Make Dough & $ave Dough

all done and so delicious!

I recently tried my hand at a homemade pizza with a wheat crust. I've been trying my hand at a lot lately... lol. Needless to say, it was the BOMB dot com! It turned out fabulously and I was amazed at how simple it was to make. It will take a lot for me to buy another pizza from the local pizza chain. It was just that good! This is a must try for anyone who loves being in the kitchen. You just got to have "make a pizza from scratch" checked off your list. Check out these process photos

Herbaceous Herb Garden

 (from left to right: Basil, oregano, dill, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, and parsley)
I love cooking with fresh herbs! Whenever a recipe calls for fresh herbs, I imagine myself walking over to my patio garden and picking the herbs I need. However, this dream hasn't been a reality until recently. I've been thinking about planting an herb garden for a while.  Growing your own herbs is more sustainable than buying from your local grocery, and not to mention more affordable.

Fun, Fast, & Frugal: 4 Ingredient Pasta

Looking for a fast and frugal entrée for tonight? Try this super easy pasta that takes the same amount of time it takes to read this blog! This started out as a "I'm so hungry and I don't have money to get groceries" meal. But it ended up being one of my favorite weekday staples. It's made from items you should normally have in your pantry:

Somewhere Over the Rainbow... Cake

I first wanted to make a rainbow cake when a coworker showed me a picture of one on this blog post: Whisk Kid. Ever since I saw it, I became infatuated with the idea of making one. It looked challenging, interesting, and cool and I wanted one for myself. Plus, it ended up being a great finale to Easter Sunday's dinner. Baker beware, if you are not accustomed to making multiple layer cakes, then be prepared for some sweat equity on this one. Baking a 6 layer cake ain't no tomfoolery. This cake wore me out! I need to exercise more... lol.

crock POT roast

I'm slow cooking a pot roast in my new crock pot today! I'm looking forward to a succulent roast and veggies when I return home after work today. I will update with the results soon! So excited :)
