Veggie Pizza


Veggie Pizza

Crescent rolls
Cream cheese
Sour cream
Mayo
Garlic powder
Tri-color peppers
Broccoli
Cherry tomatoes

Prep

I use tri-color peppers because it makes the dish look pretty
(My Mother always said that a pretty dish often means a healthy dish)
Dice up peppers into smaller pieces and dry off with paper towel
Chop up broccoli into very small pieces and dry off with paper towel
I use cherry tomatoes because they tend to be less juicy
Mix everything together and add a pinch or two of salt
Place in mesh colander and let the salt remove more of the moisture

Let cream cheese get to room temp
Use a mixer to get it fluffy
Mix in mayo, sour cream, and garlic powder

I used a round pan, but you can use whatever size you have handy
The reason I use round is because it's easier to separate crescent triangle and spread out in round pan
I also like the way it slices


Bake the crescent dough for 10-15 minutes
I gauge by how brown the dough is
If you like you're fluffier and soft, take it out around 10-12 minutes
If you like it crunchier, take it out around 13-15 minutes
Everyone's oven is different, so be sure to factor that in
When the dough has cooled down, spread the cream cheese mixture onto it
Sprinkle your pepper, broccoli, tomato mixture over the top
I tend to be generous with how much I put on top because I love vegetables
You may not want to put on as much, which is fine
Everyone makes dishes to their own tastes/preferences


Put in fridge to chill for an hour or so to make sure everything sets

This is a great party appetizer, but I enjoy eating it for a snack as well

Always Remember ...

From the Master Herself: I'm never going to be a Michelin Star Chef, have my own Food Network TV show, or own a restaurant. And I'm definitely never going to cook a 100% picture perfect meal. And I am 110% okay with that. We see all of these beautiful masterpieces on TV, but don't think for a moment that all of these things were done in a single shot. No one is perfect. Ingredients are missed. Things are burned. Breads don't rise. Cream curdles. Eggs are dry. Souffles collapse. Etc. Etc. My point is, things happen. You just have to learn to roll with it. It took me a very long time to realize that as long as it tastes good, I don't need it to look like it came out of a magazine.  Random Fact: Some of the gorgeous food you see in magazines, isn't even real food. Don't believe me? Check out this article . Cheers.

All the Noms.

Summer Sausage Stuffed Peppers You can use hot or sweet peppers for this recipe.  I ended up going with sweet peppers but added extra spice to my filling for a little zing. These peppers can be kept whole, sliced with a slit in the middle and stuffed, or cut in half and filled like veggie boats. You can cook the meat ahead of time but I did not. I only ever list ingredients, not measurements, because I'm THAT person who never measures, and THAT person that changes their recipes to what I have on-hand, so they're literally never the same. Everyone has different tastes, as well as, texture differences, so I always leave it up to the chef.  I softened cream cheese in a large bowl, cooked onions in EVOO and butter and added them ontop of the cream cheese to help it soften. I then added raw pork sausage (it's what was on-hand but any meat will do or go vegetarian and don't add any) an egg to bind (you can use milk if you'd ...

All about that Vegan Mayo

So, I had definitely planned on making both Julia and Jacques' mayonnaise recipes first, but after going out and buying all of the ingredients, getting stuck behind a customer that wasn't understanding something and held up the line for 5 minutes, dealing with a rude cashier, having to go to another store because the first store didn't have some of the ingredients I needed, waiting in line at that store for 10 minutes because they only had one cashier, and last but not least, having some old lady steal my pull-through! I decided I'd tackle one of the vegan recipes I found, because after everything that happened, I just needed something simple and easy to make. First one up!  From My Bowl: 1 cup whole raw cashews (Soaked overnight) 1 tsp fresh lemon juice 1 tsp distilled white vinegar 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard 3/4 tsp salt 1/4 - 1/3 cups cold water Drain your soaked Cashews, if they are still in liquid. Add the Cashews, ...
