sides.
Then I topped the pizza with the onions, thinly sliced apples, sliced scallions, chopped walnuts and blue cheese.
Finally, I put the pizza back on the grill for a couple minutes to let the cheese melt.
