**** Masterchef pizza night (Hawaiian garlic twist, Cheese puff, Mushroom head, and Chicken a la king)

 F.H.E. the other night it was game on.  Our favorite show right now to watch as a family is Masterchef on fox.  It is fun because the kids all have a favorite chef and we love to watch them cook and compete.  The girls use the play kitchen and food all the time to play Masterchef and kitchen.  Each kid got their own pizza crust, sauce and cheese.  Mom and dad teamed up together.  Then everyone was given a "pantry" of toppings to choose from to make their creations.
 They were given twenty minutes to create their own delicious pizza and give it a name.  Deke and I were cracking up how into it they were getting.
 They each made their own choices on how to top it with minimal help from mom and dad.  They all started giggling when we called "time up, hands in the air" just like the show.
 After each pizza came out of the oven everyone was given a small piece to taste.  Hunter named his Hawaiian garlic twist since he had taken garlic salt and seasoned his crust all the way around quite plentifully :) :)  Avery's was called Cheese puff and it sort of was.  She had used great toppings of pepperoni, olives, and artichokes but then her cheese instead of being spread out had been place in large piles so when you ate it you all of a sudden bit into a mount of cheese.  Emma used canadian bacon and pineapple and then mushrooms and mushrooms and cheese and then a couple more mushrooms.  "Mines is called Mushroom head" she proudly told us.  Seemed fitting.  Mom and Dad did a chicken pizza with mushrooms and artichokes and spinach.
 After each pizza had been sampled we sat down and had dinner.  As we asked the kids what they wanted it was cute to hear them each ask for "a piece of Cheese puff" or "one slice of Mushroom head please."  Then as they ate they talked about their favorite parts of different ones.  After we were all happily full we took a jar and put it in the living room and one at a time each person went in to cast their vote.  Then we all gathered in the living room and dad pulled out each paper and read the votes.  The kids were so anxious to know and dad announced "the winner is.....MUSHROOM HEAD!!!!"  I almost died when Emma shot up from the ground jumping up and down, pumping her fists in the air shouting "Yes I did it!! I'm the winner, I am the masterchef!!!"  It was hilarious, her pizza seriously was the tastiest.  She was so proud for the rest of the night as everyone talked about her winning and that she was a real masterchef.  Way to go Miss E, guess all that play food practice really paid off :) :) :)
