Pizza Back

We often make pizza at home, though I have used prepared dough for a while. I might just have to start using my own dough. The commercial ones never seem to stretch right or they are sticky, or thin, or some other reason I don’t really like them. What is your preferred method for making pizza? I’m not above a frozen one, either. :-) This pizza appears to be a cheese pizza and I’m not certain about the flavor. No oregano or other Italian seasonings are used, and I think I would change that, add some garlic, and probably pepperoni. That’s my choice, of course. Continue reading →

BBQ - Sauce

Have you ever made your own barbecue sauce? My mother used to make one called Black Knight sauce. It was deep, rich and spicy. I also remember one that included coffee in it.

Particularly where I live, the yards are not quite big enough to grow much, and the prevalence of swimming pools precludes a kitchen garden many times. Hopefully where you live, you are able to enjoy a thriving garden full of fresh produce! Continue reading →

“zucchini” and “pancakes” are two words I would not normally put together

Zucchini Pancakes Back

A savory pancake but where’s the cooking instructions?

Zucchini and pancakes are not two words that work together in my mind, and the concept of a sweet, syrupy mass of shredded zucchini is just not very appealing to me. Luckily, these zucchini pancakes appear to be of the savory variety, more like a latke or other veggie cake. Continue reading →

Green Tomato Relish Back

Here’s how you mix it

I haven’t tried green tomatoes in any form, mostly because I don’t like tomatoes to start with. Weirdly, I like catsup, salsa, spaghetti sauce, etc., just not fresh, raw tomatoes. This is also another recipe using mangoes. I wonder if the lady who wrote these had a mango tree. Continue reading →
