Garlic pizza crust
This is the best ..one of the few
recipes that is MINE..lol. This started off as a mistake, turning
back and forth in a cook book...lol We make this every friday night and
have pizza and movies in the living room..
2 pkg. yeast (I use 2 Tblsp. of bulk yeast)
2 c tempid water (90*)
2 Tblsp. sugar
1/2 c oil
1 tsp. salt
5 1/2 - 6 cups flour
3 cloves crushed garlic
Dissolve yeast in water and add sugar.. wait a few minutes.. add oil and salt and garlic .. mix in 3 cups flour and whip about 10 min till it leaves the side of the mixer bowl.. add remaining flour w/ dough hook or by hand.. knead till smooth.. allow to rise twice in the bowl.. punch down.. (I rush this a bit) oil baking sheets ..use fingers press out to edges..
Makes 2 pizzas, cookie sheet size, let rise a bit and top.. bake at 425* 20 min.. this is fantastic.. crust smells slightly like garlic bread.. but is not strong.. We usually make one cheese and the other with gr. beef, ham, onion and mushroom. even the kids say it is the best crust so far.
This makes 2 cookie sheet sized or 12 after school snack size...I form them in the bottom of a cheapo pie pan, top and bake completely and put them in zip bags.
Recently my Megan accidentally left the freezer
door open. It was a hot day and I noticed it as water was dripping!!
AAARGH!! Well it was not as bad as it could have been if I had noticed
it later... mostly the veggies on the door and a few items on the top shelf..
I started to throw all the veggies out then realized... gee duh.. they
aren't spoiled just defrosted and mushy... OK what to do... it was mostly
broccoli and broccoli carrot cauliflower mixtures. Soooooo how about
a soup? Kinda like that yummy broccoli cheddar at McDonald's...
This is what I created and will definitely
make again!!
Broccoli Cheddar Veggie soup
15 cups apx. mixed veggie blends mostly broccoli,
carrot, cauliflower
10 cups of water
8 Tblsp. Chicken soup base
cook till very tender and cool...
For our family size, this bagged up 3 Ziploc with 4 cups soup base each
to finish the recipe:
for each 1 cup of base add:
1/2 cup milk
1 Tblsp. cornstarch stirred into about 1/4
cup chicken broth.. (can use water.. just needed something to mix it with
and the broth was handy)
stirred till thick and add:
shredded cheddar... to taste.. we like a
lot.. there was probably almost a cup LOL...
stir to melt cheese... serve
OH MAN... this is soooooo good... we poured this over rice to stretch it and it was FANTASTIC... and it would be great over baked potatoes too... Yummy... I actually had to share it with the kids!! LOL
you could also use it mixed into rice and baked as a yummy broccoli cheddar rice type side dish...
Well this is another one of those .. I don't have a recipe but I do this.. kind of recipe....
The absolute YUMMIEST thing to do with tuna is Tuna Cheddar Calzones.. take a pizza crust or Calzone dough roll it into thin rounds about 6" ... I think I cut a 1 pizza recipe in 6 pieces.. (I have not tried it with the garlic pizza dough yet but i bet it would be great) and mix your tuna with shredded cheddar cheese and 1 scoop of mayo just for moisture. mix it up good and put a "Plop" into the center of each dough round.. Fold over, seal the edges with a little egg glue and crimp with a fork. We baked these at 425* for about 15 -18 min.. until brown.. store in a Ziploc in freezer and just heat in the micro when you want a quick hand-held meal!!

My family eats this like madmen!! I

get enough for my family.. You can of course lighten this any way you like
