My girls love helping in the kitchen. Unfortunately, not every recipe is conducive to their particular brand of “help.” Sometimes the help is more of a hindrance, sure, but it’s always an adventure. But my thrift store find, the Fix-It and Forget-It Kids’ Cookbook, makes the adventures simple and slightly less messy. I adapted the Super […]
Kid-Constructed Funny Face Mini Pizzas Recipe
We found this crazy book at a garage sale a couple of years ago, called The Outrageously Big Activity, Play and Project Book. It’s a British import so there are a lot of craft and recipe ideas that I haven’t come across in American books. The kids love the book and ask to make something out […]
Mini Frozen Pizzas Recipe
My new beautiful Whole Wheat Pizza Dough, combined with my super cool USA Pan bun pan from King Arthur Flour conspired to create these beauties: Mini Frozen Pizza Crusts. And, while I thought I was brilliant to come up with the way to serve perfect servings of sauce in an ice cube tray. Apparently other people have […]
Homemade Whole Wheat Garlic Cheese Sticks Recipe and Superbowl Snacks Round-Up
I used to be a bit of a Papa John’s Cheese Sticks junkie. And the garlic butter sauce? Uh, yum! But, once I started eating more whole foods and cooking most of our food at home, we didn’t order cheese sticks or pizza much. One day last year, we were congratulating ourselves for a big […]
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Recipe
We’ve been making pizza dough at home for quite a while now, but once we changed to home-ground whole wheat white flour our recipe just hasn’t worked out quite as well. This bread machine pizza dough worked out pretty well. But, I got this Pizza: Award-Winning Pies for the Home Kitchen cookbook the other day and […]
Quick and Delicious Marinara Sauce
I made this absolutely delicious caramelized onion-based marinara sauce somewhat by accident. I usually have a ton of Slow Cooker Marinara on-hand either on the canning shelf or in the freezer. But somehow I depleted my stock over the holidays without realizing it. And I had all the ingredients for lasagna out and ready to […]
Quick Spinach Pesto Recipe: This Week’s Cravings
My absolute favorite pasta sauce. And it is so great to be able to pop out a cube of sauce for a serving of pasta. Delicious!
Eggplant Parmesan Pizza Recipe #vegetarian #wholefood
Simply slice the eggplant (lengthwise) as thin as you can and coat in olive oil and kosher salt. Then roast it in the oven until it’s golden (about 30-45 minutes). Then you create your pizza as usual.
Simple Sneaky Cheese Pizzas Recipe for Kids #vegan #wholefood
Honestly, my favorite pizza is cheese pizza. I know, it’s very vanilla of me (also my favorite ice cream flavor…real VANILLA flavor, not the “plain” ice cream). But I sometimes just don’t want my pizza adulterated by toppings. Great crust. Great sauce. Great cheese.
Pizza! Pizza! Lunch Box Pizza Crusts: Easy Bread Machine Vegan Pizza Dough #wholefood #vegan
It’s pizza day! Hooray! I’ve made some fabulous homemade pizza dough over the years. But when I recently acquired a bread machine, I really wanted to try bread machine dough recipes. Plus, I wanted a good-tasting whole wheat crust. The other recipe I use just didn’t taste quite right with all whole wheat white flour.
