Yeah...pizza eggs happened here today.  Had 3 leftover pepperoni slices.  I grabbed an onion and a bell pepper, diced them up and added them to the diced up pizza.  A little extra mozzarella on top of it all too.  Holy crap, that's a beautiful dish:beerchug:

Dry waffles?  Are you insane man?  Ain't nobody got time for that.

 

you've never toasted your bread before making a sandwich?  obviously all breads are not equal, but you can really get some fantastic flavors from it :D

The other night, Mrs. Maveric made a crustless "messy pizza bake," with pepperoni, sausage, onion, bell pepper and sauce, topped with mozzarella. Really delicious, and for me, very keto-friendly. But after dinner, I posited the question of what it would be like in a roll, and the next day for lunch, she heated the leftovers and put it in a bun...it was a bit messy, but still quite delicious!

^^^theres a local pizza chain down here pimping the same thing.....just a bunch of toppings and sauce in a disposable tin, no crust.  $7.99 each, I bet they're making a killing.  I might actually grab a couple of them for dinner tomorrow night.

 

Tonight is semi-vegetarian, lol.  Zucchini lasagne with some home grown (not by me:laugh:) cuke spears, and I'm gonna fry up some diced salami to top the lasagne with.

so we made some of my great-grandma's oatmeal raisin cookies today.  I always like to mix it up with the last couple and try some added ingredients and I think I've struck gold with adding in banana.  it's gloriously fantastic.  :D  I'm doing the entire batch this way next time.  :popcorn:

anybody got any recipes for zucchini?

Plain and simple, broil it. Slice them up, brush melted butter on them, and seasoning (salt, pepper, old bay, etc etc...My mom put on garlic powder and Parmesan cheese). Broil for 9 minutes each side.

Fried zucchini. 

Important first step with all zucchini (grandmother showed me this and swears by it): cut of each end and rub the cutoffs on the now exposed ends. Lots of white foamy stuff will show up, wash that off before doing anything else. Might be an old wife's tale, but I trust my granny and do it every-time. She always said this takes the bitter out of a zucchini.

 

After the above, slice into rounds. You decide how thick to make them. Then get three bowls ready, one with a flour + pepper + seasoning mix, one with egg + milk beaten together until frothy, and the final one with crushed, fine powdered saltine crackers. Take each slice and dredge it in the flour, then egg wash, then press on cracker mixture. Final part is to fry them up golden brown. I recommend peanut oil in a cast iron skillet, but I'm not sure if that really makes a difference. I just use cast iron for everything.

 

Its a summertime staple from my childhood.

 

Pro-tip: While they are still hot, put a small chunk of velveeta on them and let it melt in. Glorious calories for when you are working from sun-up till sun-down, like I used to.

Does anyone have a pizza crust recipe? Or, what pizza crust do you buy for homemade pizzas?

 

 

thin?  thick?  stuffed?  crispy?  for homemade crust I prefer a thick puffy crust.  :drool:  I searched around and this one is approximately what I've done:

Tomato jam

 

My tomato plants are out of control, sadly most of the fruits are fubar because of the excessive rain we've been having here (about 11" over the last couple weeks:sad:).  Most of them are splitting and/or rotting on the stem before I can get to them.  I pulled about 3 lbs worth off today, pared them up (saved the seeds for next years planting) and made a small batch of tomato jam.  This is something you make today to eat tomorrow and later on.  I got about 2 lbs worth of edible fruit after paring, chopped them all up and threw them into a heavy bottom pot.  Added about a1/3 cup of local honey, a splash of apple cider vinegar, some kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.  Simmered the whole mess for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, then let it cool for a bit.  Pushed it all through a colander in the hopes to strain out the skins but that didn't really work out so well, so I just stirred it all together.  Ended up with about 1.5 cups of the most concentrated, dead-of-summer tomato jam you could ever imagine.  Once cooled and congealed, it will make one heck of a good spread on crostini, BLT's, or dolloped onto a plate with some fresh basil and mozzarella cheese, among other things:beerchug:
