"In My Kitchen" Homemade Pizza

Image
I cannot believe how easy is it to make a pizza from scratch. I used 3 cups of flour, 1 packet yeast, some sugar, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt. I dissolved the yeast in 1 cup of water with a little dash of sugar. Then I mix everything, and knead for about 5 minutes, made it to a ball and cover with a little olive oil. I let it rise for an hour and cut the dough in a half. I stretched the two pieces to fit my cookie sheets. I added sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and some pepperoni slices. Baked in 450°F oven for 15 minutes and here is my finish product. This is my very first time making it, in my whole life...lol. Two of my kids enjoyed it. DH said that I needed more sauce and cheese. I was having second thought actually before putting it in the oven. I was looking at it and thinking that maybe more sauce and cheese will be needed. Sure enough I was right all along. Since this is my very first time making it, the next time I'll make sure there are plenty of the sauce and che...

Outdoor Kitchen

Image
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Werever Products Inc . All opinions are 100% mine. I have posted about outdoor kitchen a long time ago but this post is not about the way we cook in the olden days. This is how we can use our outdoor space for our kitchen, extending our living space out. I do love the idea of extending the living space out but when you live in the cold North like me, you can only enjoy this a few months a year. However, I can enclose the outdoor kitchen and make it all season and can be use all yearlong. I do love the idea of having a grill in my kitchen and have grilled food all year round; they are much healthier than any other method of cooking, in my opinion. All the materials are built with solid marine-grade polymer and back with lifetime warranty. They stay looking new with maintenance free outdoor cabinetry. They are easy to put together and withstand temperature changes. You can call or email them with your customize detailed design to fit...

Freshly Bake Rolls

Image
This is my home made rolls. The same recipe I used to make the dinner rolls I posted a long time. I only omitted the sugar and this time I did not cut them into small pieces. My family loves this when they first come out of the oven. Nothing like it they say. This one is ready to be bake. Just came out of the oven, can you smell it? The butter melts as soon as it touches the bread.

Stress Free Holiday Cooking

Image
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Club House . All opinions are 100% mine. I only started hosting Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner when we bought our house. Before then we always go to my sister in law’s house for these occasions. I never cooked turkey or ham before then either. I am not very fond of turkey or chunk of ham, but I will eat them just for these occasions. Before the first event in our house, I had to buy a whole chicken to practice with. I followed every direction and the chicken came out perfect. I was pretty proud of myself getting it perfect for the first try. And yes, I have been cooking holiday dinners from then. I brought the gravy in a can and just add water stuffing because I don't want a messed-up. The gravy and stuffing are still not perfect until today. I just learn about using the pan drippings from gravy tips video at Club House Gravy. And guess what; I will use the drippings from this day forward. Holiday is very stressful en...

I'm A Mud Pie

Image
What is mud pie made of anyway. I have not tasted one before but somehow my answers turn as a mud pie...lol. I should start looking for a recipe and make one to taste. The only mad pie I knew is from the yard when the kids play on muddy dirt and made one from it. I know there are big difference but I think Oreo mud pie would taste really good. You Are Mud Pie You're the perfect combo of flavor and depth. You are overpowering and dominant - and that's what people like about you. You bring energy and a new direction to most interactions. People crave you in a serious way. You're that important to them. Those who like you give into their impulses. You don't represent reason. You represent pure temptation. People get addicted to you rather easily. You offer people a dark side that is very hard to resist.

Buko (Young Coconut ) Soda

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Jones Soda . All opinions are 100% mine. Ads are very powerful tools to get messages across, to make the difference in this world. Those who can afford it will have a wide variety to choose from. If I can afford it, I will use myJones custom soda to educate the public about our government. This will not be a gift but a handout for the public in every gathering. Each can or bottle will have messages in them, telling what is wrong and right in our society. With every different variety comes the different message. And the flavor I will use is Buko, this is not well known but everyone knows it as young coconut. I will name it simply “Buko soda” and it comes with different variation. The picture above will be part of the logo along with a tropical scene. The flavors will come from anything we can use the Buko for. For example, Buko pie is very popular right now in my country and that will be one of the flavors. Furthermore, regular flav...

My Family is Boring

Image
And yes I like it that way...lol. All seven of us like chocolate and when it comes to birthday cake chocolate is always the pick for us. When I used to buy cake for birthdays in our household, I always buy yellow cake. Those are long gone because they are never gotten eaten. They are just full of air and very dry. Now that I discover Hershey chocolate cake, I will never go back. I always make chocolate cake with chocolate icing. And it has usually gone the next day. We are done with a birthday for this year, and I am not making one again until May for my DD. The image below is our DS having his 9th birthday in the beginning of December. How about that krueger shirt...lol?
