Just some classic nachos! My daughter Bianca this is her favorite, she loves nachos. She gets beyond excited when I make them. We prefer nachos over tacos! How often does your family make nachos at home?No beef tonight. Just vegetables but you don’t even notice. 3 layers of chips, cheese, onions, peppers, jalapenos, garlic, tomatoes, & olives! Laid out on the cast iron pizza pan baked 425 about 8-10 minutes. Serve with sour cream, salsa and guacamole.

I had some cooked cubed left over potatoes in fridge I wanted to use up. And some left over dough from my beaver tails. So made up a small batch of samosas. 5 medium potatoes, boiled until tender and coarsely chopped 1/2 cup frozen peas 1TSP ginger (grated) 2TBSP cilantro (minced) 1TSP vegetable oil 1TSP cumin seeds 2TSP coriander powder 1TSP turmeric Lemon juice 1/2 serrano pepper (or jalapeno, minced) Salt Mix all of the above together. Roll dough out. Put a couple tablespoons of filling in and pinch together til seals. These come out darker cause they are done with a whole wheat bread. Vegetable oil for deep frying

1CUP warm water 1TSP instant yeast 1TSP sugar 2CUPS all-purpose flour 1TSP salt This is my all time favorite pizza dough. I use this recipe for a lot of things! Take the water, yeast, sugar & mix. Let stand til foamed. Once yeast is activated add in the flour and Salt. Mix until soft and smooth. Add ball back to bowl toss with some oil and let double in size.
Spread pizza dough on your pan. I fill with garlic, fresh is best. Put loads of mozza and topped with some parsley. We have our oven down this week, awaiting for a part. So we have been BBqing all week.
BBQ til bottom browned and cheese melted. I serve this with donair sauce. Whole can sweetened condensed milk 1/4CUP white vinegar 1/2TSP garlic powder Some put sugar in this recipe, it’s not needed! We devour these garlic fingers fast!
