Cast Iron Pizza. I’m not really sure why it never dawned on me to make pizza in my cast iron skillet. After all, Chicago pizzerias use cast iron to make deep dish pizza and it has qualities that are sure to make for good pie. Namely, it gets really hot and stays really hot. So, I was very happy when it destroyed all the other options in last week’s poll. I guess you guys want to know how to make pizza in a skillet! Well, I’m happy to oblige.

The Angry Chef's Garlicky Lemon-Pepper Chicken. A lot of folks have asked me for this recipe. It’s one of The Angry Chef’s signature dishes, and I was lucky to pry it away from him. This recipe is a dream come true for garlic lovers like me. It’s tart and garlick-y and oh-so-fragrant in all the right ways. (As a bonus, you’ll surely be safe from vampires for the evening.) The instructions below are one part recipe, one part technique. Basically, the chicken breast is dredged in flour, then shallow fried in a bath of bubbling golden olive oil.
Lemon juice, powdered peel, and fresh zest provide a triple dose of bright citrus flavor right near the end of cooking.

Like all of Oma’s meals, Oma’s One-Hour Homemade Spaghetti Sauce is simple, hearty and delicious.
However, if you have seen Oma’s other recipes like Oma’s Old-Fashioned Pot Roast, Oma’s Cheesy Tuna Casserole & Oma’s Sour Cream Chicken, Oma isn’t fancy. And I’ll be the first to admit that I’m sort of a foodie who likes the occasional flash of fancy in her meals. One of my favorite sauces is Bolognese which simmers for no less than 3 hours on the stove to achieve greatness. Trust me when I tell you that Oma’s amazingly simple sauce achieves similar greatness in just about an hour which makes Oma’s Spaghetti a great mid-week dinner option.

(No, really, it is. We’re having pizza tonight!) Pizza night is a staple in many households, but it doesn’t always mean picking up a pizza from your favorite pizza joint. Instead, you can whip up a pizza yourself in just about the time it takes for that pizza joint to make one. (Note: Pizzas take about 20-25 minutes in the oven to cook, max). My kids love when we make homemade pizza, and I love being spontaneous about it. Actually, you can still be pretty spontaneous because that pizza sauce is super easy to make at home.
Now, what about the other ingredients? The dough: I usually have pizza dough in the fridge or freezer, but if you don’t have dough, you can substitute pita bread, tortillas, English muffins or French bread. The cheese: For the cheese, I always keep a bag of shredded mozzarella in the fridge, since it’s great on pizza, homemade chicken Parmesan and so much more. Toppings: I’m big on the use-what-you-have thing. Make it. Sarah W. Four Cheese Lasagna. Steamed Chinese Dumplings. Steamed Dumplings…a food from my childhood. Not just any type of food though – the kind I would get super excited about whenever they were in my future. It was an event – not just a meal. We had a long counter where all the dumpling wrappers would be laid out – we would scoop some filling into the center of each, then take some water – and with our fingers dab water on the edge of half the circle.
We would seal them up – then store them on a cookie sheet. We would make tons of them – and then they would go into the steamer, batch after batch, and we would eat as much as we possibly could. I could have lived on dumplings as a kid. I can’t believe it has been so long, but I finally decided to make them for my kids.

Five-Spice Beef Stir-Fry | Evil Shenanigans - Baking & Cooking Blog.
There was a cooking program that I used to love called Simply Magic. It is an Australian cooking show presented by Kylie Kwong and it features Chinese food. Her recipes are healthy, made with fresh ingredients, and they are attainable in a home kitchen. Needless to say… I adore her. It was while watching her show that I saw a recipe for Chicken Fillets with Honey and Ginger. And so, for my third Texas Beef Council* recipe, I give you my beefy adaptation of Kylie’s dish.

Ricotta Gnocchi Recipe | Souvlaki For The Soul. A long time ago I shared a house with a friend of mine who was of Italian descent. Part Sicilian, part Neapolitan his parents always made sure the house was stocked with home made goodies. Every month there would be a delivery of bottled tomato sauce, home made lasagna, crostoli and his mothers home made gnocchi. Out of all the food items that made their way to the pantry and freezer it was the gnocchi I lusted after. These bite sized morsels of "cloud-like softness" were just irresistibly perfect. They were always the first to go. My few attempts at making home made gnocchi using potatoes proved "so-so".
A little online research revealed that gnocchi vary from region to region and even household to household in Italy. A few practice runs later, I think I have a recipe that works for me. If you attempt this recipe for ricotta gnocchi please note that it's fresh ricotta I use.

When my husband asked me what we were having for dinner this past Sunday, “pot stickers” came out of my mouth before I really even thought about it. Apparently, my stomach knew what it wanted before my brain had time to register it.
Once I said it I was committed which really isn’t a bad thing. I’d actually had making homemade pot stickers on the back burner since I started my food blog, so we are going on three years. That’s a pretty long time to be meaning to make something. My first excuse was that I didn’t have a pasta roller to get the dough thin enough. Well, I got one of those last October for my birthday so I was quickly running out of reasons why I shouldn’t make it.
We had grilled a local, pastured chicken a few days before so I had plenty of meat to make a filling. I mentioned that I had been meaning to make these since the start of my blog and that is because of this recipe for Soy-Butt Pot Stickers from one of the very first blogs I read regularly, Eating Out Loud. Broccoli & Cheese Stromboli | Handle the Heat. Simple Sushi Dinner Party! | The Official Website for Donal Skehan. I was scrolling through my photos the other day and realised that I had never posted this piece about sushi I wrote the Irish Independent last year. There are some really nice little sushi recipes, which even if you’ve never tried making it yourself, make it seem all a little more manageable… Laura Kenny, an architecture student from Sutton, Dublin, likes to run her cook club a little bit differently.
Instead of people bringing along various dishes, like the classic American pot-luck supper clubs, or the more traditional style where each club member hosts a different night each week, Laura likes to ensure that her dinner-party guests get to try out a new cuisine.That’s definitely what happened at the cook club I attended. When Laura told me she would be serving sushi, I couldn’t have imagined the hands-on experience I was going to enjoy.

If there was one thing I could eat almost every day and not get tired of, it would probably be pizza. A thin, crisp base topped with almost anything you can imagine, what could be better than that? It helps too, that it is so easy to make from scratch. If you’ve never cooked with yeast before, this is a great way to start. They are a far cry from the oily, sloppy and seriously unhealthy chain fast food alternatives. I’ve wanted to share my favourite pizza base recipe here for so long, but somehow I never managed to snap a photo of the finished product before we dug in and demolished it. As for toppings, you can put almost any combination of meat, vegetables and cheese that you fancy, but here are some of my favourites:• Eggplant Margherita: grilled eggplant, tomato, mozzarella and basil on a homemade tomato sauce base.• Duck Pizza: inspired by the Australian Heritage Hotel, we’ve tried recreating this at home with great success.
So tell me, what is your favourite pizza topping? Perfecting Pasta (Recipe: Homemade Linguine with Whiskey Cream Sauce) Coca-Cola Chicken Wings. Here's a goody from the archives. A number of you have tried this recipe for Coca-cola Chicken wings that I first posted in March 2011. You wouldn't guess just how delicious it is based on the simple ingredients. In this recipe that's a favorite of home cooks in China, Cola-Cola and soy sauce meld to form a great sweet and savory glaze for the chicken. You get a great caramelized flavor without the work! I don't know exactly when or how Coca-cola chicken wings became a Chinese dish, but it's a baby compared to everything that originated back when dynasties existed. In China, Coke and other sodas hold a higher prestige than they do in the US. I have also attended banquets and Chinese New Year dinners where bottles of 7-Up and Pepsi were sitting like centerpieces in the middle of white table cloth-covered tables.
This is all to say that the cult of Coke in China is pretty strong. Coca-Cola Chicken Wings Serves 4 Ingredients Instructions. Wor Teep - Potstickers.
