I love appetizers. My family teases me about that, because sometimes I’d much rather munch my way through dinner than have a typical meal. That’s why I love this recipe so much. You get all the taste of pizza with the fun of an appetizer. It’s shareable and fun but super tasty, too.

10 Great Dishes for Kiddie Cooks
My kids love to help out in the kitchen. I started baking with them when they were very small, but it took a long time for me to feel comfortable having them “cook.” I finally decided that it came down to the skills that they knew and the safety factor of the dish they were… Continue reading 10 Great Dishes for Kiddie Cooks
Menu Plan Monday – May 4, 2015
Baseball season is in full swing, and with several rain-outs already, My Little Man is slated to play three games this week – plus volunteer in the concession stand. It’s going to be a doozy of a week. Fortunately for us, his games are late, which makes bedtime crazy but mealtime a bit calmer. Still,… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – May 4, 2015
World Tour: Fruit Galette
We really had fun with French foods, but one of our favorites was the galette. A large free form fruit tart, it was sweet and fun to make. Because this summer has been so crazy hot, we changed the recipe up a bit to make our own individual galettes instead of one big one… Continue reading World Tour: Fruit Galette
World Tour – Italian Lasagna
Lasagna isn’t something I make often, simply because my family just isn’t that fond of noodles. I love it, though, so when we began our study of Italy, I knew it had to be on the menu. After collecting all of the ingredients, I started planning out our day and realized something: this was a… Continue reading World Tour – Italian Lasagna
World Tour – Black Forest Cake
We decided we couldn’t study Germany without making one sweet treat, so we settled on Black Forest Cake. We used this recipe as our starting point. Since we don’t drink coffee, we subbed hot chocolate for that ingredient and swapped out some of the flour for whole wheat. My Big Girl… Continue reading World Tour – Black Forest Cake
World Tour – Germany’s Appelfpannkuchen
Our World Tour began with Germany. We decided to make appelfpannkuchen, a type of pancake with caramelized apples on the bottom – something I thought both kids would like. We used a recipe from Emeril’s There’s a Chef in My World cookbook as our starting point. Since this is not my recipe… Continue reading World Tour – Germany’s Appelfpannkuchen
World Tour – Invent A Cake in France
Now that we’ve spent a few months studying other countries, one thing that stands out to us all is that some are known (more than others) for their cuisine. After watching Ratatouille, we all became even more curious about how to create your own recipe – so we decided to try it. We used Jenae from… Continue reading World Tour – Invent A Cake in France
World Tour – Creative Crepes
This week we ‘jetted’ off to France for another leg of our world tour. As always, we began by finding North Carolina on the globe and then the various continents and countries that we’ve already studied, until we found France. Next we read two books that provide a simple overview of French culture. (France by Alan… Continue reading World Tour – Creative Crepes
Field Work Friday – Ice Cream in a Bag
June is National Dairy Month, and with the heat we’ve been having, I’ve been craving ice cream! We decided to head to a local park and make some. First, though, we had to get some energy out and work up a good sweat. Who can eat ice cream when they’re as cool… Continue reading Field Work Friday – Ice Cream in a Bag
