Pizza - in a Pot Pie?!

Yes, that's right... Pot Pie Pizza! I've been wanting to make individual pot pies for awhile but unfortunately my husband does not like pot pies (or stews, roasts, anything fall like - boo on him!) But, one day while on Food Network's website I caught out of the corner of my eye the words Pizza Pot Pie but then I lost my wireless connection and I couldn't click the link. I think it was in a list of kid-friendly foods but to be honest, I never really looked for it again. By then I had all I needed to spark my imagination of how wonderful an idea that was and thus was the idea for my Friday night dinner....

Aside from the fact that this gave me an opportunity to make something "pot-pieish" another great thing about this recipe is that it's still pretty much a pizza so you can use whatever cheeses, toppings, etc. that you want!
Pizza Pot Pies

Inspired by seeing the words on the Food Network Website...
** This recipe is scaled for 2 individual pot-pies using 10 oz. rammekins
Ingredients
1 ball pizza dough (homemade, store bought, whatever you like)
1 cup pizza, marinara, whatever sauce you like
1/4 pound ground beef
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1 cup Italian blend cheese (divided)
EVOO
2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian Seasoning

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Prepare Dough as necessary
- Roll out dough to about 1/4" thick
- Using whatever you're baking pot pie(s) in, cut dough to about 1 inch wider on all sides to overlap
- Prepare baking dish(es) with no-stick cooking spray
- line each dish with 1/2 cup of the cheese mixture
- In a medium bowl mix together pizza toppings (meats, veggies, sauce and whatever else you're including)
- Spoon 1/2 of pizza mixture over each cheese prepped rammekin
- Top baking dish(es) with prepared dough and seal dough around edges to stay in place
- brush dough with a little Olive Oil and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and italian seasoning
- cut slits in the dough to allow steam to release
- bake for 25-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown
** You can either cut portions out of the baking dish or when baking smaller portions you can flip the dish upside down on your plate.... if you do this BE CAREFUL, and also let the dish sit for a moment to let the cheese drip out, which I did NOT do as you can tell by the picture.

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
