Heres something practical did you know the the grocery store called 'Whole Foods' sells ready made fresh pizza dough in their pizza department. You can simply take home and create your own pizza in minutes with a fraction of the cost it would be to buy a whole pizza. Their dough costs about $3 and believe me its amazing.

But if you prefer to make your own dough, heres a great recipe to follow 'How to Make Pizza Dough' Ready in minutes.


Homemade Pizza
Servings 4
Prep Time: 5 min
Total Time: 20 min
Source: Elise Jackson

Ingredients
1 pack whole foods pizza dough or your homemade dough
1 Jar Tomato sauce (or sauce or your choice)
1 pack shredded mozzarella cheese
Meats of your choice: pepperoni, chicken, sausage
Veg of your choice: mushroom, corn, pepper, onion
1 tsp melted butter

Directions

Preheat your oven to 450F

Stretch the pizza dough carefully by switching it from one hand to the other using your fist and widening the dough as you go along. Keep doing this until your dough is wide enough to place on your pizza tray. (Don't have a round pizza tray don't worry. Look at the picture below, Ive done my pizza in a regular rectangular pyrex. Works the same, except don't stretch your dough as thin.)

One you have your dough on the baking tray, choose what sauce you want to use. Depending on what kind of pizza you are making, you can switch out the tomato sauce for something like ranch, bbq sauce or alfredo sauce. Place your sauce in a small pot and cook on low heat for about 8-10 min or until it starts to simmer, adding about 2-3 tbsp water and a little seasoning to give it some flavor.

Spread enough of your sauce evenly on top of your pizza dough and then add your cheese. Lots and lots of it... on top of the cheese add all of the toppings you choose. Fold the edges of the dough over to create a crust. (If you want to make a stuffed crust just make sure to add some cheese and topping all the way to the edges of your pizza dough before folding the crust over) Brush the crust lightly with your melted butter.

Place in the center rack of your oven for about 12 - 15 min or until your pizza is golden brown.

Remove from oven and allow to cool 2-3 min before slicing 8 ways. Easiest way to get the perfect slices is using a pizza cutter. But a good old knife will do the trick too.

Don't have a round Pizza tray. Use a pyrex and make a rectangular pizza instead

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food.
