Food Weeks

Whoops, sorry it's been a while! I was on a roll and then nothing happened.

My apologies. I'm planning a few more of these to come and hopefully I'll even have another out this week. But for the first time here in Arizona, I'm actually a little busy and doing several things daily. I have recently done baptisms in the Mesa Temple (gorgeous), made friends, played soccer, enjoyed Stake Conference, wandered around a museum on my own, and more!

And what this post is about, of course- food! In the last five days I have made about four different things and they were all so delicious! So I had to share :D

THIS IS ALSO GOOD FOR THOSE ON A BUDGET.

First off, and I'm not ashamed of this, but: Mac and Cheese Pizza
I stopped eating that stuff when I was about 14 but this past school year, Katie started eating it and of course she'd share her food and I found myself eating Mac and Cheese again. But it's also really easy to get dull and bland FAST!
So, I fixed it up a bit!

Here's how I did it:
1-Cook the mac and cheese, get it good to go.
2- Make the pizza dough (I used a premade set because I'm cheap and it was a dollar)
3- I added a bit of butter to the dough and included buffalo sauce before putting the mac and cheese on. Seasonings really help out when you're eating this stuff.
4- Add some real cheese. Not necessary, but tasty. I had mozzarella and tried it out and it helped the mac and cheese stay on better. But like I said, not necessary.
5- Cook for however long the pizza dough says.
6- EAT IT
Mac and cheese: 90 cents
Pizza dough (add water): 1$
Buffalo sauce: $2ish?

But most people already own seasonings or their favorite sauce (Ranch could work, just saying), and otherwise that's a $2 meal. And you've only used 1/3 of your mac and cheese! The dough isn't much but it could feed two people perfectly.

Second: Grilled Cheese Mac and Cheese
I know, I know.
I can't help myself.
And you'll see why.
It's delicious.
Plus like I said, a LOT of mac and cheese was left over, okay?
Steps:
1- Butter up or mayo up both sides of 2 pieces of bread
2- Put on stove to start heating up
3- Add some cheese on one side
4- Heat up Mac and cheese to warm
5- Put Mac and Cheese on bread slice with cheese
6- Put other slice on top
7- Toast to preference
8-EAT

Third: Greek Pizza

I referenced this one for ingredients but then did what I wanted after. Baking, I always follow the directions. But in cooking, there's a little more freedom. Plus if it goes wrong, you blame the lack of no recipe. If it goes right, you're a genius. Win-win right?
1- Get everything you want chopped and into nice little piles
2- Start oven
3- use oil and mix in seasonings, and soak spinach
4- Make dough
5-Pile things on! Oil, (I added chicken to half, works great either way!),
6- cover in cheese, feta then mozzarella. Add as much as you would like
7- Put in oven! Bake!
8- Eat and ENJOY
*Really sorry, I forgot a picture of the final product! I had a friend over and she said it was pretty good though, if that helps!

and finally, 4th, OMELET

Generic but definitely delicious! 2-3 eggs, depending on how hungry you really are. If you do 3, you need no sides, that's for sure. I did 4 once and that was insane.
You can also put in or on top whatever you would like! Careful with the avocados, though- I put them inside and it turned the thing green and looked very sketchy. But today, I put it on top and it looked prettier and tasted better. This time, I put in: 3 variations of peppers, onion, chicken, tomato, and sliced spinach. On top, afterwards, I put some salsa, avocado slices, and chips- I like a good solid crunch, so sue me?

Isn't it beautiful?

1- Mix the egg with any seasonings you want, like really mix them
2- Slice all ingredients
3- Put them in the mixing bowl
4- Turn on stove
5- Put some butter on the pan to start sizzling
6-Pour in ingredients!
*Granted, most places just cook the egg completely and bring it out to then put in sauteed vegetables or whatever but personally, I like to make sure I get as much as I can in each bite. So:
7-Mix it up! Keep up the occasional/steady stirring until it's ready (not runny. Unless you like it that way)
8-Take off stove onto plate, and add anything you like!
9- ENJOY

Not one of the mentioned dishes. One of the rice-a-roni boxes, 4Cheese style. Added buffalo sauce and avocado. See a theme going on yet?

And there you have some food fun. My directions are precise because nothing in life is clear and that's that. But enjoy! Because it's delicious and I might be 22 but that means I can definitely eat whatever I want!
