Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza, from America's Test Kitchen

Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza, from America's Test Kitchen by Foodiewife

I've never been to Chicago, so I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza recipe, from America's Test Kitchen. This pizza crust is very thick, yet very tender on the inside. To make this pizza dough, I added some cornmeal. Once it has it's first rise, I rolled out the dough, spread a very thin layer of…

Simple Stuffing Muffins

Simple Stuffing Muffins by Foodiewife

My family loves stuffing. I usually freeze stale bread, to make my own stuffing mix. But this year, I decided to take a shortcut and I bought stuffing mix. I was inspired to bake stuffing in muffins tins, and that turned out to be a big hit! At the Thanksgiving table, it made serving the stuffing much easier. Plus, you can freeze…

The Very Best Meatloaf

The Very Best Meatloaf by Foodiewife

This my family's favorite meatloaf recipe, of all time--and has become my most viewed recipe on my blog! What makes this taste so good is a combination of beef, veal* and pork-- pricier, but it doesn't taste like a giant hamburger! Fresh marjoram and spices, hot sauce and herbs, and a fantastic glaze makes this so good-- you really…

Meyer Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake

Meyer Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake by Foodiewife

I have made this recipe numerous times, as a loaf cake. I use Non-Fat Greek Yogurt, but any kind of yogurt will work well. The yogurt and oil (instead of butter) is the key to the moistness of the cake. While the cake is still warm, a simple syrup of lemon juice and sugar is poured on and the final touch is a simple lemon glaze.…

Candied Sweet Potatoes/Yams (Pressure Cooker Friendly)

Candied Sweet Potatoes/Yams (Pressure Cooker Friendly) by Foodiewife

This recipe is slightly adapted from “The Harvey House Cookbook” by George H. Foster and Peter C. Weiglin that we found this excellent recipe for sweet potatoes candied with confectioners’ sugar and butter. As the whole thing bakes, the sugar melts and caramelizes, becoming a brittle and crunchy shell covering the soft orange potatoes…

Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Cinnamon-Honey Butter

Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Cinnamon-Honey Butter by Foodiewife

I live in California, but visited Texas last summer. My son took us to a Texas Roadhouse restaurant. My steak was good, but it was those hot rolls, slathered with the cinnamon butter that stood out the most. I searched around for a recipe, and settled on one that came from "Deliciously Yum". These are super easy to make…

Easy Cranberry & Apple Cake (Ina Garten)

Easy Cranberry & Apple Cake (Ina Garten) by Foodiewife

This recipe comes from "The Barefoot Contessa". Ina Garten says that this recipe is inspired by a cranberry pie from Sarah Chase's book Cold Weather Cooking. Her friend Barbara Liberman calls it "easy cake"—I call it delicious. When cranberries are in season, serve it with vanilla ice cream and your friends will love you. I have to…

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Loaded Baked Potato Soup by Foodiewife

This hearty soup has plenty of recipes to be found, I know. I used my friend, Mr. Pressure Cooker, to steam my Russet potatoes in 5 minutes. In the meantime, I cooked bacon, grated sharp cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced green onions-- which is exactly how we like to (occasionally) indulge in baked potatoes. I tweaked my recipe with…

Applesauce Cake with Penuche Frosting

Applesauce Cake with Penuche Frosting by Foodiewife

Applesauce cake is one of my favorite cakes-- especially during fall season. That's when I can my supply of homemade apple sauce. This cake is ultra-moist with fall spices such as cinnamon, cloves and allspice. The penuche frosting goes perfectly with this cake, in my humble opinion. It's a cooked brown sugar frosting-- that has a…
