Pepperoni Pizza Puffs Recipe | gimme some oven Pepperoni Pizza Puffs Ok – I’ve found a new favorite ingredient at the store. They’ve probably existed for years, and I somehow missed them. But hey — they’re new to me. :) I’m talking about…. Mini-pepperonis!!!! Have you seen these?! To put them to use, I decided to try out a recipe I’ve had bookmarked for awhile. So give them a try — either with diced regular pepperonis, or with my fun new favorites — and enjoy!! Ingredients 3/4 cup flour 3/4 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. dried oregano 3/4 cup milk (I used 2%) 1 egg, lightly beaten 4 oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded (about 1 cup) 4 oz. pepperoni, diced (about 1 cup) 1/2 cup pizza sauce (homemade or store-bought) 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, finely diced Method Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Warm the pizza sauce, then stir in 1 tablespoon basil. Ali’s Tip: These would of course be fun with tons of other ingredients!

LaSaGnA TiMpAnO I went to see tUnE-yArDs on Monday night with some friends, and as always we wanted to cook a meal that somehow related to the show we were heading to. Sometimes this is hard to do, but other times it seems to come naturally. Finding culinary inspiration in Merrill's lyrics seemed like it would be tough, but my sister knew what she wanted to make without hesitation. "How about something layered, because of all the vocal and instrument layering in the music?" Start by making a lasagna crust. Finally got it together. Now it's easy, just start building the layers! Alfredo sauce with some salami goes first. After 3 alfredo layers, I switched to pesto. A cheese only layer, just for fun. Tomato sauce is last. It's important to press things down as you go. In my opinion, it can't be lasagna without at least a little ricotta! I painted on some alfredo at the end as a glue. All sealed up. After baking. The flip is always a scary moment. Unveiling. A thing of beauty. Cutting is another tense event. Glorious!
