the real reason for Easter is JESUS

...NOT the Easter Bunny.

Just to remind ourselves for the billion-th time, we melted all of our Easter chocolate so it was delicious fondue and ate to the glory of God :)

~

FONDUE:
1. Simmer water in a small pot on medium,
place aluminum bowl over water
(for double-boiler effect)
2. Melt lots of chocolate
(in this case, 3 milk-chocolate Lindor bunnies)
3. add 1 TS canola oil
4. serve with fruit or whatever you want
(we did chocolate chip cookie pieces, pears, bananas...

mmmmmmmm

dinner tonight

I make pizza most weeks. I love home-made dough and my parents always made it so I'm hooked on it. Love finding different random toppings that all fit together. Normally I don't use red sauce, I use olive oil with herbs, pesto, or mashed squash, but tonight I'm going red.

Toppings:
mozzarella, red cause (probably will use pasta sauce), caramelized oninions, white wine flavoured sausage, and tomatoes.

The Crust: I try a new crust practically every time from a different show on the food network or food blog, but this one is the best I've tried so now I'm staying with it:

Spelt Pizza Dough (by Anna Olsen)
  • 3/4 cup tepid water (105ºF)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant dry yeast
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  1. Preheat oven to 500°F and place a baking tray or pizza stone in oven.
  2. For dough, stir water and yeast together, then stir in flours, salt and olive oil until dough becomes hard to work with a wooden spoon.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for just 1 minute, until dough feels elastic. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Divide dough in 2 and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece as thinly as possible, to about 9-inches across. Remove heating pan or stone from oven and sprinkle lightly with cornmeal.
  5. bake for 10-15 minutes.
