Pizza Night

Tonight I think I baked the most yummy pizza every. I used the same recipe from my Southern Living cook book but for some reason the dough came out really great this time. I used a different brand yeast, Rapunzel, and I think the yeast really bubbled up like it was suppose to. Also I used a different type of Bob Red Mill's flour. I used the organic unbleached white flour - it suppose to be great for making different kinds of breads. My dough doubled up like it wa suppose to and was all nice and stretchy like a pizza dough should be.

I kept the sauce simple. Opened a can of tomato sauce, added some dried herb, a dash of salt and called it a day. I also grated some raw mozzerella cheese and that was it for a topping. And of course I brushed the pizza dough with olive oil before I put any sauce or cheese onto the pizza.

They came out so yummy. I would have taken pics but of course I was too lazy to run upstairs and grab the camera *shaking head*

Well the family LOVED the pizza. I had enough dough for two pizza's and let me tell you them sh*ts didn't make it out the oven good before they were gone. Since I have some sauce left over, maybe I'll make up a couple more pizza's tomorrow.

Thinking of Cooking Thursday

Since I don't have the actual follow through to plan my meals AND cook them, I decided to something a little different and write down the meals I "intend" to cook but may not actually get around to it. *chuckle*

I've been sick since Tuesday and really haven't felt like doing much of anything, let alone cooking. So since I didn't even get to do my Kwanzaa dinner, I'm now incorporating that meal into my meal planning. Maybe I'll cook it for a Sunday dinner - I am starting to feel better, so who knows.

Please know that the order I'm typing these meals are not necessarily the order in which a may or may NOT cook them. LOL. I'm know, I'm a mess. *chuckle*
