Tutorial part two.the pizza version

Usually when I make the sandwiches below I make one of these mini pizzas, cook it up and take it for lunch the next day.

Start with a Boboli crust


Add some of this spaghetti sauce (I like spaghetti sauce better then pizza sauce it taste fresher)


Throw on some cheese


Then some tomatoes


Lots of fresh basil


Place in preheated oven


When it melts down like this


Switch to broil to cook the cheese more for about a minute


Tada delicious pizza that makes a great quick lunch the next day!

Eggstra Eggstra

After writing about my hatred for most egg things down below, I thought I would give you guys some of my favorite recipes from before I started hating eggs. Oh yeah, and I was little so these are going to be weird!

  1. Eggs and bologna. Mmmm! Take one to two slices of bologna slice into pieces and fry up in a pan. Add beaten eggs with milk, salt and pepper and fry up. Mmmmm enjoy the bologna goodness..(Jen I know you are barfing somewhere).
  2. Quick scrambled eggs with cheese. I am a firm believer that a cook needs to be able to COOK anywhere. My mom and I created this recipe when I was younger. Scramble two eggs in microwave safe bowl. Tear two slices of plastic cheese (this is what I refer to Kraft singles as) and place pieces in egg. Nuke (technical kitchen term for microwave) for one minute. Remove, stir check doneness. Nuke for 30 seconds at a time after this till eggs are all cooked. They will kind of puff up during the cooking process and then deflate a little afterwards! Mmmmm they are delish. Interestingly enough this is how Port of Subs now make their eggs for their breakfast sandwiches.
  3. Fry up an egg, top with pepperjack cheese and melt then top with salsa..mmmmmmm
  4. This one is my favorite, it’s messy and it’s nuts! K sooo you fry up an egg. Then you put it between two slices of sour dough bread, you can even use two eggs depending on bread size..Slather both slices of bread with mayo and top eggs with cheese I prefer a white cheese but you can use chedder. Melt some butter in a pan and put the sandwhich in the pan and fry it up so its all toasted. Add mayo to the top of the sandwhich, some ham or bacon and top with more cheese, put in the oven under the broiler until it melts…yes you will need a fork for this bad boy! This is an untraditional version of a croque madam. The traditional version, you put the meat inside the bread like a grilled cheese, top it with the egg and second cheese layer and then pour a bechamel sauce or something on it! I like my version better, mainly because I’m to lazy to make the sauce!
  5. Egg salad served on toasted bread is a current favorite.
  6. I also like to make deviled eggs but add parmasan and bacon (to half) of the filling before putting it back in the egg!

Beans are out

So Brandon and I are sitting here eating some lunch. He is of course eating roni and cheese with bud der! I was eating this tastey little Green Giant steamer meal. It came with sugar snap peas, edamame, carrots and black beans all in a light butter sauce. Anyway we are eating and I offer him some carrot. He says “No orange, roni cheese.” Okay so I eat a little longer and I offer him a green (edamame) and I get no again. Then he looks right at my plate sticks his finger up to my black beans and declares loudly POO POO? I nearly died because I realized that to him those must really look like poo poo. Sooo I’m guessing it is safe to say we won’t be eating beans any time soon!
