The Tostada Connection
Love Mexican food? Give your taste buds a treat and have a slice of tostada pizza with a crispy, healthier cauliflower crust. Trust me on this one, it works! Garnish with sour cream, salsa, pickled jalapenos, and additional Cheddar cheese.
Overnight Breakfast Casserole
This overnight breakfast casserole is pretty and colorful, with a good balance of vegetables and sausage, tender eggs, and hash browns. It's easy to put together, and makes enough for a crowd.
Tavern Pizza
Tavern pizza, the original Chicago-style pie, has a super thin, crispy crust with almost no rise. The toppings used here are a great combo of spicy and sweet — the pickled pepperoncini add a nice acidic balance to the pepperoni and cheese. Customize to your liking. Using a rolling pin to fully flatten the edges of the crust is different from how you would normally shape a pizza crust but this helps keep it thin. Add red chile flakes and Parmesan to finish.
