We love pizza, and in effort to make it a bit healthier, I thought we’d give whole wheat pizza a try. I love CPKs whole wheat crust, and while CPK reigns supreme, this whole wheat pizza dough from Cuisine Nie is tasty. The kiddos and I both love it, although -s much prefers his white […]
This Steve’s recipe. It was delicious, but super spicy. I’ve cut down the number of chiles used, but I would be overly cautious to start out with. All chiles vary in degree of heat, so there is a bit of trial and error.
Ingredients:
1/2 to 1 chile morita (smoked red jalapeno)
1 1/2 lb. roma tomatoes
2 garlic […]

Here’s a great dish to get into the Halloween spirit…delicious chili topped with festive Halloween shaped cheese slices. To accompany the chili, I made my cornbread recipe in a silicone baking pan–shapes were leaves and pumpkins. Everyone loved the cornbread too…-s even said he liked the cornbread better from the silicone pan. I’ve never used […]

This is the best homemade mac-n-cheese we’ve ever had! It is that good!!! I found the recipe at pimp my dinner, and everyone loved it. Since my kiddos love hot dogs with mac-n-cheese I cut up some hot dogs and threw them in at the end, but you can certainly leave them out.
Ingredients:
4 TBSP butter
4 […]
It seems as though I’m on a tofu kick lately. The “skillet dry fry” as I call it is my favorite way to prepare tofu. But tonight I baked it in the oven. Baking is definitely easier and far less time consuming, but I like the “skillet dry fry” method the best. Bottom line is […]
