Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza

I must remember to buy red pepper flakes.  I've been using other spicy items that don't really fit with the flavor profile that I want (cayenne, chili, etc).  I still, however, want the heat...  Anyways, with that minor distraction, it still turned out pretty well.

Breakfast Risotto

First, I want to say that this was good, however I had a problem with this recipe.  "4 hot Italian sausages, casings removed."  What does that mean?  Is there some standard hot Italian sausage size?  Beyond that I ended up using about a pound (it started off over, but after it was cooked I started, well, eating it.  But there was plenty left.  The risotto came together pretty quickly and got nice and smooth.

Turkey Meatball Pita Sandwiches

I made a good chuck of meatballs, made the sauce, kinda wished I had nice fresh tomatoes (not the crap that you buy in most stores).  It was pretty good.  Would've been better with lamb.

Pancakes (we've got a lot of extra fruit)

I had some pumpkin spice from last year.  Joseph used some a bit ago, but I figured before I go around and make some pumpkin bread, I should probably get rid of this, so I can buy some relatively fresh new pumpkin spice.  So I put them in the pancakes.  It ended up being most of a smaller container and it went right in there.  It mixed up pretty well and ended up tasting pretty good.  I was pretty happy with the way they turned out.  Served with some of the leftover fruit, a good quick (and cheap) meal.

Tuna Melts

An old favorite.  Certainly a quick thing to do.  Low, slow, and lots of butter.
