My bf's mother makes some awesome pizza. Nice with the thick chewy crust and plenty of toppings (and lotsa cheese). It is yum.

I realized I sort of contradicted myself with the hating chain store pizza but then liking sbarros. Eh I guess it depends on my mood. I stand by hating Pizza Hut thought.

There was no good pizza downstairs but I made myself a good salad. It had mixed greens and chicken and sunflower seeds and tomatoes.

I only ate light like that because later tonight there's cake and lasagna for my best friends birthday.

Oh! Msa. Can you please post that beanless chili recipe? I have a special folder at home on my computer with stuff you post. It always comes out so good!.

Parm user here. I will put it on pizza if there is no ranch available. :D

I put parm on most pastas...however, I don't really like pasta all that much. I think that has something to do with not liking the sauces very much. I can do without marinara and alfredo altogether. Carbonara is okay but I feel all bloaty and nasty after eating it. Putanesca is okay depending on how it's made. And then there is the fact that pasta is just a sh%t load of bland carbs which I don't really need.

That said, one of my favorite meals this summers was cold capellini with home grown tomatoes, some basil, some pepper, a dash of salt and some parm. SOOOOOO amazing. Relatively little cooking and HUGE tastiness.

I also put parm on green salads.

Parm is good.

Oh...and I'm not Italian. My uncle...who is German through and through is a big Parm user. Calls it stinky feet cheese. :D

Navy: I'm shocked about the cheese revelation. Is it just melty cheese or cheese altogether? One of my food credos is 'cheese makes anything taste better.' ;) so I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around a cheese hater. :D

LOL NV's probably thinking of the male/female pizza toppings 'cause when I order it it's lots of veg and grilled chicken and he's more of the meats and veg:)

Avery

1 pound ground beef ( 85/15 on the fat content)
1 pound ground pork
1 6 oz can crushed tomatos
1 can fire roasted tomatos chopped
1-2 serrano peppers ( remove seeds and chop fine)
3 cloves garlic chopped
2 jalepenos chopped
1 medium onion chopped fine
2 tbs chili powder
1 tbs crushed red pepper flakes
1 green, 1 red, and 1 yellow pepper chopped

In a large skilled brown the meat. Transfer meat to large stewpot and add oil to skillet. I
n oil add crushed red pepper flakes and garlic and let saute for 1-2 min. Add serrano, jalepeno,onion and other peppers and saute until they look a little wilted and soft. Dump the pepper mixture into the stew pot and add crushed and chopped tomatos ( drain the chopped tomatos first)Add chilli powder and salt ( about 3-4 tbs)Stir well and turn on stove to medium high. When it starts to bubble, turn heat down to low. Let simmer for at least 4-5 hours on a back burner until all the liquid is cooked off and the meat is super soft:) Enjoy

Lol so does my dad, and so does my bf's family XD It does smell pretty rank sometimes, especially when it's fresh. But it's a good kind of rank, the kind where you think "daaaaaaaamn that's potent...it's gonna be goooooooooooooooood."

Ooh MsA I'm gonna try that. Do you have a pizza dough recipe? :)

Still effing snowing here -_- *steam comes out ears* I don't so much mind it as I mind the crazy drivers that come out in it.

Ingredients
1 3/4 cup warm water
1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast (recommended: RapidRise)
2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 to 5 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for bowl
Cornmeal, for pan
Directions
Preheat oven at 450 degrees F.

Measure out 1 3/4 cups warm water (it should be pleasantly warm on your wrist). Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and allow it to activate, about 10 minutes.

Put the salt and 2 cups of the flour into a food processor or blender. Pulse 5 times to blend. Pour in the yeast and water and pulse 5 times. Add the olive oil. Add the remaining flour 1 cup at a time, pulsing and scraping the sides of the bowl until well blended. As soon as the mixture is combined, dump it out onto a well-floured board and knead for 15 turns, until the dough is smooth .

Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, until doubled in size, then punch it down. Divide it in half; each half will make 1 (12-inch) pizza.

Place on a cornmeal-dusted pizza stone, pizza pan, or cookie sheet. Roll up edge slightly to create a ridge around the pizza. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until crust is light brown.

I think you might be dead to me. Alfredo sauce is pure goodness. Chicken alfredo with lots of garlic bread make for one yummy meal.

So, who thinks we need to start a new thread series called stump MsA? We'd just start asking for recipes for random things and see how long it takes her to post. Whoever gets the longest delay per thread wins the thread.

Thankies!!!!!!

Oh I don't think you could stump MsA, Zeek. She is the goddess of food. And besides, what if she's not at her computer all day? There's your delay in posting :P

I agree, chicken alfredo is awesome. chicken and broccoli/chicken and spinach alfredo with penne is the best.

But my hatred of Alfredo means there is more for you.

It's too salty. I hate salt. If I put salt on something it's because it tastes bad. If I can taste salt in something, I won't eat it. I can taste the salt in Alfredo. It's also kind of bland, if you ask me.

And I might rather be dead that eat Chicken Alfredo: salty blandness that it is. It's so white and boring. ;)

BUT, I did support your Buffalo wings theory. Too much trouble for such a little reward. If it was Buffalo drumstricks or Buffalo boneless breasts. I might be able to support the consumption.
