Sounds hard. But it isn't. Obviously.
My awesome sis-in-law let me borrow this "5 ingredient cookbook", and my life hasn't been the same since.
I made this awesome pizza last night. It was a hit here in the Talbot home (Even with a very picky toddler).
Ingredients:
1 prebaked Italian bread shell crust (14 0z) Now, if you actually happen to find this stuff, or someone who actually knows what it is, power to you! I didn't. But that didn't stop me.
If you can't find this stuff, don't panic. Go get some of that frozen pizza dough. It was like $2. Thaw it and roll it out onto a greased pan. I put Italian seasoning in the dough. (Note: Don't thaw it for too long, because it will start to cook. Then it gets really hard to spread. But if this does happen, you can still do it anyway. I tested that one.)
2/3 cup Honey garlic bbq sauce. (Once again, if you can't find this, don't cry like I almost did. Just get Honey bbq and go home and add garlic salt in it) . I used maybe more sauce than that. I hate when things are dry.
1 small red onion, chopped. I used maybe half of it though. Don't wear make up if you're gonna do this. It might be smart to wear goggles or something, because this part was just flat out miserable. My eyes were crying for like 15 minutes. I couldn't even see anything. That's probably how a lot of kitchen accidents happen. Holding a sharp knife and crying very very hard can't be safe. Do they make kitchen goggles?
1 cup cubed cooked chicken. I made more. And seasoned it with Italian and pepper.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese. I used the orange kind. But it would have been better with mozzarella.
So basically, you just spread the sauce, and just add the toppings to your liking. I cooked it for 20 minutes. When I took it out of the oven , I added fresh tomatoes on top.
This was delicious. Really. I was worried big time because of the dough thing. But somehow everything worked out. And really, I wanna say it was my pan that saved my butt. I have the pampered chef stone ware. It's amazing. It cooks evenly, and things don't burn as easily on it. I recommend it!
Good luck!

Alecia, you are too funny!
ReplyDeleteA trick I leanrned with onions is that if you refrigerate them (if you know in advance that you'll need them), they don't burn your eyes as much. If they haven't been refrigerated, seriously, wear the goggles!
My sisters and I also have a recipe blog which has links to other recipe blogs. They are not always the easiest, but occasionally, you can find some super super simple things that are so yummy! Feel free to check it out. http://dinneratourtable.blogspot.com/
Also, here is one of my favorite recipes that is the easiest thing to make.

It's taco soup and seriously, all you do is open up a bunch of cans and heat them up then garnish with whatever you like (cheese, sour cream, etc.). You don't have to use exactly what this recipe calls for. You can use basically whatever you think is good.
Sorry that was so long. :)
woo this sounds good. I need visuals put your photo skills and take some pics of your delicious masterpieces :P
ReplyDeleteAlecia I seriously love you! Your blogs are so awesome! All of them! First of all, your whole description of cooking and how you feel about it is EXACTLY what I've been thinking for years, second, the kitchen goggle part cracked me up! I even made Jason listen so he'll believe me when I say that other people feel the same way I do when it comes to this stuff. I swear I'm gonna be your blog's #1 fan. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
