Grilled Hawaiian-Style Pizza

Table
One of my favorite ways to make pizza is on the grill.  Yes, we grilled again tonight!  It is summer, after all...  I can buy pre-made pizza dough at a couple of my regular grocery stores.  Trader Joe's even regularly stocks a whole wheat version, so that's what we started with tonight.  I follow the basic directions from Allrecipes.com found here.  It's really quite fast and easy - the hardest part is stretching and managing the dough before it goes on the grill, but I've found if I put the stretched dough on some cornmeal, it really helps avoid some disasters.

Instead of sauce, I used canned diced tomatoes.  And for toppings tonight, I made a sort of Hawaiian pizza with ham and pineapple.  I also added some green peppers for extra veggies.

The picture above already has the pizza cut up and ready to go.  We've been bringing these quick, homemade pizzas to the Concerts on the Common.  If there was one thing I could change for the "table" version, it would be to figure out a way to cook the toppings a little more - it cooks so fast on the grill that the toppings don't have much of a chance to get all crispy.

Tube
I was totally excited to make a blenderized version of this recipe for my little guy's g-tube.  When Morty was eating easily by mouth, pizza was one of his favorite meals.  Yes, I fed my little guy pizza.

I saved about 1/3 of the dough for the blend, spread it out, and basically just cooked it on the grill with the other pizzas.

The test for this blend is how well the mozzarella cheese would blend.  I'm keeping the volume to 2 tablespoons to see how it goes...  I'm worried it will be soft when I blend it up, but then it will get solid and thicken everything up in the fridge.  I don't mind pushing a thick blend through a syringe, but the potential for blow-outs is higher.

Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon

Table:
We bought some fresh salmon at the farmer's market this past weekend, and decided to do a grilled version of this Real Simple recipe.  We also bought some bok choy, so we grilled and used that in place of the vegetables in the recipe.

Tube:
This is a pretty low calorie meal (the bok choy is practically water!), so for the g-tube blended diet, I added broccoli.  I also added pineapple to keep a sort of Asian stir fry feel to the mix.  And of course, I used the honey just as in the glaze.  (My son is 2 1/2  - babies under the age of 12 months should not have honey).  To keep a thinner consistency, I kept my rice to 1/2 cup and used a slice of bread.
