Butterscotch Sticky Buns

I found this recipe in Food and Wine magazine a long time ago. No real occasion, just wanted to make something sweet for my sweets :) The dough was definitely not fluffy, I wasn't entirely happy with the dough, and if I knew more about food chemistry I would be able to fix it, but the rest was wonderful. Yay carbs!

Enjoy the sticky-ness!

Breakfast Pizza

Just winged this, no real recipe. I had always wanted to make a breakfast pizza. All it takes is dough, ricotta layer, bell pepper slices, asiago/parm mix. Bake some before putting the eggs on top and baking - - - I began at 500 degrees, but that was too hot, so I turned it down to 450.

Homemade Pop-Tarts

I saw a recipe for homemade pop-tarts in Bon Appetit a few years ago. Luckily, I stumbled onto Deb's adaptation on her site Smitten Kitchen which reminded me. I would probably not useher dough recipe next time. Beautifully flakey, but wayyy too buttery (calling for 1 cup to 2 cups flour!). I will use my trusty pie dough. I was also disappointed in myself that I didn't try out any other fillings. Arg. I just used Nutella and Strawberry Jam. Deb mentioned that you can cut the sugar and salt and fill them with olives, pesto, cheese and nuts. I kept thinking how lovely spinach and feta would be inside of the tarts while consuming them. Spanakopita like. :)

I will make these again, but with small adjustments and more adventure!

(p.s. I loved the little thumb-print cookies that I made from the tart trimmings. Heavenly buttery things!)
