Skinny pizza dough strikes again . . . Detroit Pizza Style! Here’s the thing though.  I’ve never had Detroit Pizza.  My friend Erica said “you’ve never had Jet’s Pizza?”  Turns out the closest one is 15 miles away.  She told me to try the bold pepperoni with turbo crust.  Interesting!   What makes it a Detroit Pizza? Detroit pizza is made in deep pans.  Since I...

Broccoli cheese soup was my go to choice at Panera.  Hannah used to work there and I’ve talked about how I envisioned her making this soup from scratch. Sadly, she told me that all the soups came frozen and all they did was reheat them at the store.  Bummer! Let’s talk about this mini bread bowl.  At first I thought it was useless because it...

We are at the point of winter where one foot is still in cold weather, but we can see spring in the horizon.  This beef and carrots with gravy dish is perfect for this time of year. Next time you go grocery shopping, look for beef chuck boneless eye steak.  It’s super economical at around $4 – $5 a pound.  It does have a bit...

Reuben sandwiches are hands down my favorite sandwich, so I obviously love Reuben pizza. My first attempt at a Reuben pizza was in January of 2010.  You can check out that post here and awe at the amazing food photography.  #not For years I thought close up food photography was where it was at.  My friend Morgan and I talk about that all the time. ...

For some reason I woke up this morning and had a taste for apple waffles.  Best idea evah! Now I have breakfast for the week already worked out – love meal prep Sunday. Making my plate sweet and savory was also the best idea.  I have the apple strawberry sauce in the recipe card below. Because I used oats for most of the flour, the...

Mapo Tofu Recipe I don’t think I have ever tried Mapo Tofu before.   This dish has such a depth of flavor, promise you’ll love it.  And tofu is zero Weight Watchers points. Mariano’s hosted a Phoenix Bean tofu virtual cooking class, but my Cooking Club was the same night so I wasn’t able to attend. My friend Amanda sent me the recipe and at first...

These pancake protein balls are so delicious.  Full of flavor, not too sweet and just the right size ball to put in your mouth. I never really had a sweet tooth.  Well, unless you count my love affair with gummies.  That’s a whole other story. 😂 These balls were ready from beginning to end in literally ten minutes.  This would be a fun project with...

My friend Justin posted a video several months ago making a pretzel pizza.  Huh. The premise is much like making pretzels, you dip the pizza dough in a baking soda bath. Why do you need baking soda to make pretzels? The short answer is that it starts to cook the dough before it goes into the oven and it also provides a chewy, yet crisp...

These potato chips with jalapeno ranch dip are going to be the hit at your next get together. Or you can make them for yourself and eat them alone like I did!  No judgment. 😁 Before I became a widow I was a football widow. If you have a spouse, significant other or partner who loves football as much as my husband did, you know...

 Yesterday I had no idea I was going to make these buffalo garlic glazed chicken nuggets. Scrolling through IG like I do, I saw these glazed chicken nuggets from a restaurant in NYC. I immediately wanted to recreate the recipe and I am so happy I did! Do you count WW points for the oil it’s fried in? My deep fryer is electric so it holds...
