Make your own pizza at home

homemade_pizza
homemade_pizza

When I was still married, my Parisian-ex-husband and I loved to make pizza from scratch at home. I mean even the dough and the sauce were made from scratch.

I would take care of preparing the sauce and selecting and preparing the toppings, but he was the expert pizza dough maker.

I remember how much care and attention he used to place in preparing his dough.

Since my divorce, I still eat homemade pizza, but I buy the dough instead of making it myself because it’s a bit faster for those nights where I’m pressed for time.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there are still Italian restaurants in my city that make pizzas that are mouthwatering delicious they make your eyes swell with tears of joy and when I have a huge craving for an oven baked thin crust pizza, I can head to one of the favourite spots: Bar Mercurio, Terroni or Ferro!

My favourite part of eating pizza at an Italian restaurant, other than eating a fresh and crunchy Italian tradition, is to top my pizza off with hot chili oil or very hot peppers like they offer at Terroni and Ferro!

I’ve documented my love for hot peppers in the past and if you’ve missed that post, you can still read it here: Why I will never gain weight!

I’m sure you must have a few restaurants in your city that make incredible thin crust Italian pizzas. I personally have never liked thick dough pizzas topped with heavy sauce and covered with mountains of cheese. Way back I used to work at one of the luxury department stores and when they used to have us stay for yearly inventory counts, they would order those pizzas. I ate because I needed to fill my stomach, but I never really enjoyed them at all. I even blotted some of the excessive oils from those pizzas with paper before eating them because there was soooooooooooo much cheese.

Wild blueberry stuffing recipe

wild-blueberries-holidays-2009

I know this is last minute, but I just got my hands on this recipes and I thought someone out there much be dying to try something different in terms of stuffing so why not incorporate wild blueberries in your stuffing!

I’ll admit, I would never (NEVER) have thought of putting wild blueberries in stuffing and honestly when I think of combining blueberries and bread I immediately think of bread pudding than anything else, but I’ll admit this recipe has managed to combine two very healthy ingredients 1) cornmeal and 2) blueberries.

You’ll see from the recipe that this is not all that difficult to make and I could easily see myself sitting around with a plate of Wild Blueberry Cornbread Stuffing and nothing else.
