BBQ Pizza Season About to Begin

Well now that the nice weather has arrived, it is time to start making pizzas on the BBQ. I have been doing some research on various sites and look forward to the best pizza quest of 2010. Came across a great pizza website (http://pizzatherapy.com) Be sure to check it out.

Caesar Salad Recipe

Here is the salad recipe
1. 2 cloves of garlic or one teaspoon of garlic powder
2. 1/2 cup of salad oil
3. 3/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 1/2 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
2 tablespoons of lemon juice

Mix all ingredients in a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Pour dressing over salad, add croutons and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. I realize some people do not like to put raw egg into the recipe but I have been doing this for 25 years with no problem.

Sunday Supper

Just going to make a Caesar Salad and BBQ some rib steaks. Simple but very tasty. I will post my salad recipe later.

Mother's Day Meal

Well it is May 9th and it is snowing. Rather than firing up the BBQ I think I will make a great seafood fettucini. The recipe is posted here and also on http://www.thearrogantchef.com/. I will also make a Caesar Salad and my famous stuffed mushroom caps. I will be posting pictures and letting you know how everything turned out. Happy Mother's Day.

Stuffed Mushroom Caps

Here is a great recipe for an appetizer. These can be made ahead and kept in the fridge.
Stuffed Mushroom Caps

16 large mushroom caps

Filling

½ cup of fresh white breadcrumbs
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
250g of ham chopped
½ cup of grated Swiss cheese
1 clove of garlic crushed
salt and pepper
lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil

Carefully remove stalks of mushrooms. Chop stalks and mix them with filling ingredients except for seasoning, lemon juice and oil.

Arrange mushroom caps in a buttered ovenproof dish. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Spoon filling evenly into caps, shaping a little. Sprinkle with olive oil and bake for about 10 minutes at 400F.

More pizza and wings to celebrate the kids coming home from first year university at Queen's. Recipes for the pizza and wings can be found in this blog. The wings are absolutely fantastic.
