Pretty Popovers!

The other night I decided to tackle a more difficult recipe...and I rocked it! I used Alex Guarnaschelli's popover recipe. I followed her exact instructions, but used a little less salt. Her instructions tell you to warm the lightly greased muffin pan. I ended up doing this twice, because I warmed the pan too much the first time around and burned the butter. These popover were so delicious my grandma even asked me to make them again!

Easy Pizza!

The first meal I made when I came home for the semester was pizza! I had made it when I was at school (my camera died, so I didn't take a picture) and it was delicious. 

Ingredients:
2 fresh whole wheat pizza doughs (refrigerated section near cheeses)
2 tomatoes
2 green peppers
1 medium onion
Marinara Sauce 
Ricotta Cheese
Mozzarella Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Garlic Powder
Dried basil and parsley 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease two baking sheets very well and stretch the dough to fit each pan. I recommend using a smaller size baking sheet for this type of dough. At school I have a small baking sheet (college style) and the crust came out perfect, but at home I used bigger sheets and the dough was a little thin.

I made first pizza with just tomatoes, ricotta cheese, garlic powder and herbs. The second pizza I started with my homemade sauce, peppers, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder and herbs. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. I put one on the top rack and the other on the bottom rack, switching them half way through.
