elizabeth's recipes

I am not a chef. I don't ever claim to be. I'd much rather bake than cook. And I am not one to improvise. I follow recipes to a tee. If I don't like something I make I like being able to blame it on the recipe, and not my cooking skills, because I can cook, but only because I can follow a recipe.

This summer I tried out a bunch of new recipes. Here are my favorites from Elizabeth's blog.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
I actually made pizza again tonight using her pizza dough recipe. I really like it. In this picture I made a BBQ Chicken Pizza, tonight Pepperoni and Black Olive.

Chicken Caesar Wraps (no picture)
This is one of my new FAVORITE meals. I didn't make the homemade Caesar dressing because I had some on hand. But let me tell you the wrap bread is delicious. But it does take some time. So the second time I made them I made a double batch of the wrap bread and froze half of it. Then next time I defrosted the bread and then heated them up on a hot skillet for less than a minute each and they tasted just as good.

Chicken and Dumplings (no picture)

I was nervous to try the chicken and dumplings because I have never even had it before. But I made it and like it a lot. Justin loved it. LOVED!!! Elizabeth says it is David (her husbands favorite) maybe it is a guy thing. Don't get me wrong I liked it but Justin loved it. So it will be a repeat.


Strawberry Shortcake

This is me on my birthday...in June. I am not much of a cake kind of girl. I am a baked goods kind of girl. I will take a cookie over anything else every time. I love cookies. Sigh. Now I really want a cookie. Moving on. I really liked the cake in the strawberry shortcake. This is my favorite Strawberry Shortcake recipe so far.

So there you have it. All of Elizabeth's recipes that I have tried. Go try them out. You can trust Elizabeth she is a foodie and has a very refined palate.
