Food Porn

for 3 days now the kids been asking 'when are you gonna make pizza again' (it's been almost 2 weeks since the last time).
So today I decided, it's pizza-day!
Preparing the dough was the first step off course, because without it you would just have spaghetti-sauce i guess.
Nicely filled with yeast-farts, herbs and spices


and spread on the baking tray with a generous layer of olive oil

That doesn't look like a pizza, i guess we need some toppings



tomato-sauce, emmental, mozarella, chopped bell paprika, portobello and ham, some fresh cherry-tomatoes, olives and more herbs and spices

Next stop....the oven


Next stop....attack!

That looks fantastic and yummy!

a reply to: intergalactic fire

Looks great, I like the choice of toppings.

That would be perfect with a nice bottle of wine or a couple of cold beers.

a reply to: TNMockingbird
Thanks
Well i don't care about the looks, if it taste good i'm twice as happy

I've had a bottle of Normandy cider, not bad if you ask me but wine or beer should work also

a reply to: intergalactic fire

That works just as well. Thanks for the contribution.

Does written food porn count?

Peanut butter and maple syrup dip (mixed together) with sprinkled cinnamon. Great apple dip.

Pics or it didn't happen.

A simple fare, I must share.



Pikelets drenched in maple syrup and sprinkled upon with edible embellishments most glorious!
Pikelets?? Smaller, thicker, sugarry versions of pancakes. I add extra sugar and a dash of vanilla essence to mine. I highly recommend them!

a reply to: kaelci

Very nice, I like the addition of the candle.

Did you use maple syrup to make our Canadian members happy?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

You caught me out!

But no, I honestly love maple syrup. no pancake or pikelet is complete without it.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

What a great thread! It's very inspiring.

I made some home made mini pizzas a couple of months ago, and took a picture.
I like to keep my pizzas simple.

Sauce:
3 very ripe tomatoes
corn, mushrooms
oregano, salt, freshly crushed black pepper
1 of those tiny cans of Hungarian tomato pure

Shredded Mozzarella cheese on top
I got the pizza dough recipe online, anyone will do.



And, yes, I like my pizza extra cheesy, it's more like cheese with a little pizza.


The second dish here was an Asian inspired cuisine.
I used :
2 chicken breasts, boned, skinned, cubed
salt, black pepper, sesame oil
crushed garlic, onions
long green beans, carrots
soy sauce, and 2 TSP of honey

We ate it with plain white rice, and a simple lettuce & cucumber salad salad with lemon and olive oil dressing.

All I can say is YUM!!!
And not just because I'm Canadian. And I also love maple syrup.

As a pizza fiend I am always happy to meet another one, thanks for the contribution. I am not familiar with the Hungarian tomato puree that you use. What type of flavor does it have?

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Thank you, likewise.

This is the one I use. It comes in 2 sizes.



I prefer this one to others, because it tastes fresher and is less salty than other tomato purees.

a reply to: Harut

I typically use Italian purees for my cooking but I will give this one a shot if I can find it.

Okay, so I am late getting the Salsa in the fridge due to me not thinking about the stores running out of magoes this week...

But, it should be fabulous after the flavors marry for a few hours anyway.

Rest of the menu includes stuffed jalapenos and quesadillas!
I think I should test my margarita recipe just to be sure I've got it right!


*edit*

I'll post some pretty photos later Auggie. Well, crap phone and all! LOL

a reply to: TNMockingbird

That looks fantastic, great color combination from the ingredients. I love homemade stuffed jalapenos, what did you put in them?

Hopefully the drinks turn out great too. I think I may do an tequila-inspired cocktail later because you got me motivated.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Who knew I could be motivational?!

I am going with goat cheese that I will spice up a little with some garlic and herbs.
Cream cheese (low fat) and shredded parm.
Green onion, sage, and cilantro.

YUMMY!!!!!
*forgot the most important part, grill them*

a reply to: TNMockingbird

Those sound ridiculous. Now I am envious, I could probably eat twenty of them.

Yeah, well all this tequila/Cinco talk got me inspired. I will post and interesting cocktail in honor of your creations.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Okay so finally (don't get an iphone!) here is the rest!
*Forgive Apple for they know not what they do!*
Beautiful peppers!

Became YUMMY munchies!
Recipe:
7oz goat cheese (if you can find it seasoned already bonus otherwise add garlic and herbs...like rosemary, basil, etc)
Then approx 4-6 oz lowfat cream cheese or Neufchatel.
Seeded tomatoes about 1 cup.
Salt and Pepper.
A little lime juice for flair AND you are making Margaritas anyway!
Grill about 10-15 minutes! Let me tell you, they are rich!


I know it's Mother's Day and all but, it's 'smack your mama good!'

If you have any mango left over I don't see why you couldn't put it in the chicken quesadillas. These are filled with sauteed peppers (red, yellow, and green) onion, garlic, and cheddar and monterey jack cheese. Cook them in the oven. Ahead of time. Why stand over a griddle?! Just season chicken with:
Paprika
Onion and Garlic powder
Cayenne pepper
Cumin
