New Recipes and New Resolutions

I came across this website and I think I may have a new list of recipes to try out and they all look easy and so delicious!!! Go check it out...I'm loving this. I'm hoping to get better this new year with meal planning. I always try to plan ahead and then seem to rush through when it's time to make my grocery list. I think I need to try to plan further ahead than just a week or two, but more like a month or two at a time so it will be easier for me to do my weekly grocery list. First I hope to use any extra ingredients in my pantry and then go from there. Having a big pantry area in my new home is lovely, but I feel that things have gotten lost in there that I forget that I have. So starting this new year I'm going to use them up and hopefully this recipe blog will help me with that.

My New Year's Resolution...get this house organized. We've lived here for a year now and I'm not happy with the junk I have in some of the closets and some boxes still unopened in the garage. So I'm looking to this lady for help..since she seems to be the queen of organizing. So 2012, let's hope I get things in gear and get my home organized and functioning as I would like it to be. Plus, with a new little one that will be, Lord willing, arriving this Summer (due to arrive July 10) I really need to get things in place before then. Yes, you read that right...I'm 12 weeks pregnant and feeling great. Hoping for a sweet, quiet little girl to calm my boys down. If I get another rambunctious boy that will be fine too. I love my boys.

I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us in 2012.

Happy New Year everyone!

Hi Rachael - thanks for stopping by my blog, I wanted to answer your question here so you don't have to wonder back to my pizza post to find it. Here is my response:
Funny, I made this tonight for my family! I had a bit of a problem this time, my pizza didn’t come off the pan as easily. I think I didn’t oil it enough, but it was still tasty! To answer your question…it may be your yeast. Is your yeast old? If you think your yeast is fine (the only way to test it as far as I know is by using it in another recipe that calls for it) the only other thing I can think of is it wasn’t in a warm enough place to rise. Newer ovens have a dough rise setting but if yours doesn’t, I’d suggest turning your oven to the lowest temp for about 5 min then shutting it off and putting the dough (rolled out, oiled with suran wrap on pan) inside for 15-20 minutes. Then taking it out and reheating the oven to 450 to get ready to bake. Hopefully this helps and I really hope your pizza still turned out ok! Let me know if you have any other questions.
