Pizza, Pizza!!

What a fun class this was! We ate pizza until we couldn't eat any more. The no fail pizza crust was a favorite as was the homemade red sauce. What's not to like about pizza???

Phil's turkey recipes

The classes this week centered around knife skills and turkey. Phil Barkman, from the meat department at Walnut Creek Cheese showed us how to use our knives, store them and sharpen them. He also taught us how to carve a turkey and provided some recipes for left-over turkey. It was a great week and we hope to have Phil join us again in August.

Thanks for visiting my blog and have fun in your kitchen!

Make ahead meals

We didn't get to have a class last Tuesday so we worked twice as hard on Friday on some make-ahead recipes.

Linda cut the recipe for 3 meat sauce in half and cooked it for 30 minutes in the pressure cooker and it was absolutely delicious.

Lydia and Becky whipped up the yummy peanut butter dessert and Nathaniel and Kim made ham and cheese sandwiches with a poppy seed spread. Nathaniel also made baked oatmeal. Yum!

Thanks for your hard work!

Maple Apple Oatmeal Bread - Yummy!!

What great classes we had this week! We made this delicious bread that was amazing to look as and just as good to eat. Thanks to each and every one of you that made our classes so special.

Pressure cooker class from week of March 18.

Recipes from the Make your own Mixes class on March on March 5 and 8, 2013

It was fun to see how we could make our own mixes for popular convenience items and regulate the types and amounts of seasonings we used. I was inspired to go home and make some rice a roni mixes as well as some hamburger helper mixes to have on hand for those nights when we need a quick dinner. I also purchased some one pound packages of ground beef and ground turkey to keep int the freezer to use with the mixes. Now I have no excuse to order take-out! :)
