Cast Iron Pizza




Now I can't take the credit for this creation, I saw it on Jeff Mauro's instagram (From The Kitchen on the Food Network!) it looked sooo good and I had to try! I'm so glad I did, it will be our new go to cast iron pizza recipe. 

 Ingredients: 

  • ¾ Cup 1% Milk
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 package Instant Yeast
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 and 1/3 cup AP Flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 more Tablespoons olive oil 
  • 3 Cups whole milk mozzarella, from a block, cut into cubes
  • We also added some Colby jack cheese 
  • 2-3 cups of pizza sauce
  • Tons of pepperoni
  • Whatever other toppings you'd like, Joe did olives on his side and I did red onion and banana peppers on mine.

Directions: 
  1. Heat oven to 200 hundred and once reached, immediately shut off. 
  2. Measure milk in a microwave safe measuring cup and microwave for about 40 seconds or until temp reaches 110 degrees on instant read thermometer. 
  3. Add in yeast and sugar and let it bloom for about 5 minutes or until bubbly. 
  4. Meanwhile, in a stand mixture with DOUGH HOOK Attachment, add in flour and salt. Quick give it a spin to incorporate. 
  5. Add in 3 Tablespoons of olive oil to milk mixture and whisk together. Turn on mixer to medium/low and slowly add milk mixture into flour until a rough ball forms, scraping down with rubber spatula to get it all in there. 
  6. Mix on medium/low for 5 minutes. 
  7. Turn out to a board and form into a tight ball. 
  8. Place in well oiled bowl and cover in plastic wrap. 
  9. Put in warmed yet SHUT OFF oven for 20 minutes, or until it doubles in size. 
  10. Preheat oven to 400. 
  11. Take out dough ball, split in half and place in well oiled (2 tablespoons olive oil in each) cast iron skillet or cake pans. This is enough for two 9-10 inch sized pizzas. (We used 10 inch).
  12. Shape dough to fit to the sides of the pan. 
  13. Cover lightly and proof for another 20-30 minutes or until puffy. 
  14. Cover in desired pizza sauce, cheese and toppings. If you want that caramelized cheese sauce effect, take the cheese to the very edge of the dough, up agains the walls of the pan. 
  15. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and bubby.

Instant Pot Spaghetti

Instant Pot Spaghetti  Start by turning your instant pot to the sautĂ© function, adding some olive oil and then once the screen says HOT add your hamburger and brown.  All of the spices I used. Once the hamburger is browned Turn the instant pot off. Once I turned the instant pot off I added the noodles, crisscrossing the noodles so they don't clump. Next I added the spaghetti sauce, water, and spices.  Then set the instant pot to manual for 10 minutes and did natural release. And finished product!  I turned the instant pot off, put the lid back on and let it cool a little once I mixed everything together. I used this for freezer meals. I was able to get 7 1 1/2 cup servings. I let these cool and then put them in the fridge and waited to put them in the freezer until the next day so it was completely cooled. Ingredients: Olive Oil 1 lb hamburger 2 jars pasta sauce 1 16oz box angel hair noodles 1 cu...

In honor of Crohn’s and Colitis awareness week I thought I would finally share an update on my health journey.

Highlands (Song of Ascent) O how high would I climb mountains If the mountains were where You hide O how far I’d scale the valleys If You graced the other side O how long have I chased rivers From lowly seas to where they rise Against the rush of grace descending From the source of its supply In the highlands and the heartache You’re neither more or less inclined I would search and stop at nothing You’re just not that hard to find So I will praise You on the mountain And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way You’re the summit where my feet are So I will praise You in the valleys all the same No less God within the shadows No less faithful when the night leads me astray You’re the heaven where my heart is In the highlands and the heartache all the same O how far beneath Your glory Does Your kindness extend the path From where Your feet rest on the sunrise To where You sweep the sinner’s past O how fast would You come running If just to shadow me through the night Trace my step...
