We love Pizzas!!!

I just had to share this pizza recipe I have always used.  My sister got it from her mother in law and she was willing to share it with me and it's the only one I've used ever since I discovered it years ago.  I wouldn't want my children to not have this recipe so heir go.  Get the pun?  Happy baking!

Fresh Blueberry Muffins. Peach cobbler, and Blackberry peach pie

Seattle is a great place for fruits in the summertime.  We go pick strawberries, cherries, peaches, apples, nectarines, raspberries, blackberries (which are free because they grow wild here), and our favorite blueberries.  I bought a huge freezer and I'm determined to load them up with more frozen fruits this year.  But with all the blueberries we managed to pick this year, I made a tons of blueberry muffins.  I love this recipe, especially because of the cinnamon topping

Topping:

• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tbsp flour
• 2 tsp melted butter
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

• 2 ½ cups flour

• ½ cup butter soften
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups blueberries

Mix butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, then slowly add all dry ingredients.  Add blueberries at the end. scoop into muffin pans and add topping.  Cook at 375 for 30 min
 

Stevens Famous Chicken nuggets

I have always loved chicken nuggets but am never satisfied with the store bought stuff.  I decided one day that I was going to make chicken nuggets for my kids and they have claimed that mommy's nuggets are the best.  Simply follow this in a food processor or blender and enjoy!

1/3 cup all-purpose flour 

Optional: Shredded cabbage (about 1/2 cup)

Salt and ground black pepper

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

1 egg

Blend all ingredients above in a blender or food processor.  Scoop out spoonfuls and roll around breadcrumbs.  Fry!

1 cup prepared breadcrumbs (I dry my left over unwanted bread and crush them inside a bag)

1 cup vegetable oil for frying
