What's For Dinner? Pizza Planet!

It's really hard to come up with ideas to make for dinner, and yes, I admit, I ask my 4 year old sometimes. Well L told me that we should have Pizza Planet! (The pizza restaurant in Toy Story.) So I asked, "Well, what does that mean? You want to eat a pizza that looks like a planet?" To which he replied, "Pluto!"

We've been reading lots of books about the solar system lately including one called, "Why Isn't Pluto A Planet?". So of course Pluto is his favorite planet, to which he will sometimes amend, dwarf planet.

This idea snowballed in to the idea that we should make the solar system in pizza. We each drew a picture of the solar system and decided what toppings each planet would have.

And to answer your question, yes, I cook all my meals with a pirate and Robin Hood!

Mercury: cheese on the bottom sauce on top
Venus: meatball pizza
Earth: Blue Cheese and Basil
Mars: Pepperoni Pizza
Jupiter: Cheese pizza with a colby jack hurricane
Saturn: Cheese pizza with a pepperoni ring
Uranus: Pesto Pizza with a Parmesan ring
Neptune: Blueberry dessert Pizza
Pluto: (dwarf Planet) Meatball pizza
