Smokey Bastard





Ingredients:
1 c. mozzarella cheese
3/4 c. smoked Gouda
smoked salmon shredded into bite-size chunks
handful of fresh spinach, chopped
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 c. soy milk
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, sliced
salt and pepper to taste

dough for 1 pizza crust

Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it's heating up. 

Caramelize the onion in a small amount of olive oil. This takes about 25 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes until the onions are golden brown. To make the garlic butter Alfredo sauce, saute the garlic in the butter and olive oil for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the milk until thickened, and season with salt and pepper. 

Spoon the sauce over the crust and top with cheeses and salmon. Sprinkle the chopped spinach over the pizza, and bake for 10-12 minutes.

Apple Chips


Ingredients:
3-4 apples
Cinnamon, optional

Recipe:
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.

Slice the apples very thin. Thicker slices may need to be baked longer. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and arrange the apple slices on the paper. Sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon if desired. Bake for 2 hours flipping the apple slices after one hour. Let cool. Apple chips should be crisp, if some are still soft, bake those a little longer.

After storing mine they got soft again, I think some of the thicker slices still had moisture in them. I popped them back in the oven though and they crisped back up again.
