Is Friday night Pizza Night at your house? Some people enjoy making pizza from scratch, and others prefer to quickly heat up a frozen pizza from the grocery store.

Go to their website, and find the Woodstock’s nearest you, by clicking on the link that says “locate us”. You can find their deals scattered all over their page! They have something called “All the Time Deals”, … Continue reading →

Non-Seafood Lenten Meals

What’s for dinner during Lent? Two words: Fish fry. Some families live and die by Fish Fry Fridays during Lent, but my clan is not one of them. Heck, my young daughter refuses to eat fish more than once a month, so weekly doses of seafood often result in hunger strikes (which, I suppose is not entirely inappropriate during Lent). If your family is tiring of the same ol’ Friday night fish stick dinner, then consider the following non-seafood Lenten recipes. Not only are they simple to make, they are also incredibly inexpensive: VEGETARIAN PIZZA POCKETS Ingredients: 12 Rhodes Texas … Continue reading →

Simple Game Day Party Recipes

I just got an email from Noodles & Company offering me a free bowl of my favorite noodles if I show up to the restaurant decked out in Green Bay Packers paraphernalia. Nice… except I don’t own any Packers gear. Noodles & Company’s special NFL playoff promotion is clever, but since I don’t have any green and gold outfits, I guess I be making my own party dishes for the big weekend wild-card games, such as: VEGETARIAN STUFFED MUSHROOMS Ingredients: 1 pound mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs 2 … Continue reading →

Bowl Game Bites

College football bowl games are in full swing, and so are the parties that celebrate the championship madness. And what’s a party without great eats?

Angry Dad Uses Pizza to Punish Kid

A father in Florida may never look at pizza the same way again. Ditto for his kid. When the Domino’s guy shows up at your home with a half-pepperoni, half-sausage pizza, I’m pretty sure he’s not thinking his delivery is going to be used as a weapon. Ditto for the rest of the world. Not so much for a father from Florida. According to reports, a 38-year-old Gainesville dad was recently arrested for hitting his daughter with a pizza slice. (Yes, a slice of pizza!) Police say the man was charged with one count of child abuse without great harm, … Continue reading →

Sexy Valentine’s Day Recipes

Raw oysters, caviar and chocolate are classic aphrodisiacs, but what about artichokes and other seafood? Apparently, scallops and artichokes also have mood-enhancing properties and are highly recommended eats on Valentine’s Day. (At least according to the “food experts” I consulted for this piece.) Just in time for Love Day, the following sexy treats should help spice up your dinner plans. If you really want to heat things up during mealtime, I would suggest indulging in these dishes sans utensils. Instead, use your fingers to feed the Artichoke Pizza to your sweetie. After all, fewer utensils to wash means more time … Continue reading →

Simple Tips for Dealing with an Allergy in Marriage

Here are some simple tips for cooking when one person has a wheat and gluten allergy. If it is a pasta dish, I will put wheat pasta on in one saucepan for him and rice and corn pasta in a separate saucepan for me. The sauce that goes with the pasta will always be gluten free. If I’m making lasagna, I use just gluten free pasta rather than fuss around with two separate dishes. Visitors to our place have commented how good my lasagna tastes. If I crumb fish or rissoles it will be in rice crumbs. Any cakes including … Continue reading →

Pumpkin Pizza

If begging were an Olympic event my young daughter would have more gold medals than Michael Phelps. The day before Halloween she saw a jack-o’-lantern shaped pizza complete with a pepperoni mouth, olive eyes and a mozzarella cheese nose. Once she saw it she refused to leave the store without it. I told her we could make the same pie at home for half the price. No dice. The entire time we were in the store she badgered, begged and pleaded for the pizza. Long story short, we left without the pizza. However, I did promise her that we would … Continue reading →

Scrumptious Spooky Treats for Your Halloween Buffet

Seventeen days and counting until ghosts and ghouls come knocking. Are you ready? If you are planning a Halloween Monster Bash to celebrate the haunted holiday you might consider adding these simple yet scrumptious treats to your menu. Both were served at my daughter’s playgroup Halloween luncheon last year. Each mom was given a Halloween-themed recipe from a magazine, cookbook or newspaper and asked to make it as creepy as possible. In the end the buffet table was filled with Tombstone Brownies, Pumpkin Face Pizzas, and ghost, pumpkin, bat, bone and cat shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (using cookie … Continue reading →

Special After School Treat—Chocolate Pizza

You survived the send off and now you only have a few more hours before the first day of the new school year ends. That’s more than enough time to whip up these special treats. Growing up my mom would always have a tasty homemade treat waiting for us when we got home from the first day of school. My brothers and I would join my mom at the kitchen counter; chow down on our ooey-gooey goodies and share details of our first day back at “prison” (my youngest brother’s nickname for school). If you want to welcome your children … Continue reading →
