Guest Chef Kevin Harris and his Sous Chef, Kota, homemade Pizza
My dear and beloved Bestest Friend, hailing from Northeast Colorado, is quite talented in the kitchen, with his trusty, cheese-tax collecting dog, Kota.
The dough recipe he used can be seen here, it’s so easy!
Kevin described the pizza making process as super easy, using the following ingredients:
Mozzerrella Cheese
The pizza dough (made from the recipe)
Marinara sauce, homemade or jarred he says is fine
Pepperoni sliced, prepackaged
Spread out the dough to the desired pizze size, lay it on the pizza stone or tray
smear the marinara sauce as the base
Sprinkle lightly or heavily the mozzarella cheese, to preference, give a sprinkle of the cheese as tax to the dog.
Top with Pepperoni (and/or other toppings)
Bake at 350 degrees Farhenheit for 30-40 minutes
Cut the pie into 4 or 8 slices and Enjoy!
Johnson and Oelhafen Wedding- a love to celebrate
it is official! Rebecca and Stephen have tied the knot!
Myy lovely cousin Rebecca is married now to a wonderful man, named Stephen. The wedding today was outstanding and quite beautiful, as they said their vows, and committed their lives to each other.
The wedding took place in a Wells Lutheran Church in Wisconsin, and it was such a beautiful place. Stephan’s father, an ordained Lutheran minister, married the young couple in front of family and friends today.
it has been a wonderful celebration and reception today, filled with so much love, and so many well wishes, and of course, it was a fairytale for them to kick off their lives together.
after the wedding at the church, we all met up at the reception venue for dancing wonderful food and of course what would a wedding be without Dr. Hooks “Sylvia’s mother” being played and the whole family singing and dancing together to unify the whole event!
The groomsmen also gave the bridal couple the chair lifting tradition
A mistaken but tasty delivery: Vegetable Fried Rice and a Soda
Sleeping post work, my door bell rang. I woke up and told the person I would be there in a minute.
Upon answering the doorbell, there wasn’t a person on the other side of the door but there was a chinese food delivery: A large container of vegetable fried rice, no receipt, and 2 sodas. I didn’t order a delivery and I wanted to tell the delivery person that I hadn’t ordered anything and he delivered to the wrong address but the person was long gone.
So, what was a girl to do? I, of course, ate the delivery for lunch, since I was woken up and realized I was hungry. A soda and a meal on someone else’s effort. Thank you to the person who mis-delivered the food!
Making meals in a Jiffy, dump, pour, mix and go!
Sometimes we need things that are easy and don’t cost an arm and a leg while we are busy doing other things but we also don’t want to eat “junky crappy” food either. Here’s a combo that made it super easy (and I happened to pick up the soup on sale 2 weeks ago while grocery shopping.) The cornbread is technically homemade with help, a lovely combo!
Recipe
Dump the Box of Soup into a medium pan, warm on medium low heat (start after you pop the cornbread into the oven)
Open the box of cornbread, dump into a mixing bowl with milk and egg (directions are on the side of the box)
Bake the Cornbread according to the package directions; you can put it into a muffin pan or in a greased 8×8 baking dish; either way works.
Once the cornbread is done and the soup is hot, serve up. I found that the cornbread and soup makes four small servings or 2 larger servings.
Keeping things simple-making thing simple-Lent Day 11
Okay, there are some days that life just needs to be made easy; yes, there are times even when i don’t want to cook for myself because I am just not feeling groovy or adventerous in making different food. When one lives alone, one gets to do all the cooking and cleaning and sometimes, a little easyness is needed!
My meal today for lunch was made easy by using sliced strawberries, bananas, chopped walnuts and a bit of feta to create a quick and easy meal for myself. Who else needs quick meals sometimes?
Meal prep, thinking ahead, lent day 5
Packing a lunch for my work tonight. We’re all thinking ahead.
I packed myself two wraps, bananas, a couple of trail mix granola bars, and raisins. I also included a little chocolate for myself as dessert. I’m excited about starting my new job tonight. Yes I’m working two jobs now technically but I’m starting a new job tonight and I’m nervous but excited and my lunch is ready.
Music to my ears–discovering new sounds!
Taking a leap forward and expanding my music play list, an adventure in discovering something outside of my normal genre and tastes! Worth sharing and one never knows who else might enjoy something that they didn’t know about before, like me!
With the New year now upon us, we can go the distance to enjoy great things!
Hugh Miller Cottage, Cromarty, Scotland
I was so very blessed to get to spend a whole day touring the childhood and adulthood home (for a while) of Hugh Miller, geologist, reformer, stone mason and Scots. Truly an amazing experience!! I used my National Trust for Scotland pass to tour it, which is awesome.
Steinbach
A Small, quaint town in the heart of the Black Forrest, Thomas and I stopped at the Guesthause Hirch for a wonderful german meal, the church bells rang, and the service was nice, the food superb. A town that one can easily relax in and fully enjoy!!! A place to get a breath of fresh air and enjoy the day. It is also easily accessible, not far from Baden Baden
