I'm back to being busy now

The school year has started and I'm back to being a busy bee.
No more blabbering on, just recipes I love.

Both are quick, comforting, and so yummy.

Hi Sarah. Here's the pizza recipe! :)

Add 1 tsp of yeast to a cup and a half of warm water with a pinch of sugar. Let that sit for about 10 minutes.

Put 4 cups of bread flour in a bowl. Make a well in it, add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Leave it in a floured bowl (covered with a damp cloth) to rise for 1 1/2 hours.

Make pizza! Once you've added topics (I use green and red peppers and onions or artichoke hearts and red onions), cook it on an oiled cookie sheet at 425 for 15-20 minutes.

Turns out making a latte is really pretty simple



You just need a french press.
Get some really good coffee. You can find Espresso varieties in Whole Foods. Grind it on a coarse setting, thicker than you would for an automatic pot.
Brew the coffee in your french press. (That just means you take some water that has been boiled and then let to sit for about half a minute, pour it in the french press container over the coffee grinds. Then you rest the lid on top. Let it brew on its own for about 4 minutes and then slowly push down the lid.)
Pour out the coffee into mugs, fill 1/3 to 1/2 of each mug.
Clean out the french press.
Warm some milk on the stove. Don't boil it. Just make it warm enough that your finger gets hot when you test it.
Put the warm milk in the french press. Move the plunger up and down to create a froth.
Pour some frothed milk into each coffee mug.
Yummy.
