Monday night ... Pizza night ... at the DOUGLASS'

SO ... it is 9:30 ... I am watching LOST (Which I am only watching cause it is the last season & I need to finally find out why the heck they are on that island!) & I just couldn't let you guys down. Now that I am back, I am back ... and need to make sure I fulfill all my promises. SO here is the Pizza recipe I promised.

Homemade Pizza

I got this recipe years ago at a cooking class I took at Thanksgiving Point, (that was back in the day when the classes were $10 per class, not $50)

They taught us that most grocery store bakery's will sell French bread dough to you for the same price as regular french bread. It can be used for LOTS of things ... scones is one idea, and my favorite ... crust for pizza. Walmart is not the easiest to get the dough at because for some reason they have to grab a manager every time you ask, but it is still possible.

You take the dough home, unthaw it if needed, and roll it out.
Simply take your favorite pizza sauce (Contadina is my favorite) and spread half of can over pizza.(freeze other half of sauce)
Get a package of mozzarella cheese (2 cups) and spread over sauce
1 Package of Hormel Canadian Bacon (entire package) on top of mozzarella cheese.
Tidbit Pineapple
Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese. (I like Tillamook because it isn't as greasy as other cheeses.

Bake at 350 20-30 minutes.

One great idea that my sister does at Valentines day is forms small pizza crusts into hearts and lets the kids make their own with whatever toppings they would like. I think it is a fantastic idea ... however Bryson and Chad don't get fun things like that yet, so I will have to wait a few years :)

I promise you will love it! It is Adam's Favorite.

What's for dinner

Well ... if you're like me, Monday rolls around and I don't have ANY idea what to make for dinner. I thought it would be fun to share with you some fun food ideas that I tend to cook over and over again. So, here is my list of what I am making this week. I will take a picture tonight and pass along the recipe tomorrow. Doesn't that sound like fun?

SO...

Monday - Home made pizza
Tuesday - Chicken Tacos
Wednesday - Fettuccine Alfredo w/ Chicken
Thursday - Baked Potato Soup

I usually don't plan Friday's or the weekend, because every time I do, we end up going out and I feel my efforts are waisted. SO we decide on Friday what we are doing for the weekend.

OH and if you have any great ideas you want to share, I wouldn't mind the help for next week's menu!

SO not only is this some fun info about food ... but I got word about a fun thing that CK is doing. They are doing what is called the SCRAPPERS BOWL in honor of the week before the Super Bowl. (personally, it sounds like more fun that watching the game!) It was some seriously awesome creative thinking on their part of coming up with some fun scrapbooking activities. Hope you feel the same. If I can find some time, I hope to join in.

Have a good one.
