Making some changes..

I decided to combine this blog with my Kat's Ideas blog. So I don't have to keep up with 2 blogs.
So it's kinda messy around here until i can get it re-organized.   Please be patient :)

Blog Wordle

I love the wordle.com site.  It's fun to mess around with. Every once in a while, I go and play around with it.
Back in September 2008, I made a wordle for this blog called Wordle Fun  It was so much fun to see the words I used most on the blog.   It is amazing how different it is now, in just a little over two years!

This is the one I just made :)   Kinda neat huh?

Homemade Pizza Sauce


1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 6 oz can of tomato paste
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 cloves of garlic, crushed

Mix all the above ingredients in a medium size bowl.  Spread on your pizza dough.  



Pizza Dough



2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp oil
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the water and oil together then add to the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Kneed for a few minutes by hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Lightly oil a bowl, place dough in the bowl and roll it around to oil the outside of the dough. Cover bowl for 20 minutes for dough to rise. 
Spread dough out onto a 12" or 16" pizza pan. I use a 12" pan and this was a really thick dough. If you don't want it quite as thick you could use a larger pan or split the dough into two crusts. Oil the top, add your favorite spices, sauce and toppings. Cook on 450 for 11-15 minutes.
