I was chosen along with 20 other bloggers to participate in a cook-along of Emeril’s soon to be published cookbook, Kicked-Up Sandwiches. Over the next 3 weeks, we will each cook up some delicious looking sandwiches of our choice (at least twice a week). We were given the okay to cook and discuss whatever dishes [...]
If you can recite the states in alphabetical order, you will realize that I have missed a state (and pizza). Alaska was up next, but due to my fear of completely ruining that pie, I decided I had best leave that one up to the pros. If you would like to give Alaska’s pizza a [...]
Mary of One Perfect Bite and some other women food bloggers (including myself) are blogging our way through the 50 Women Game Changers In Food published by Gourmet in May ’11. Some of the women on the list you will know, others you may not, but either way, this will be a great 50 week journey to learn [...]
Hop on a plane – or drive down the street – and visit Trattoria Centrale in Birmingham, Alabama for their BLT pizza. Why?

Wow, that’s a mouthful. Not just the name, but the pizza itself. But, it doesn’t fully let you know what is all in this – Meatballs, onions, mushrooms, garlic, fresh mozzarella, and goat cheese. So, you can see why I had a hard time naming this one. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Nough said. Last night was [...]
I headed back to my March issue of Food Network Magazine for this challenge when I saw this chocked full-o goodness pizza by Guy Fieri. I love Guy and “I wouldn’t kick his meals out of bed”, but he is known for using tons of ingredients, albeit lots of flavor. This pizza is no exception. As [...]
I don’t know why, but every time I make Stromboli I feel the need to run around touting my pseudo Italian accent – “Who wants-a Stromboli, Stromboli – eh”? It seems this is only funny to me, but I like doing it. I think it makes my Italian cooking more authentic. I think Stromboli is better [...]
Making pizza is fun for the whole family and you can have fun putting together so many different flavor combinations.
