New in the World of Cooking

No, nothing earth shattering. Just a few things that I've done lately that turned out really well. Or I think they have anyway  :)

First up - Breakfast Casserole!

I made this a while ago for one of my classes. If you recall the Awesome Postcard Gift, this was the "thank you" for the student who brought it. Turned out pretty well, I reckon. There was *none* left. N-o-n-e.

Then there's this awesome homemade pizza! I had a hankerin' for pizza after a Costco run. Yes, I did purchase a (huge) slice there for cheap, but it didn't totally stop the craving. And a while ago, I learned of this "pizza yeast". It is yeast - but you don't have to let it rise. I was skeptical, but here's the finished product to prove that it does work:

I probably should have wiped the stove before taking the pic...

And lastly - tonight's spaghetti sauce. I had some leftover that I was thinking of freezing. And a pile of little tomatoes on my counter. I saw a recipe for making pasta with fresh tomatoes, etc, and decided to combine the two. So I heated up the old sauce, cut up the little tomatoes and tossed them in, along with some more fresh basil. And voila! It was awesome - even tasted "fresh". The only downside? It was really, really, *really* hot! Some splashed out somehow and onto my foot. I yelled in pain. True story.

That will do it for the recent cooking adventures, I reckon. Nothing else I've cooked has been nearly as exciting. Still looking for suggestions for this, though...
