Recipe Series, Part 2

This weeks recipe comes from TheFetchingHound

Pizza Dough!

3 cups flour (I sometimes do half wheat half white)
1 cup warm water
1 heaping tablespoon yeast or 1 packet if pre-measured
salt
2 tablespoon oil

I use my stand mixer and begin with the paddle and mix everything together. Then I switch to the dough hook and let it go a good 5 to 10 minutes.

Sometimes I add Italian seasoning right into the dough.

Spray 2 pizza pans or oil and cover dough right on them. 15 min to rise. Spread dough and cook in a 500 oven for ten minutes and then reduce heat to 350 and cook 10 minutes more

quick and easy!

Editors note: The alfredo sauce recipe from Part 1 works really well as a pizza sauce! Make it a little thicker, and top with chicken, garlic, parmesean, onion...yum!)

Chicken Alfredo


Cooked Pasta
Cooked Chicken, shredded or bite sized

Sauce:
1 block Cream Cheese
1 CUBE of Butter (can use less)
1/2 to 3/4 cup Milk (I use 3/4 for a thinner sauce. Use less for a pizza sauce)

Combine all ingredients, except Nutmeg, and heat until melted, stirring frequently.

Toss over Pasta and Chicken

Sprinkle Nutmeg over the entire dish! This is the “secret” ingredient that gives it a punch! Trust me, this is amazing!

Athyme2bcomforted


When we had our first FFF I had the pleasure of ordering from this talented young lady....I got my favorite snack, hummus. I usually make it myself but after trying hers, mine is a far cry from being that delicious. What made it so good wasn't just the flavors though. It had this amazingly smooth texture to it also.....so much so that my BF (who loathes hummus) even delighted in it's tastiness. So of course I had to try more. Oh God more. So I ordered the Green Chilie Tomatillo Sauce. I'm still in awe. First of all there was so much sauce that I had enough to make two batches of enchiladas (the family loved me that week) but these enchiladas were so good.....so awesomely great, that my soon to be mother in law (who hates spicy food) not only came back for seconds, but holy tomatillo I caught the woman licking her plate, and if that's not a compliment lol, I don't know what is!

Been Dabbling In the Kitchen Again




People laugh when I tell them that I come up with ideas when I am in the shower, true story.


My mind goes 24 hours a day; so much so that I should be a walking advertisement for Ambien LOL




Truth be told there has been many a day when I have put off the necessary laundry washing just to play in the kitchen.




I have so many ideas going through my head that when they hit I literally stop everything that I am doing,go to my journal and write it down; I have been known to pull over while driving to find a scrap piece of paper to write down my latest creation.






Then comes the fun part. I block off my kitchen,clean and sanitize it and start experimenting like a mad scientist:O) Not everything I've thought of works out.....but that's the best part. My kitchen is my playground. It is my favorite place to be and I love the fact that I am passing down my love for cooking and food down to my children. Each of them have their own favorite thing to cook and my oldest son even wants to go to culinary school....makes a mama proud!




This morning I whipped up something else and I hope you'll come by to check it out.


These are my peanut butter truffles. We couldn't agree if they should be peanut butter/peanut butter truffles or peanut butter/chocolate truffles, so I made both.


My personal favorite combination is the PB/PB....you can decide for yourself.

Sweet Treats by Maryann


Double Dipped Sweets

Well I have be partaking in my teams delicious items again.....hmmm I wonder if they are going to chip in for the weight loss plan I am going to have to get on...or maybe for my gym membership......

Well it has been a BUSY month for "partaking"..... my first indulgence was Double Dipped Sweets Sea Salted Caramel Apple.





This apple was delicious, it was the perfect balance of sweet, salty and tart. Her apples are HUGE...I think she may have some magic dust that she sprinkles on them to enlarge them...I know I have not seen apples that big here in AZ!! The apple was big enough for me to share (not willingly) with both of my kids. When you bite into the slice of apple you get the immediate crunch from the fresh crisp apple, then you taste the sweet Carmel and then your taste buds are assaulted by the salty goodness of the sea salt. The Carmel is also a perfect consistency, not to sticky....it won't glue your teeth together like some other apples!!

Well I also got some little presents in that package from DDS (as I call her in chat) she sent me a sample of her Ginger bread popcorn.




All I can say is that popcorn puts the kettle corn that you get at the fair to shame!! It was scrumptious!!! Crunchy and sweet and like taking a big bite of a gingerbread man!!


The other little gift I got was her Coconut Haystack Bark, omg it was soooooooooooooo good!! Just the right balance between chocolaty goodness and coconut. Your tongue is coated by the delicious chocolate and then there is a slight chewy crunch from the coconut.

Let's just say I had to fight off the kids from each one of my "gifts". Hmmm I think I should of locked myself in the bedroom, I will have to do that next time I buy from DDS!!

Give your family a treat from DDS you won't be disappointed!! I also suggest the following apples also......heheheh I told you it was a busy month of "partaking"!!!







Apple Pie Caramel Apple and Fall Delight Caramel Apple
