Honey BBQ Chicken Pizza w/ Caramelized Onions and Smoky Mozzarella

-
say yes to yum


Today is sort of a low key day around here. The men of the house are off to the mountains to do some work at the cabin and it didn't work for any of my daughters friends to spend the day, so we went to bed later than usual (for her) last night and got up when we felt like it and haven't done much of anything today, unless it counts that we made some minus flash cards for her to practice and baked a cheesecake and mixed some pumpkin cutout cookies that are in the fridge waiting for the right mood. They may or may not get baked today yet. And we took a nap. It's cool and rainy and we're meeting my MIL for supper in town so I think other than picking up a bit around here we will just keep it low key.


helping to make the cheesecake

Yesterday when I was out and about rounding up our groceries I found some Smoked Mozzarella Cheese and was intrigued. So I purchased a small amount to try in this pizza with some rotisserie chicken that was hanging out in my fridge. I also had some small pre-baked pizza crusts that I had made and put into the freezer for convenience that came in handy for a quick lunch.

I decided that the onions (Candy Onions for one pizza and Red Onions for the other) should be caramelized to add extra flavor and sweetness and was not disappointed! They did their job wonderfully!

here they are in the process but not done yet, yum!

Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ Sauce is what I used and the flavor was perfect! Spread a thin layer on the crust and top it with the onions, thin sliced peppers, thin sliced mushrooms, and some chicken breast pieces.


Top with Smoked Mossarella Cheese slices and hot peppers.


 I baked mine on a baking stone for 15 minutes @ 400°. The crust was crispy and the whole thing was delicious! Can't wait to make one for my husband, I think he will love it! minus the peppers and mushrooms, that is.☺

Here's an update on this one-I started adding fresh pineapple and it's out of this world good! Try it sometime!! Hubby says it is now his fav over the Hawaiian one with ham and pineapple.
Be Blessed!

    I would love to try this recipe. I'm not sure if I've had smoked mozzarella but I will look for it next time I'm out. The last time I caramelized onions and added them to pizza, I decided to come up with a pizza that had the following: anchovies, blue cheese, tomatoes and some mozzarella. It was disgusting. I blame pregnancy for this weird recipe. :)

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, start...
