Orzo.... is .. yeah

So I made some Orzo Italian pasta.  It was very much good.  It looks like rice, but is pasta.  Lovin it.  

I think the thing that made the meal the best was the sauce that I put on it.  

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped mushroom

Saute it all for 2 or so minutes on low heat and pour over your noodles.  Don't do to much, but it is really good.

Morning Frittata

So I have been having this for breakfast for the past little while and I am loving it.  It is quick and tastes great.

I start off by cutting up:
1/4 of any color pepper
1/6 of a large onion
4 medium Mushrooms
1 small tomato
1 tbsp olive oil ( as you will soon tell, I only use olive oil as my oil base)

Put it all in a medium size pan on medium heat and cover stirring on occasion
As this is sauteing, pull out your Southern Flavor seasoning.  From what I understand, this is only found in the South, and I got it from a friend whose sister lives in Alabama, so when I run out I am going to have to start the search.. but add this or a seasoning that you enjoy to taste
Beat some eggs, as many as you like,  With the above I usually do 3, but you could do up to 5 or 6 and still get enough veggies, I just like more veggie then egg.  
Add the beaten eggs to the sauteing veggies and and stir around mixing it generously
once mixed together bring it all to the center and let it sit for about a minute and 30 seconds,  using your spatula, flip the whole thing over.  The bottom should be a little crispy.  let it sit on the other side for about 1min, 30 sec and place on your plate
Then Enjoy your wonderful Frittata in the morning...!

So I got this basic recipe from my moms betty crocker cook book that she got from her wedding and altered it to be a little more healthy...


1 cup wheat flour

1 cup white flour

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp salt

good size pinch sugar

2 tsp baking powder



Mix it all together till it doesn't stick to the sides, knead about 10 times and cut it in half. roll it out really thin and pick it up by your roller, place on your pan and put on whatever topping you want. cook for about 20-25 minutes and whala, great pizza



I used for my toppings



1 large spoon of Prego tomato sauce, which covered half the dough

1 large spoon of dried tomato Alfredo sauce to cover the other side

a mediocre amount of mozzarella cheese covering the sauce

chicken salad

- 2 cans of tuna, (albacore)

- enough mayo to taste (which means how much you like with your tuna sandwich)

and spread that over them

In the beginning...

There were once two guys named Todd and Chad.  They became friends because their wives made them... and then they liked it...ha... and found that they liked to cook.  One day Chad moved away and they were both sad.  They decided that because cooking was a big part of their individual lives, they would continue to do it together, only over the internet by sharing recipes of oh so good food.  We hope that you enjoy our tastes.
