Cheyenne Burger

I know, I said I'd post about sides, but that can wait!
I made dinner again last night. Bobby Flay helped me out with this one.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my finished results. Sorry! I'll cook it again soon and remember next time!
Here is the link to the recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cheyenne-burger-recipe/index.html

The differences between this recipe and the way I cooked these burgers is that I mixed in some chopped vidalia onions with the turkey meat. Turkey tends to be quite dry, so I added the onions to juice it up. I also added a little bit of seasoned salt and pepper to the meat, for added flavour.

I'm not going to lie, though. I had serious issues with cooking last night. I made a huge mess and I had trouble multitasking. But then again, I always have trouble multitasking. In my defense, I was really tired because I didn't sleep very well at all the other night. I also didn't manage my time as well as I could have. Ahh, yes, what an amateur. I'll become better with practice, I swear!!

All in all, the burgers turned out nicely. The onion rings that I made to go on top were really good, too. I made extra burgers, so I heated one up for lunch today.
Also, the sauce that went on the burgers was delicious. My dad liked it so much, he used extra and demanded I save the rest in a jar for other uses.

Thanks, Bobby Flay. I think my dad is in love with your BBQ sauce.

Pizza

My mum inspired this one. She decided to buy Indian naan bread one day and thought we could make pizzas with them.
I love all kinds of naan bread. It's delicious and it makes excellent pizza bread. This is me turning something healthy into something fattening as hell. Honestly, though, I could just eat naan bread without anything on it - especially garlic naan.
Well, I had a naan bread pizza for lunch today.
So, this is basically what I like to put on my pizza:
- canned tomato sauce [with herbs]
- hand-grated or sliced mozzarella cheese [monterey jack cheese is a decent substitute, but it's more fattening than mozzarella]
- chopped onions [yellow and white onions are the best on pizza, in my opinion, and for cooking in general. I would not suggest using red onions, as they taste better when raw. Cooking red onions sort of takes away their flavour.]
- sliced pepperoni [spicy good!]
- chopped/sliced black olives [one of my most favourite foods ever - black olives - and unfortunately, I did not have those to put on my pizza today. *sad face*]
Before I top my pizza, I toast the bread in the toaster oven for maybe two minutes, just so that it warms up a bit. We always keep the bread in the freezer, as it lasts longer.
After the bread is done slightly toasting, I lay it out on a baking sheet with a little bit of cooking oil [olive, canola, etc], so as the pizza won't stick and the cheese that may droop off will not burn as much.
I then top my pizza with whatever I please and bake it in the toaster oven.
Temperature: 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees celcius)
Time: 10-15 minutes
Make sure you check on it, so that you don't burn the damn thing! And if it's not done by the time you set it at, then leave it in for an extra 5 minutes, keeping an eye on it.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention! If you're one of those people, like myself, who enjoys a crap ton of extra toppings - go for it. I layered my pizza with as much cheese and pepperoni to shoot my cholesterol levels through the roof. I do enjoy eating as healthy as I can, but it's so much fun when I don't.
And there you have it, people...

Yummy-as-hell pizza. And you made it all by yourself. You should be so proud because it was so damn easy, you didn't have to worry about setting the kitchen on fire - unless you're really incompetent, I feel for you. All you should have to worry about is the huge ass mess you made, getting grated cheese all over the floor. Good job. Let the dog clean it up, I say.
