Thin Crust Pizza

Never in a million years did I think I'd be able to get a thin crust pizza out of my oven that looked like something you'd get from an actual professional pizza parlor with a 1400degree oven. I was wrong -- so very wrong. This pizza is so damn good, ...

3 Comments

Sometimes you want your shrimp to stay nice and long when they're cooked and not curl up like a cute little kitten taking a nap. Especially when you're making something like shrimp tempura, or any kind of battered shrimp so you don't get that thick gloopy undercooked wad of breading in the middle -- yuck. I was so happy to have learned this trick, because it's saved my battered-shrimp-frying ...

How To Reheat Store-bought Taco Shells

You know, one of the main problems with reheating store-bought taco shells is that they often close up in the oven when heating thru, making them super hard to fill later. Then you end up breaking a few and you're forced to have "struggle nachos" instead of tacos. Don't you hate that? I mean, you could stand them up on their tips but that's not always foolproof because sometimes they tip over if ...

Blueberry & Lemon Buttermilk Pancakes

2 Comments

It's finally snowing after weeks and weeks of insanely warm "winter" weather here in VA. Well, it's not really "snowing" but there's a light dusting of hazardous ice particles falling from the sky and barely sticking. It's basically doing more than it has been all winter long...so far.
