Pizza Dough Secrets (WFMW)
Last week, I shared my tip for using parchment paper to get your pizza in and out of the oven. Then, it occurred to me that I haven’t shared my secrets for making homemade pizza dough. What good is a trick for transporting your homemade pizza if you don’t have a great recipe for the pizza dough?
Never fear… The recipe is here.
Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting
Two years ago I decided to try something new. It was a few months after I had quit my full-time job as a database developer…
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes Au Gratin
This weekend, I finally got back into the kitchen… I’m not just talking about reheating soup and tossing salads (which is what I had been doing for most of last week). I did some serious cooking and baking!
It all started on Friday with a lack of inspiration for dinner. I had no idea what I wanted to make, and frankly, I didn’t really feel like cooking at all. I hadn’t really gotten back into the kitchen, and I was finding the whole transition somewhat difficult. Instead, I called our favorite restaurant to see if we could squeeze in a reservation, but they were booked for the night (no big surprise, but it was worth a try). I had to make dinner, and it was too late to go to the store for groceries, so I had to use what I had on hand – sweet potatoes.
Chocolate Cranberry Pumpernickel Scones
Last week (prior to my hand surgery) I did some baking while I still had the chance… I had taken a bit of a break over the holidays, and it was nice to get back in the kitchen!
I still had some of the pumpernickel flour I had ordered left in my pantry, so I decided to use it to make some scones. I really love the combination of chocolate and cranberries, so I went with that flavor combination. These scones are easy to make and taste fabulous topped with a smear of Nutella. They are best served right away, though, because I found that they dried out a bit after a day or two.
