More "almost" Triple Threat

Cookies with semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, & bacon.

Pizza on Pretzel Dough

It was a two pizza kind of day, this one with the same dough I made for the pretzels.  It doesn't taste too pretzelly (is that a word??) but still very good. I think I know what to do next time to fix that, but we'll see....   Muir Glen sauce, colby and muenster cheeses.


I Made Pretzels Again...

Same recipe as before, this time Shane helped.


They turned out just as good!



Pizza

Dough from Whole Foods Market, Muir Glen sauce, colby and muenster cheeses.  The dough was a bit uncooperative but it tastes great!

Homemade Soft Pretzels

I was eating a microwavable soft pretzel this morning and thought to myself, I should try to make these.  I found a recipe online and went for it.  The recipe was easy to make and they came out great!


Next time I think I'll try to stuff them with cheese!

And Dessert…

Homemade shortcake biscuits and whip cream, with strawberries.
Delicious!

Saturday Night Dinner

My parents came over for dinner tonight. Dana made BBQ chicken sandwiches with homemade cole slaw, green beans with grilled onions, and mashed potatoes. A great dinner, or I guess it could be breakfast for me… gotta work tonight.

Greetings! from Philly's Best


Philly's Best has four locations, in Chicago and Evanston.  I ordered from the one in Greek Town, at 769 W. Jackson Chicago, IL. 60606.
 312-715-9800
They are "Chicago's favorite place for the original tastes of Philadelphia."  They offer appetizers, salads, oven baked grinders, pizza, chicken, cheese steaks, & much more.  Check out their menu.


On my first(of many) trips to Philly about 8 years ago, I fell in love with cheese steaks.  There are many impostors in the Chicagoland area.  Philly's Best is not that.  Everything was right with this sandwich, and to top it off they offer Cheez Whiz, which you don't always find in this area. In addition to the sandwich I also got seasoned fries, and best of all they deliver!  Working overnights downtown it's nice to know they're a phone call and a short wait away.  I couldn't of been happier.


The seasoned fries...



& the cheese steak, wit whiz...




My only complaint was that when I first called, I was put on hold for 5 minutes, I had to call back and order.  It was 1 a.m. Regardless, I will definitely indulge again in the future when the mood strikes.

A New Kind of Threat

Homemade marshmallows! Chocolate & Bacon!! These are trouble. Double trouble maybe??

The "almost" Triple Threat

Caramel bits could not be located, so butterscotch chips were substituted. They came out great, in no way better, but still very good. So…The Triple Threat's stand-in?…

It's Been Awhile…More Pizza!

So I started working a new job & I haven't had as much time to cook as I'd like. But I found some time this weekend.
The dough from Whole Foods, Muir Glen sauce, grilled onions, broccoli, spinach, cheddar, & mozzerella. The little bit to the right is just cheese, for Shane. Good stuff.

The Triple Threat with...

I made the mistake of pairing these awesome cookies with vanilla frozen yogurt. This will never happen again.
I apologize.
