Mara Cooks: Episode 3 (for real this time)

PIZZA

We did it! My good friend Carrie came over for a double-header of cooking and working out. We left the dough to rise while we hit the gym, and then it was time to bake. The recipe we used was relatively simple, then we branched out for the toppings. Pesto, tomato, and mozzarella on one and goat cheese with caramelized onion and arugula for the other. All kinds of tasty. The whole thing cost about 20 bucks (if that) and lasted for 2 people to have 2 meals. A+.

Mara Cooks: Episode 4 (pizza will get a post soon, this one was easier to put up) YAKI UDON I bought udon and since it didn’t come with soup base, I decided to go off the grid and twist things up. London broil for the meat. Soy sauce, teriyaki, mirin, garlic and spicy mustard for the marinade. Cook the meat, toss in the noodles. Easy peasy dinner and I made enough for lunch tomorrow. Success!
