Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Hawaiian Pizza


I have always found pizza to be very difficult to make because of the crust. I discovered that Pillsbury makes a pizza crust that is very easy to use. You don't need to let it rise and it is not rubbery like normal dough. The key to getting it right, however, is making sure it has cooked long enough. This is a very easy recipe to make. Substitute any toppings you like.

Ingredients:

1 roll Pillsbury Pizza Dough
1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 pieces cooked bacon chopped into pieces
1/2 can diced pineapple

Directions:

Press dough into a round pizza pan or a rectangular cookie sheet, building up the edges slightly.

Pre-bake dough in 425* oven for 8 minutes.

Remove from oven and spread with sauce, sprinkle with cheeses, top with pineapple and bacon.

Cook at 425* for 10 - 15 minutes more.

Servings: 4
