oops I forgot the pepperoni... before I took this last picture


cook the tomatoes with the garlic and spices until enough liquid cooks out of the tomatoes for it to reach a sauce consistency...  I tear the tomatoes apart when I first dump them in the pot, do this by small pieces carefully or you'll squeeze tomato stuff all over yourself... lol

spread sauce on pizza crust, add toppings, and cheese, bake following directions on your pre-made crust.

Key Lime Cajun Mayo



I'm always looking for a new way to flavor fish... usually tilapia, because it's usually the cheapest...

Last night I mixed up some mayo, some key lime juice, some cajun spice mix, pepper, and sea salt, slathered the fish with that and baked it.  Yummy!

Pork Roast in a Pot

Brown the pork roast in the pot with a little olive oil and some chopped fresh garlic, salt and pepper to taste.

Cover with water, add, carrots, onions, dried mushrooms, cook it all day so that it's so tender it falls apart. Make sure you keep enough water in the pot. Later on add some potatoes, and give them time to cook.

So here's what it all looks like in the pot when it's done cooking

Take most everything out of the pot, but leave a little bit of everything in the pot for making the gravy.

I use a soup ladle to scoop a bowl of the liquid out of the pot, and mix my flour into that using a pampered chef gravy whisk that is awesome, then I take a potato masher to all the stuff left in the pot, and then stir my flour mixture back into the pot. So the gravy comes out looking like this with little bits of the whole thing in it....

and stir fried some onions, greens, and savoy

Chicken Quesadilla

This was just thrown together out of leftovers from a Chicken dinner consisting of Chicken tenders browned in a pan with a nice little sauce, sauteed peppers and onions, and portobello mushrooms.


The leftovers:








Leftover Chicken, peppers, onions & mushrooms are chopped on a gourmet spinach and vegetable flour tortilla, then topped with the shredded cheese and another tortilla, microwave for 1 minute, cut in fourth's or eighth's. Enjoy.
