Homemade Pizza Dough And Sauce Recipe

Quote For The Day:

"Every pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard and believe in yourself." - Bill Murray

Food For Thought:

Deer and babies

Have you tried venison before? I was born and raised in the Ozarks of Southwest Missouri. Here in Missouri, it is common to hunt and eat deer. It is a very sporting part of the country. We live close to Springfield, Missouri. The original Bass Pro is located in Springfield. If you get a chance to visit Springfield, you will enjoy the Bass Pro store.

The above picture was taken yesterday with my phone. I couldn't get a clear picture because the deer were far away. It was a doe and her two babies. They were in the city and in that area it is common to see deer often.

Some people have never tried venison. Those who have eaten deer meat either like it or don't. Venison has a gamey taste but is healthier than beef because it is lean. Deer eat acorn and wild vegetation and that caused the gamey flavor.

Would you be interested in venison recipes? I have some I can share with you. Please let me know in the comment section below. The most common way to cook venison in my area is to fry it in oil. I grew up watching my grandmother and mother batter and fry deer meat in a skillet on top of the stove. You can tenderize deer meat.

A Few Questions For You:

• Have you made completely homemade pizza before?
• What is your favorite pizza to eat?
• Do you like anchovies?
• When you buy cooked pizza, what is your favorite place to purchase pizza?
• Did you see my recipe from yesterday? It is called Fudge Bake Happiness Recipe. It would go well with pizza for dessert. Take a look and let me know what you think about it.

More Information For You:

Rumor has it that pizza comes from Italy. Farmers would cook pizza in outdoor wood-fired ovens. They topped their pizzas with cheese. Pizza dates back to the 18th century. The first pizza store opened in America in 1905 in New York City. Since then, pizza has gained popularity among Americans. To learn more history and facts about pizza, visit Pete's Brewhouse.

Thoughts On Homemade Pizza:

Homemade pizza tastes better than storebought pizza, and better than frozen pizza for sure. Homemade pizza gives me the opportunity to make it exactly how I want it. I can make the dough, add the amount of sauce I want, and put the toppings of my choice.

I have made pizza from the box and it was good but making homemade pizza from scratch has a different taste. It is more satisfying too because I know I made the whole pizzy myself. Kids love the making process of pizza and it gives them an opportunity to create a food that they normally see the pizza already made for them.

This recipe is categorized under Italian Food but it is very American. Most people in America love pizza and it works well for any fun occasion because it is easy to eat.

Chicken Enchiladas Recipe

Quote For The Day:

 

"Let’s get one thing straight: Mexican food takes a certain amount of time to cook. If you don’t have the time, don’t cook it. You can rush a Mexican meal, but you will pay in some way. You can buy so-called Mexican food at too many restaurants that say they cook Mexican food. But the real food, the most savory food, is prepared with time and love and at home. So, give up the illusion that you can throw Mexican food together. Just understand that you are going to have to make and take the time." - Denise Chavez

 

Food For Thought:

Kielbasa and potatoes with cheese

A friend at work shared a dish she put together. She always shares her food with us. She doesn't share every day but she does often. We are very grateful to eat the food she brings. The Kielbasa and potatoes is not a written recipe. She said it was something that she put together because she had the ingredients and needed to make something for the week.

There is not a good segue into what I want to share with you. I received news from one of my daughters. She is a deli-manager at a local restaurant. She told me they are closing the doors. I am sad to hear this. I hate it that she will be losing her job. She enjoyed her deli tasks and made good work friends.

The local restaurant has been open for many years. The restaurant was shut down last year for over 6 months for remodeling. I heard the cost of remodeling caused a great amount of debt and that is the reason for closing the business now.

My daughter will have to look for a different job. I know that feeling well. I lost a job many years ago at a company I was planning to stay with until retirement. They moved the company to Mexico. I was very disappointed too. I was left to looking for a different job that I could work at.

One things that never changes about life is that there is always change. We must learn to pivot and adjust our sales. We do the best we can do.

My Thoughts On Chicken Enchiladas:

When I go to a Mexican restaurant, if I do not order beef enchiladas, I order chicken enchiladas. I also love the steak burritos if they are available. What I love most about chicken enchiladas is the seasoning flavor that is put into the chicken when it is cooked. The chopped chilies and creamy sauce added with melted cheese tops it off. I must have corn chips and cheese with my chicken enchiladas. Are you craving this food yet? This is a great recipe if you are in the mood for a Mexican dish. Give it a try and share your experience with me. I would love to see your pictures.
