What's for Dinner: Breadsticks

Tweet

For Ayaz's birthday, yesterday, I made my bubble-up pizza, a chocolate cake [with choclate frosting] with rolo candies and drizzled with caramel... and these breadsticks!

You need:

• Pizza dough
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Italian seasoning
• Garlic powder
• Basil Powder

This particular day, I used the Pillsbury refrigerated pizza dough [thin crust]. You can find my pizza dough recipe by clicking here.

What I did was:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
2. Roll out the pizza dough onto my pan.
3. Drizzle olive oil on top, and use a brush to evenly spread over the dough.
4. Sprinkle italian seasoning, garlic powder, and basil powder on top.
5. Bake in my preheated oven for about 10 minutes.

Cut them into whatever sized pieces you want. Serve them with marinara sauce!

What's for Dinner: Tomato Soup

Tweet

A few weeks ago my cousin made tomato soup on a cold day that was absolutely delicious... and I finally made it today. What I love about it is how easy it is to make, the fact that I didn't need to let it roast for 40-60 minutes [I just used the broiler instead] and that it didn't need chicken broth, cream, or anything of that sort. Simple, quick, and delicious. My kind of recipe.

What you need:

• 1 pound of tomatoes, halved
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 5-6 garlic cloves
• salt and pepper, to taste
• basil and oregano, to taste
• Olive oil

What I did was:

1. Season the halved tomatoes, sliced onion, and garlic cloves with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
2. Set under the broiler until they are roasted. Doesn't take more than 5-10 minutes.
3. Blend everything in your blender until it is nice and smooth.
4. Add basil and oregano and warm over low heat.

Serve warm!

What's for Dinner: Chocolate Chip Squares

Tweet

One of my favorite desserts [and one of my go-to desserts] are my Seven Layer Bars. Today, I did a very simple version of that by just using chocolate chips-- not nuts, coconut flakes or peanut butter [for my picky brother!]

What I used:

• 2 and 1/2 cups [approximately] of graham cracker crumbs
• 1 [14 ounce] can of condensed milk
• [about] 1/2 to 3/4 cup of mini [semi-sweet] chocolate chips

What I did was:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. I took the graham crackers and put them in a large ziploc bag and crushed them (you can also just get the crushed graham crackers). Once it is all crushed, mix the graham crackers with the melted butter well (I did it with my hands because it was the easiest way to mix it and keep it from clumping).
3. I used a 9 by 13 dish to make this in (spray with non-stick spray). So in it, I put in the graham cracker mixture and pressed it in well covering the whole bottom of the dish in a thin even layer.
4. I sprinkled mini chocolate chips all over the graham cracker layer.
5. On top of the chocolate chips, I evenly poured a can of condensed milk all over.
6. Bake in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Once it comes out of the oven, let it cool before cutting them into bars/squares.

What's for Dinner: Not Baked Nutella Cheesecake

Tweet

Yesterday I made a [not baked] Nutella cheesecake [pie] type of thing.

It's a super easy [as always] dessert to make and it was a crowd pleaser [young and old]. The best part? it takes mere minutes to put together!

What I used:

• Oreo pie crust [store-bought or homemade]
• 1 [8 ounce] package of cream cheese, softened
• [about] 2/3 cup Nutella
• 1 (8 ounce) contained of cool whip, softened [more if you want to decorate the top like I did]

What I did was:

1. Mix your softened cream cheese and nutella together until they are well combined.
2. Fold in the cool whip, making sure it is incorporated in well [and there are no white streaks visible].
3. Transfer your mixture onto your Oreo pie crust.
4. This part is optional, but if you want to garnish the top like I did: use whip cream to decorate and add chocolate shavings or grated chocolate on top. Adding chopped hazelnuts would be the icing on the cake!
5. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.

By the way, you can see my [baked] version of my Nutella cheesecake by clicking here!
