First, I would like to announce the winner of the Name That Recipe contest for last weeks Lamb and Pumpkin Recipe. I let my 15 year old, Coby, pick the winner and after much deliberation and deep, deep thought – he decided on: Halloween Hash by Stefanie. Thank you Stefanie and thank you Coby for picking a great entry – I loved all of them!!
Now, on to the good stuff.

With a few tweaks to the original, I came up with this pizza crust recipe that I love so much that I am excited to make it again and use it for more then just pizza. Continue reading
