Simple Pizza Friday

Written by , Posted in Thoughts

TomatoOnionPizza4

It’s the end of the work week. Are you tired? I am. And that’s ok. It was a busy week, but lots got done. Let’s celebrate that with a simple Pizza Friday meal.

All you’ll need are some tomatoes, red onion, mozzarella, and some herbs. Oh, and a pizza crust would be helpful here.

You can make your own, or buy a pre-made one at the store. I’ve done both. I like both. Mostly, I just like pizza.

I know people who make cheese. I’m not one of them. Are you? I want to be. Maybe someday. For now, I will enjoy Pizza on Fridays (or any day really) and be thankful that our grocery store is always stocked with plenty of mozzarella!

Happy Eating!

All Star Menu

Written by , Posted in Thoughts

It’s baseball time. That and the summer fruits and veggies are two of the things I like most about summer (two of the most or two of the only?).

I grew up rooting for the Blue Jays. My brother and I jumped and cheered so hard when they won the World Series (I don’t remember if it was the first or the second one) that we knocked our VCR off the TV and it fell and made a dent in the wall.

I love baseball. It’s the only sport that I will sit down and watch. I know some find it boring. Not me.

My team is the Red Sox now. I will always be a bit of a Jays fan, but when we watched the Red Sox win the World Series over our 1st anniversary trip in 2007, we fell in love. And they became our team. Husband didn’t love baseball coming into our marriage. That was something that I brought. So it’s been something that we’ve grown to love to do together. We watch our team. We eat hot dogs and chili, we drink Blue Moon, we holler at the umps when they make terrible calls, we laugh at how much Don and Jerry laugh during their broadcast… We just love it. We hope to go to Fenway Park soon to see the Red Sox live… Hope hope hope…

In the meantime, we’ll watch at home. We’d watch every game if we could. And every year we look forward to the All Star Game. In part because it’s baseball, but also because it’s an excuse to have a themed dinner.

Our menu might include…

Any of these kinds of PIZZA: Hello, Bacon Pizza, BBQ Apple Bacon Pizza, Bell Pepper Pizza, BLT Pizza, and Taco Pizza… I love you ALLLLL!

BLTPizza

Crispy Potatoes with Chili and Cheese: Add already amazing Summer Chili to also amazing Crispy Potatoes and top with cheese and fresh tomatoes. Oh boy, did I do something right here or what?!

CrispyPotatoesWithChiliAndCheese2

Bacon and Egg Burgers with Spicy Roasted Potato Salad: Bacon and egg on a burger is a good idea. Roasting potatoes and making them into a Potato Salad is amazing. Eating these together… mind blown!

SpicyRoastedPotatoSalad3

Hot Dogs and Braised Beans with Watermelon: Classic baseball watching food.

BraisedBeans

Pulled Pork Sandwiches that are topped with Coleslaw with Crispy Potatoes on the side: Yes. Just yes.

PulledPorkSandwich

All Star Nachos: Because you should be eating Nachos while you watch baseball. It’s just wrong not to.

Nachos2

Gosh I’m hungry!

Happy Eating! Happy All Star Game!

Hot Diggity and Beans

Written by , Posted in Thoughts

BraisedBeans3We love themed dinners around here. Often on Saturdays we’ll have something basebally (that’s totally a word… right?) to eat while we watch the game. Since we’re usually watching from our living room, if we want a hot dog to eat, we’ve got to cook it ourselves.

Done.

The hot dogs that we eat come from Llano Seco Organic Pork. If I’m going to eat a hot dog, this is the one I’m gonna have! I think what I like the very best about them: I can pronounce all of the ingredients on the list (the first two being organic pork and organic beef) and there are no nitrites or nitrates added (“except for those occurring naturally in sea salt and celery powder”). Winner! (PS They also sell bacon. It is literally the best bacon I have ever had. Ever.)

Along with those hot dogs are some Braised Beans. They cook long enough to get a little creamy and so so so thick. Mmmm, better than you could get at the ballpark I think (although I’ll admit that there’s just something about that ballpark food that’s so yummy… we just won’t talk about what’s really in the nacho cheese, ok?!).

Happy Eating!
