SGCC Rewind: Picadillo Pizza

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

picadillo-7-web

Yesterday was my birthday.  At my age, birthdays pretty much come and go without too much fanfare.  We usually go out for a nice dinner somewhere and call it a day.  Since Mr. SGCC was out of town on business, we decided to postpone our celebration until this weekend.  Mini SGCC insisted that I shouldn’t have to cook on my “special” day, so she decided to take charge of last night’s dinner arrangements.  She did what any normal, red-blooded American teenager would do. She ordered pizza.  Except, she didn’t just order any old pizza. She got us a taco pizza.

I’ll admit, I was skeptical about that taco pizza at first.  But about three slices in, I was sold.  There wasn’t anything elaborate about the pizza – just taco meat, tomatoes, scallions and some lettuce, topped with a little sour cream and salsa – but it was pretty darn tasty!

It got me to thinking about how versatile pizza can be.  I started imagining all kinds of different ingredient combinations that would work on a pizza.  How about a pulled pork pizza?  Or, a Korean kimchi pork belly pizzaMu Shu pizza, anyone? A linguine and clams pizza, without the linguine?  Or even a bacon and eggs pizza?  See what I mean?  The possibilities are virtually endless.  read more >>

It’s always so nice to give (and get) a lovely heart-shaped box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day.  But, think how much more special such a gift would be if the chocolates were homemade with lots of extra love thrown in!  Don’t think you could do it?  Think again.  Homemade …

SGCC Rewind: Meatloaf Involtini

Monday, January 18, 2010 24 Comments

One of the very first recipes I ever posted here at SGCC was for this Meatloaf Involtini.  I created the recipe over two years ago for National Meatloaf Appreciation Day, sponsored by Serious Eats.  Since then, I’ve tweaked and poked the recipe here and there to make it …

Summers Last Hurrah

Sunday, September 6, 2009 21 Comments

Sadly but truly, the lazy days of summer have come to an end, for this year at least.  This Monday is Labor Day, founded in the United States over a hundred years ago as a “workingmen’s holiday”.  According to History.com, “As the Industrial Revolution took hold of the nation, …

kiss the cook!

I’m a professional musician, aspiring chef, wife, mother, daughter and sister, who used to be a lawyer in a previous life. My love of food comes from a long line of wonderful and creative Italian home cooks who didn’t always have a lot, but knew how to make a lot out of what they had. I hope that you enjoy yourself while you’re here, and visit often. read more >>
