Pizza and Recipes

A few nice recipes images I found:

Great Grandma’s Pickle Recipes


Image by Chiot’s Run
Last week my mom and I went down to my grandma’s house to go through some stuff. I asked my cousin about a few of my grandma’s recipes so I could take a few photos of them. She showed me all of grandma’s recipe boxes, they were filled with cards she’d written recipes on and clippings from magazines. She also showed me my great grandma’s recipe book. It was a collection of recipes scratched and pasted in to an old Railroad Ledger. It’s so great to see old well-used recipes written by my grandmothers.

I’m planning on taking these and making each one, taking photos and making a cookbook of family recipes, including photos of the recipes written by my grandma’s. I think this will make a wonderful Christmas present for family members.

crust

2 cups flour
.5 cup semolina flour
.5 cup oat bran
1 cup water
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons yeast

add all ingredients to bread machine pan, knead on the dough setting (about 45 minutes), remove and gently hand-shape into a pizza crust to fit your oven / pan / stone (whatever you’re going to bake this on). turn on the oven and set it to 400 degrees once the crust is shaped.

pesto sauce

2 cups fresh basil
1 cup pine nuts (or any fatty-crunchy solid substitute, almonds were used here, and garbanzo beans work in a pinch)
.25 cup olive oil
.25 cup butter
.25 cup salty cheese (parmesan is traditional, we used gorgonzola here)
3 cloves garlic

mix ingredients in food processor (or blender), salt to taste.
