My Mom is back from her trip and as I talked with her this morning she said “you didn’t blog yesterday.” Oops! I started it, then because I was home from work because of the cold, never got back to it.
As luck would have it, my office is closed for a second day due to public transportation issues – and well, it’s still cold. Negative 26 degrees (air temp – felt like -44 with the windchill) and will “warm” up to 0 degrees by this afternoon. Sunday we should have temps in the 40’s – how crazy to have a 60+ change of temperature in just a few days!
So what was I to do with all that free time? Well, I was bizzy in my kitchen – duh. I am sorry if you follow me on Instagram – there were lots of stories, but the best part about that is, you can watch it, or not. But there was a lot of cooking involved!
I had to check back on the blog to see how long I’ve had this – I said a few years, but I knew my husband was alive when I had it – 2010!! I made this artichoke ravioli.
That, my friends, is skinny pizza dough ravioli! I made spinach and ricotta – I am close to greatness on this and will do another batch today before officially posting tomorrow. When I showed this on Instagram, a few dozen people said “oh Biz – fried ravioli would be amazing!” And since I have a deep fryer, within minutes I also had fried ravioli.
The filling needs more seasoning, and I am going to add an egg yolk or two to my pizza dough to mimic more of a pasta dough – stay tuned!
But for the record, these didn’t suck.
I also got to spend some much needed time on my blog organizing my recipes – I made a new link on the side – click on the link below the orange “All My Recipes” and it will take you to thumbnails to all my recipes. Hopefully this will help people navigate my website a bit better. I wish I had my brothers computer skillz. š
Now if you’ll excuse me – I have the house to myself today (well, the dogs are here!) so it’s time to jam some Post Malone and get Bizzy in My Kitchen.
Make it a great day – and don’t eat like an asshole.
Love, Biz
I love toasted ravioli so I was super happy to see you did them. I made homemade ones the other day but just used an ice cube tray sprayed with a little Pam and then used my pastry cutter to crimp the edges. I can’t bring myself to buy the ravioli pan knowing it won’t get used that much. Glad you will be getting some warmer weather soon. Keep snuggled up and doing the happy dance for all the extra recipes and tips we have gotten from your “snow days”.
I was worried about you yesterday when I didn’t see your blog. Glad you are OK. I read in the news that it got so cold the railroad tracks were damaged. I can’t imagine living where it gets so cold. I was born in Southern California and here I will stay.
All is well – didn’t mean to worry you – one day I’ll make it to California!
That’s why I commented on your IG post – you didn’t blog! I was worried Hoping that your office was closed though.
I started it, then switched to something else, then started cooking – ha! My whole routine was off, but it’s been a fun couple days in my kitchen. š Thanks Marcia š
Ok, maybe it’s just me but if you add eggs to your dough, it’s not longer your skinny pizza dough and has become a pasta dough. So why don’t you just make pasta dough – I bet it’s not that much difference points-wise.
I really feel for you guys in the midwest. Those temperatures, windchill or not, are almost incomprehensible. Enjoy your day off!
I know it seems silly – but a lot of people have my pizza dough on hand – I like the fact that you can already take the dough you have in the fridge and make something other than pizza. š
It will be in the high 40s by Sunday – so crazy!!
Glad to see your blog come in today! I wondered how you were fairing in the brutal cold weather Chicago is having.
Your ravioli looks yummy!
I am glad that if my furnace had to go out – last week was the time to get it fixed – I can’t imagine how cold our house would have gotten this week!
