Yummy Yummy Yummy I Got Love in My Tummy!

I made dinner for my family tonight! Mrs. Ackermann taught me how to make pizza on Sunday, so I made two pepperoni pizzas, and then a peach pie of my own creation. Here are the recipes.

Pizza

Dough:

• almost 4 cups of flour
• about 2 cups of water around 100 degrees <-- actually important, I've been told
• a small fistfull of salt
• a smaller fistfull of sugar
• a large fistful of Italian seasoning
• a packet of dry yeast

Combine all of the ingredients, adding the water until the dough is spreadable and moist but not sticky or gooey. Spread out on a baker's stone, barbeque grill, or baking sheet.

Sauce:

• one can of tomato sauce
• one large can of tomato puree
• half an onion
• a bit of extra virgin olive oil
• a garlic
• oregano

Chop up the onions and garlic very finely and brown the onions in the olive oil. Combine all ingredients into a sauce pan and keep it simmering for about a half hour.

Put the sauce on the pizza so all surfaces are covered except an inch around the circumfrence. Put whatever kind of cheese (my favorite is Munster) and toppings (olives!) on the top, and put it in a preheated oven at 425 degrees. Check it after 15 minutes to see if the crust is starting to brown around the edges. Take it out once the crust is firm.



Jess's Peach Delight

• store-bought pie crust (I'm going to make my own next time!)
• canned peaches (next time I'll try fresh ones)
• spice cake mix
• toffee bits
• butter

Pour the peaches into the pie crust and the cake mix on top of the peaches, stiring the mix into the sugary substance the peaches are canned in until the mix is moist, but not so that it is all mixed up. Put the toffee bits all over the top, and dot dobs of butter on the top to glaze the cake mix. Stick that baby in the oven for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Let it cool for about an hour, or if you make this before the rest of the meal, go ahead and eat it whenever you're done with dinner. It'd probably be good a la mode.


See, if you make up a recipe, you get to name it! That recipe will forever be known as "Jess's Peach Delight." I will totally make it for you if you ask me to, and the pizza, too!


This weekend is going to be sooo much fun! Tomorrow I'm going to Disneyland with Cody, Sydney, and Kaufmann, and then on Saturday, I'm going to the Getty Museum with Cody! Disneyland and an art museum?! Woohoo!
