Tacos


Taco’s anyone?

Taco’s in my opinion is one of the best things to serve at a party or a hangout with friends.Making tacos gets everyone involved around the dinner table and takes stress of the hostess on preparing the perfect meal. Taco’s allow you to become creative with your toppings allowing you to make your own recipe. There are many types of taco’s people sell and make today astray from the typical ground beef taco. The variety consists of but no limited to chicken, fish, pork, and shrimp.You name it and it has probably been done already, so don’t be afraid and create your very own twist to it.

Things you will need
  • Tortillas
  • Ground beef (or your choice of meat)
  • Onions
  • Salsa (optional)
  • Lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Grated cheese
  • Seasoning for meat
Steps

1.       Season ground beef with your preffered seasonings, I used black pepper, onions,

2.       Pour your ¼ cup of water into the pan when beef begins stick

3.       Stir the beef every so often to ensure it is not sticking to the pan

4.       Place your cooked beef into your tortilla and add your desired toppings

It's Dinner Time - Homemade Pizza

Fast food is pretty amazing in the sense that you wait less than 15 minutes to get your meal and you’re out the store or threw the drive thru. But anyone who’s ever made homemade pizza or tasted it before can definitely agree with me that homemade pizza is definitely worth the time.

This was my first time making my own homemade pizza but I’ve tasted a few, so I had  a good idea on how the finished product should look like smell and taste. I also had some good oll help from YouTube videos.
Hmm hungry yet? If so follow the recipe and instructions below trust me you will not be disappointed or still hungry after this meal.

Step One: Decide if your making your pizza from scratch or store bought this will make a difference in your prepping stage. I made mine from scratch minus the dough because that makes a whole day to make. Once you have your dough you must flatten it to how thick  or thin you would like your crust. I  made mine thin because it takes less time to cook that way.

Step Two: After flattening and creating the shape of your pizza dough ( circle or square) you make your sauce. I made my sauce from tomatoes and a few other herbs listed in my recipe page. You can use that or a good old pizza sauce from your local grocery store, whatever you prefer.

Step Three: Decide on your toppings and what sizes youd like to cut them to be( I cut my toppings pretty small because I didn’t want it to be to heavy on the dough and also for it to cook faster)

Step Four: Now that you’ve done your prepping place your tomato sauce onto the dough (put as much sauce as like on your pizza while using your discretion).

Step Five: I personally place my toppings on first and then the cheese, but you can do it however you feel most comfortable. I place mine under neath because I think it allows the toppings not to fall and I think it looks nicer, but that’s just my preference.

Step Six: place the cheese all over the pizza until it covers all the toppings

Step Seven: place in pre heat oven of 350 degrees and leave it for approximately 15-20 minutes, make sure you check your oven every so oftened though. You can also tell when the edges of your crust have turned a golden brown.
