Kitchen Tip: Frozen Pizza Dough

IMG_0273

I think this is probably going to be the world's shortest blog post, but I wanted to let you know that freezing pizza dough is a really great idea. Triple your regular recipe, divide into eighteen individual balls and bundle each one in plastic wrap. Store the balls in the freezer and use as needed.  

This comes in handy for the following:

  • Last minute dinners when you have no idea what to cook
  • Family Friday pizza nights
  • Entertaining - divide each dough into mini balls and make individual pizzas - Top with pesto and brie or sausage and red pepper for an easy appetizer
  • Making easy cinnamon buns
  • Having friends over for calzones and movies
  • School lunches

Do you make your own pizza dough?  What are your favourite pizza toppings?

My favorite pizza is carmelized onions or fennell, goat cheese, and butternut squash. Yum!

Salad of the Week: Mixed Baby Greens, Bosc Pear, Dried Cranberries and Walnuts I have been devouring this salad for the past two weeks. It couldn't be easier to assemble and it's tastes perfectly "fall" without the heaviness of the root vegetables that have been making their way onto the plates for many of our other meals of late. I start with a base of mixed baby greens, although any lettuce, green or salad mix will work perfectly. Then I top with dried cranberries, crunchy whole walnuts and slivered bosc pears. Everything is tossed together with an orange vinaigrette, which really brings the flavours together nicely. It's a "recipe without a recipe" kind of thing; squeeze the juice of half an orange into an empty jam jar and add 1 teaspoon of grainy mustard, 1 teaspoon of Dijon, a sprinkling of kosher salt and a drizzle or two of honey. Mix it all together and top with 3-4 tablespoons of olive or canola...

Creepy Cupcakes Happy Halloween! Here's what accompanied my little Harry Potter to school this morning for his class party. They're made with a sweet potato cake base, iced with chocolate frosting and topped with candy to resemble some of the spooky faces I hope we might see over the next few days. I debated for quite a long time over how to decorate these ghoulish goodies and when it was 9pm and down to the wire I opted to use what I had on hand (after a quick trip to the 7-11). I think it worked well, and based on the kid's reactions I would say they agreed. (so serious for the camera) If you aren't already in a sugar induced coma this weekend, and you're looking to bake something scary, this sweet potato cupcake recipe is quite a winner. I used my favourite carrot cake recipe (from the Silver Palate cookbook),...
