Personal Chef

I think my parent's are happy to have me home only because I make them dinner every night. But it is a win-win for me as well because 1) I love to cook 2) I can try new recipes and 3) I don't have to buy the food! I have been home for 2 nights and we have had 2 new meals. 

Friday night we had a chicken stir-fry with rice from the rice machine (I love rice machine rice- so good!) It was one of those meals where you just find things in the fridge and throw it together and it turns out amazing.

Last night I made homemade pizza. I love pizza but homemade pizza is on another level. I had the whole family in the kitchen helping which was a lot of fun. We decided to make 2 pizzas, one with meat and one with veggies. The meat pizza had a red sauce and was topped with mozzarella, parmesan, mini pepperoni's and goat cheese.  The veggie pizza had an EVOO and garlic sauce with mozzarella, parmesan, spinach, tomatoes, black olives and feta.

Everyone loved the pizza! I am hoping that instead of ordering pizza on the weekends my family might start making it more often!

Tonight we are grilling pork chops and I am roasting a variety of veggies! Yum!

Really, there's nothing like homemade pizza...even if it's just sauce and cheese. It's so much better!
