Tasty Tuesday: Sicilian Pizza review

When I was a little girl, I LOVED pizza! I still do actually. But being mostly low-carb, I've not found that I like many of the low carb options and even worse, the normal high carb options no longer taste good! There should be a law against such things!! Anyway, as a little girl we would either go to Pizza Hut and get a deep dish pizza or on a rare occasion, we would make a deep dish at home using a Bisquick dough (Bisquick was always in our home). So, enter the Sicilian Pizza with Pepperoni and Spicy Tomato Sauce and I am in heaven! No, it's not low carb, yes it is delicious! Worth every single bite.

Okay, but in true HoHa disclaimer* fashion, the day we made it most recently almost became the day of three dinners. Joel started making the dough.

Seriously, it's just five ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and water. NOTHING to be afraid of. In the mixing bowl everything went. They get mixed up until it pulls away from the sides but sticks to the bottom.
 

That's when things got a little "oh man!" Even though we have made this recipe several times, when we looked again, we realised that it has to rest for 12 to 24 hours after this point. Thus ends the making of dinner one which wouldn't be eaten until the next day. It had to rest, I guess all that spinning in the mixer wore it out.


Enter day two. I just love sticking my finger in a risen bowl of dough. Cannot help myself.


Yes, that's a quarter cup of olive oil, do it! Oil is your friend!! We put the dough in and stretched it out. Let it rest, while I made the spicy tomato sauce.


In case you were wondering, that's what nine cloves of garlic look like all chopped up. OMNOMNOM! I love the smell of garlic! 


This is where this pizza gets a little crazy, it goes olive oil, dough, cheese, sauce, pepperoni. BUT...


then it goes full on omonomariffic at the table. This recipe gets a 15 out of 10. It's great to eat straing out the oven, cold or reheated day after, even two days after (if it lasts that long). Go and make it yourself, tell me how you like it!

Special thanks to Joel for letting me harass him with my camera phone while he was making this.



*HoHa disclaimer-I practice Hands-on Home arts (HoHa for short). I'm not here to make you think our life is perfect, but to show you that life can be fun. So this day, we put the dough aside for the next day and I decided to make split pea soup with ham for dinner that night. Even though I have the WORST luck with dried beans and it turned out that it was a crockpot recipe, we went ahead with it. At dinner time, the peas were just barely crunchy any more and we were saved from having to make a THIRD dinner in the same day. If you follow me on instagram, this was the biscuit day. I had to make something that was going to be delicious and edible in the same day!

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and ...

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

  If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj...

Tasty Tuesday: Loaded Baked Potato Soup

  I've had loaded baked potato soup on the menu most of the month of November, not really knowing when I was going to make it. Last night was the night. I started with this recipe from Betty Crocker as an idea but as I saw that it served 15 and looked at the various quantities while I cooked, some things changed, and wanted to share the final recipe here so you can enjoy it and I won't forget it.  Loaded Baked Potato Soup serves 3 with seconds and a serving left over 1/2 package of bacon 1 small onion chopped 3 cups chicken broth (I use Better Than Boullion) 2 large baking potatoes, peeled, cubed 2 tbsp butter 2 heaping tbsp all-purpose flour 2 cups milk divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2teaspoon freshly ground pepper A generous helping of sour cream 4 oz sharp Cheddar cheese shredded (half a block) separated 2 sliced green onions separated In skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes or until crisp; drain on paper towels.
