I have been experimenting with pizza crusts. So I have a ton of pizza dough lying around. You can only have so many pepperoni pizzas before you need to find something different. So I decided to try my hand at breakfast pizza. If you have been near a TV at all over the past couple of days you know that it has snowed here in DC. It has snowed a lot, roughly 27 inches. I have a front wheel drive car and there is no chance of me getting out of my house for another day at least. So I had to substitute a few ingredients in my breakfast pizza. Normally I would use salsa as the base, but since I had none and there was no way of me getting to the market. However, I did have a can of diced tomatoes. So I substituted that. It was still good, but salsa is the best.
The pizza browned nicely and allowed the eggs to finish setting. The best way to start the morning.

Over the past week I have been cleaning out my pantry trying to cook everything that I could without going to the grocery store. Needless to say, I was running low on everything. Then I noticed that I had a bag of mozzarella cheese in the fridge and about a 1/2 cup of milk. Sounds like Macaroni and Cheese to me.
So creamy and delicious. Makes you wonder why you ever buy the box stuff.
This recipe is quick and easy. Only took about 10 minutes to make, not counting the 5 minutes to heat up the water. Heating up water isn’t really cooking and thus does not count towards cooking time.

A couple of weeks ago I ran into Nick from Macheesmo, and we started to talk about sausage making. I then invited him over to help make some Jalapeno Cheddar Bratwurst. This was key as it really requires two people to make sausage. Not just two people though, two people that really like to cook. To spend 3 hours elbow deep in raw meat is not for the faint hearted. Although, the rewards are worth it.
The key to a good bratwust is to make sure that it is juicy yet not so juicy that it explodes in your face. I have had many cheddar brats that as soon as you bite into them you hit the person next to you in the face with molten cheese. That is never good. This recipe is a perfect balance of meat and cheese. No need to wear goggles when the person next to you is biting into one.
