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.
