DINNER.
making and eating - both tremendously difficult with a baby on your hip (if you're lucky!) or your boob (most probably.)
So I've resorted to far fewer dishes on the stove top and many more in the oven. I can put a pan in the oven with Lily attached to me - however that may be - but I can't so much saute anything in a frying pan nor can I boil a lot of water thinking "what if hot water or grease jumps off the pan/pot and onto the luscious skin of Lily Morrice?!"
I am not willing to risk her baby softness on a meal. No sir.

Enter Pizzas. Several Pizzas. Weekly.
- 3.5 cups flour (at least 1.2 should be white if you want to mix whole wheat in, that's cool)
- 1/2 ts salt
- 2.5 tb yeast
- 1 ts sugar
- as much hot peppers, ground pepper, and Herbs De Provence as you want.
(whisk together then add 1 1/3 C of tepid water, let double in size under a hand towel - maybe an hour - then roll out and onto a pizza pan that has a healthy layer of corn meal on it - it'll help it not stick!)
- pizza base is olive oil with spaghetti sauce
- mozzarella cheese
- sliced tomatoes
- 3 onions - red, white, green
- spicy pancetta sliced in ribbons
- basil leaves (add these after cooking, they'll warm and even cook a bit on the hot pizza)
how do you have time/energy to blog and take pictures with a newborn? wow. Impressed.

ReplyDeleteLove blogging so much I put it before other time consuming things luke brushing my teeth and showers ;)
do you have a slow cooker? I use that whenever I work nights i.e no sleep. Prep for like max 15 min and then throw everything in and then 8 hours later you have a decent meal!
ReplyDeleteits true slow cookers are genius! esp for those chilly fall days ;D
