I think I'm turning Italian!!!! I am posting my 2nd Italian recipe in a row! I never do that!! I don't know if you guys without a blog  know this, us bloggers have goggle plus. Its like facebook for your blog. I have this cummunity, you can make groups and you join to groups with  topics you like. It is like at middle schools you have all the clubs. I made one called healthy eating! Its were we have disscutions on healthy dishes. (you have discussions and meetings online). This is like and Allstar healthy dish! Fresh dough thats grilled, fresh sauce made of fresh ingredients not an overload of cheese and veggies as toppings!The best part is, Kids eat it!!! You know when kids like don't eat there veggies? Come on, even I did that was I was younger! Well they eat this in seconds!!!! When I make this for dinner I make extra!! So let me tell you some footnotes,

**Footnotes from the Chef-
If you don't have a thermometer, water should feel very warm when you touch it
**To knead the dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hand to keep the dough from sticking. To knead push the dough away fold it and turn. Keep repeating that motion, add more flour if it becomes to sticky
Make Ahead: Dough (but NOT individual the pizza crust) may be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. Punch down and roll out just before grilling.

Make sure to follow those!!! I wrote them for a reasoning they are super important!!!! Well, BYE!!!!!!

Prep-20 minutes
Cook- 8 minutes
Ready in- 28 minutes

 Ingredients- 

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed 

1 envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast  

1 tablespoon sugar  

1 1/2 tsp salt 

1 1/3 cups very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F) 

Additional flour for rolling 

Additional oil for grilling 

Pizza sauce 

Fresh spinach,blanched
1 cup chopped onions, sauted and seasoned 
Shredded mozzarella cheese 

Directions- 

Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat. 

Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead(see footnotes)on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth  but not sticky, about 5 minutes. 

Divide dough into 8 portions. Roll dough on a well-floured counter to about 8-inch circles 

Brush both sides of crust with additional oil. Using hands, lift each crust carefully and place on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bottom is lightly browned and top looks set. Using long handled tongs, remove crust from grill, grilled side up, to a platter 

Add sauce and top the grilled side of each pizza crust. Excess sauce or toppings makes the pizza hard to handle. Repeat with remaining pizzas. 

Carefully slide each pizza onto the grill. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until bottom of crust is browned and cheese is melted. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

Put blanched spinach and Suted onions on top

Serve and enjoy!!!!

Beef and Egg noodles

When I was a kid I loved egg noodles!! I would ask my grandma to make me some with butter before volleyball practice all the time!!!!!! There are lots of things like Beef in Red Wine sauce on egg noodles but this has a quick spin!!! Beef is my favorite type of meat! I like it better then pork and chicken. It is so flavorful and juicy and its not extremely fatty like pork! It stand AMAZING right on its own and with a little salt and pepper you will rock the house. Beef and egg noodles are really commonly used. I love to keep traditional flavors and combinations. Its like peanut butter and jelly, they taste good with other things but great with each other!!! You use a lot of soup and creams from Cambells( or another brand if that is what you like) so you have this amazing sauce that I dream about!!! No really, I had a dream I was eating this last night! Like I said, I love egg noodles with butter so I couldn't let butter miss out on the party! So I added some butter!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg!!, I hate this whole daylight savings!!!!!!!!! I woke up at 5:30 because I put my clock up 2 hours so I woke up ay 5:30 not knowing if it was 6:30 or 5:30!! It looked dark and I looked on my phone and it said 5:30 and I almost screamed!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy because  I was so tired and I could sleep another hour! I was like Thank The LORD!!!!!!! Then it really was  6:30 and I wanted to cry!!! Tomorrow are MSA  testing which is this 3 hour test so lets pry I don't fall asleep of bordness!!!! Oh, Its MSA tomorrow, I should probably go make sure I don't need to do anything so BYE

The Best of the Best Fried Butterflied Shimp

 New World Record!!!!!! Well,a new Delightful Delicious Dinner record!!!! The best Fried recipe yet!! Now remember, this is a "so far record". This means that the record can always break. I could always find something better to break the record. But that will probably take forever, there is no topping this!!!!!!!!! So, how are y'all? Tired? Me TOO!!! I hate when we lose an hour of sleep!! I need my sleep!!!!What I love about this is, its not overly covered. Meaning, when you make the badder, you don't overly coat the shrimp. The star of this dish is the shrimp so I didn't want to overly coat the shrimp. I don't like having layers of fried stuff. I don't want the dish to be fried badder with a shrimp filling. I got my shrimp fresh from the butcher already peeled,deveined, and butterflied. You could bye frozen shrimp but fresh makes a big difference.If you want to do any of these things yourself be my guest. OMG, so y'all know the best pixtar movie there is, Beauty and the Beast? So I was watching it yesturday with some kids in my family and the song , Be my guest came on. I haven't seen that movie for a long time and I was so happy to hear it! I was like singing and dancing along with it! I love pixtar movies! Who dose not right?! I have the whole song memorized my heart! My neighboor was here to and she told me not to be scared of the beast! It was super cute. She sat on my lap and when ever the beast came she would jump!!!!!!!! So, let me tell y'all another story. In 2011Im went on this cruise to Mexico.It was one of my favorite vacations!!!!!They had a shrimp bar! Any shrimp you could imagine, BBQ , Baked, Coconut, Coconut lime, Steamed,etc, and my favorite fried!!!! I tried a little of everything! The problem is with fried food is it can be very unhealthy!!!!`The oil is grease. I wouldn't call these healthy but they are not bad. Sorry we couldn't talk much but, Once Upon A Time is on!!!!!!!!

Kids Favorite Lemonade

Did y'all know that lemonade has gone up like $2 since last summer!!!! That is a lot!!!!Plus the Lemonade is pure sugar!!!! It taste like liquid sugar! The main problem is kids love it! I will go down during the lunch periods and lots of kids have soda, cool aid pure sugar drinks, and this pure sugar lemonade.I hate to see kids drinking all that and having bags of chips and mountains of candy. I wanted to see if I could make a delicious lemonade. I still added some sugar because with out it it taste like bitter water. But I reduced it as much as possible so there wasn't to much. You have the ingredients in your house. So if you are grocery shopping with your kid and they ask you to but them a fruit punch, say that you can make lemonade at home. The great thing is they can't even taste the difference!!! If you put it in a bottle they would have no idea. But it is so much healthier and more fresh then store bought. Now you know it is freshly squeezed, y'all don't know how they make those juice boxes. I do admit, I love juice boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are sugary so they are really sweet but this is much better and super refreshing!!!!! I know it is still cold out and there is supposed to be like 8-12 inches of snow.  So you won't go on a long walk come back in your house sweating but it is still nice to have a fresh refreshing drink!!!!!! I hope it snows!!! I love snow!!!!! School gets delayed and I get to sleep in! Then the days are shorter!!!!! What you know its snowing right now!!!!!!! Its snowing pretty hard so with some luck we could have enough to go sleding. I herd we are supposed to get like 10 inches!!!!!!!!!!!! So no school today!!!!!! I slept in till like 9:30!!!!AWESOME!!!!!

 

Y'all know what they say. When life gives you lemons make lemonade!!!!!!! I will be honest, I don't get that. But I follow it because who dose not love lemonade!!!! Really, I have never met any one who dose not like lemonade. When I go to Chick-Fil-A I still get lemonade and its done in less then a minute. I used to be this powder called Cristal light and you put it in a pitcher of cold water and you put the powder in and mix it!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is actually pretty good. But one day I just made homemade lemonade and I stoped buying it!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am dead serios, I will be thirsty and just make a pitcher of lemonade any day any time!!!!!! Well I want to play in the snow so bye!

Ingredients 

1-1/2 cups and 1 tablespoon white sugar 

7-1/4 cups water 

1-1/3 cups lemon juice 

Direction-In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and stir to dissolve sugar. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.Remove any seeds from lemon juice, but leave pulp(optional).
