April 10, 2012- Mexican Black Bean Pizza

Mexican Black Bean Pizza

Tonight we has a Mexican black bean pizza. It was really simple to make. You just purée some black beans, garlic, salsa and cumin and use that on top of the pizza dough and then sprinkle with cheese and bake. We buy the while wheat pizza dough from trader joes and we had some roasted red pepper salsa we made from our Easter get together so we used that. We topped it with lime and some sour cream and it was really yummy and simple to make!

December 27, 2011- Cheese Pizza and Mushroom and Cheese Pizza

Cheese Pizza and Mushroom and Cheese Pizza

Well tonight we are having two different kinds of pizza so we have lots of pizza left over. My mom really likes when we make this mushrooms and cheese pizza and we like to make it for her so we decided to have it tonight. Tonight we had a special helper in the kitchen, my brother, Acusio. It was fun watching him and Nick cook. I got a little but of a break (only had to grate parmesan). If you want the directions for the Cheese and Mushroom Pizza you can look at December 11, 2011. Hope everyone has a great night! It is good to be home :)

December 21, 2011- Leftovers

Leftovers

We were supposed to make Polenta with 2 Sauces but we had such a busy day that we got home late and we still had two pieces of pizza left from Patxis that we decided to just have some leftover pizza. Nick also received a gift from a student which was homemade bread and some homemade apricot jam. So we also had that. It was such a random dinner but it was good :)

December 17, 2011- Patxi's Mushroom and Cheese Pan Pizza

Patxi's Mushroom and Cheese Pan Pizza

We had a very busy day today working on Christmas presents and cookies. We decided to try the new pizza joint in Campbell. Patxi's is a Chicago style pizza place. We love cheese and mushroom pizza and we will try it out.



















We also decided to make cookies for St. Chris. We have a great cake mix cookie recipe that makes a ton of cookies. You make them with any variety of cake mix, add one cup of butter, 2 Ener-G egg replacer, and then 1.5 cups of any chip (chocolate, peanut butter, mint). Then they bake for about 13 minutes. One box make somewhere between 55 and 65 cookies, depending on how small you make them. In total we made 265 cookies today :)

December 11, 2011- Cheese and Mushroom Pizza

Cheese and Mushroom Pizza

This is a really yummy homemade pizza that we love to make. We buy a whole wheat pizza dough in the bag from Trader Joe's (the kind you have to roll out). They used to sell a pizza sauce on the shelves but have been out for a while. They have this other sauce in the refrigerator section and we have been using that. We then buy their shredded 2% mozzarella. We buy some white or cremini mushrooms. We always sautee the mushrooms in some olive oil and garlic for a little bit first. You bake the pizza crust for about 5 minutes first and then put everything on top and finishing baking it for about 6-7 minutes more and it is done! Yummyness! We already ate half the pizza...

This is a repeat of something we had a week or two ago. Nick had class tonight and it was something easy to make that he could take to class. If you want the information on it you can go to the blog post for November 21, 2011. No picture because I already posted one on November 21. Will have fresh food posted tomorrow! Yay!

Pizza on Flatbread

Tonight is a busy night and as a result we needed something quick and easy so this is a simple dinner. It is flatbread bought from Trader Joe's with some simple pizza sauce (also bought) and some cheese. You broil it for a few minutes and voila you have dinner!
