Pizzadillas

Posted by Anthony on January 10, 2019 in Entree, Pizza


Serves: 1

Time: 30 min

Difficulty: Easy

A few weeks ago, I was in the mood for pizza, but also for quesadillas. So I thought I’d marry the two together to form one delicious concoction: Pizzadillas! They a lot like a calzone, just in a tortilla, and are pretty simple and straightforward to make, requiring just a bit of oven time in a couple steps of the process. But you can make them with whatever you like on your pizza, making them easy to personalize. The end result has been nothing short of extraordinary, and has quickly become a lunchtime favorite of my wife and me. If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy your pizza, look no further and give this a shot. You’ll be glad you did!

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

Posted by Anthony on October 22, 2017 in Soup


Serves: 8

Time: 2 hours

Difficulty: Easy

The other day, my wife requested that I make Tomato Basil soup some time. Rather than just getting a can of it at the store, I decided it was high time to try my hand at a new recipe. So I sought out some recipes and found one that seemed like a good one (though let’s be honest, most every recipe was about the same). Well, I gave the recipe a go, and admittedly, it was a complete bust. I followed the recipe exactly, and the end result was bland and overly brothy. So I had to improvise and add in some last-minute magic. In the end, my off-the-cuff efforts were worth it, as the final product was one of the best Tomato Basil soups that my wife and I have ever had. If you’re in the mood for a good, flavorful, and healthy soup to warm you up, look no further. You’ll be glad you tried this recipe!

Healthy Homemade Lasagna (à la Loaf Pans)

Healthy Homemade Lasagna (à la Loaf Pans)

Posted by Anthony on March 2, 2017 in Entree


Serves: 8 (2 per loaf pan)

Time: 45 min (active), 45-60 min (inactive)

Difficulty: Easy

A number of our friends have recently been in need of some freezer meals, and one of my go-to staples to provide is lasagnas prepped and delivered in aluminum loaf pans — a perfect size for 2 servings, so you’re not left with a boatload of leftovers in an enormous baking dish. Everyone who has received and partaken of these lasagnas has raved about them and how delicious they are, and most have asked for the recipe. Admittedly, this recipe never existed on paper until I was asked for about the 8th time for a copy of the recipe, as I just made it off-the-cuff. But here is the official recipe, finally documented outside of my head, for your making and partaking pleasure. Hope you enjoy!
