A couple of weeks ago I tried a recipe for Goat Cheese Quesadillas that had a filling very similar to this one. The filling was great but the Quesadillas were a flop. The filling wouldn't stay put so they were hard to eat. Then I found this recipe and thought it would work better. And it did. You can make it as is or add cheese (mozzarella, feta, Swiss Parmesan goat cheese … [Read more...]
I saw this recipe and knew my husband would love it. It was a little expensive to make but very easy, especially since I purchased a pre-made pizza crust. I had seen the crusts at Hy-Vee and wanted to try them. I probably won’t buy them every time but I was pressed for time and thought they were a good option (and they were!).

This recipe is also very versatile so if you want to add something or omit something (like the zucchini), you can very easily. And it can be even faster and easier if you precook a pound of ground beef and onions and have it waiting in the … [Read more...]
Who doesn’t like pizza! But buying pizza out is SO expensive and making your own is too time consuming. But wait . . . maybe there’s a way to make your own pizza without it breaking the bank and taking more time than you have! Years ago, my friend, Kathy Gentzler, gave me a pizza dough recipe that doesn’t need to rise. That’s right – it doesn’t need to rise. You just mix it … [Read more...]
