I have been wanting to start a site for a very long time. Today I made tomato sauce for pizza from home made bread:
Saute the onions and celery until translucent. Add garlic, then stewed tomatoes and tomato paste. Add juice from stewed tomatoes. Add spices. Cook until homogeneous and desired thickness (thin enough to spread, but not so wet that it'll bleed into the bread and make it soggy).
To make the pizza:
Take a slice of bread (about 1/2" thick) and spread with sauce, then cheese, and whatever toppings you like [I put pepperoni]. I use a toaster oven [on toast for five min.], but if you don't have one, an oven would work better than a microwave, more crunchy. If in an oven, probably 350F until the cheese is melted.
My daughter loves pizza and I asked her how it tasted and she said, "munch." Actually, she just continued eating with no pause until it was gone. Not a spare moment to slip a word out edgewise. So I guess it was a success.
I make our bread with a bread machine, I use the quickbread setting. It's the cheap breadmaker I got at Wal-Mart, and it makes 1.5 to 2.0 pound loaf. It works really well, for my use. One just has to be real careful when cleaning it.
Diabetic meal:
My mom has diabetes and is very elderly. So I give her meals dependant on her sugar level, which I have to monitor regularly. Today we had to wait until 4 for her sugar to drop, she was at 161. Goal range is 60-120. So I gave her a Tilapia fillet, for starch, I gave her 1/4 of a very small white sweet potato, baked. I make everything in the toaster oven, except for her fresh greens/vegetables.
Tilapia:
I grease the aluminum foil with bacon grease, salt and peppered it, placed my tilapia fillet on top, and salt and peppered it. Then I semi-wrapped it, leaving a small window in the thickest part of the fillet. I had baked the sweet potato earlier (and it needed to be reheated), so I put them both in the toaster oven for 9 minutes.
Then I plated it, with finely shredded lettuce, canned green beans, and topped it with ranch dressing.
- 1/4 of a large Vidalia onion, diced
- 1 heaping tablespoon garlic minced,
- 1 stalk celery minced,
- 1 small can whole stewed tomatoes(diced) and juice,
- 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste,
- 1 heaping tablespoon Italian spice,
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder,
- salt- to taste, and
- pepper- to taste.
