This week's pick was a kind of stumble on while looking through a magazine. I saw the words pizza and spicy and that got my attention. Which leads us to the recipe itself. Now if you guys are skippers (meaning skip to see the recipe and then read my jazz at the end) then you saw the recipe has bacon. Most know that I am not a fan of the majority of the pig meat variety so I cheated and placed some turkey bacon on my pizza. It was just as good. Enough with the chit chat let's get to the cooking! Here's what you'll need:
Spicy Mustard Turkey Pizza
*6 Servings
* Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
*Yield: 6 slices
Ingredients
* 1 prebaked 12-inch thin pizza crust
* 3 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
* 3 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
* 3 tablespoons honey
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 2 cups cubed cooked turkey
* 1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
* 5 cooked bacon strips, chopped
* 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
Directions
* Place crust on an ungreased 12-in. pizza pan. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard,
honey and garlic powder. Add turkey; toss to coat. Spread over crust.
* Top with mushrooms, bacon and Swiss cheese. Bake at 450° for 9-11 minutes or until cheese is melted.
This was pretty amazing. The combination of the sweet and salty reminds me of my choice fast food bad for you but taste sooooo good Arby's Chicken Bacon & Swiss sandwich only it was on a pizza. Genius right? Taste of home beat me to this great idea.
Tid Bits:
*We're good friends now so you know instead of piggy bacon try our friend Mr. turkey in his bacon suit. Tastes just as swell.
*You can use whatever dough you prefer. To me pizza dough is pizza dough. The real star is the toppings on it. Otherwise you just have plain bread.
Ma's Spot: IT WAS FLIPPING AWESOME! *shouts Aunt Jane from another room.
...Thanks...Aunt Jane for that...um side note/random. Back to Ma: I don't think there are words that can explain how good this pizza was. It just goes to show you that you don't have to spend a fortune on take out pizza when you can make a really great pizza (like this one) at home for your family. Everything from the sauce to he bacon/turkey was awesome. Kudos to my son in law for an awesome job on tonight's pizza dough. Also kudos to Dinah Jane for putting together tonight's dinner and giving me an evening off. I encourage you more than I ever have before to try this pizza.
BAKING CORNER: Cherry Marble Brownies
What can be better than chocolate brownies mixed with vanilla marble mixture and cherry pie filling? Here's what you'll need:
Cherry Marble Brownies

* 1 19.5-ounce package brownie mix
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 3 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1/4 cup water

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil; set aside. In a large bowl prepare brownie mix according to package directions, using the 1/2 cup oil, 3 eggs, and the water. Spread batter in the prepared pan. Set aside.
2. In another large bowl beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add sugar; beat to combine. Add the 2 eggs, the flour, and vanilla; beat until combined. Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over brownie batter in pan. Using a table knife, gently cut through batters to create a marble pattern.

Makes 32 servings
Dinah: *pats back* Another home run! Thank you, thank you. :D.
These were simple to make and the end product was yum with just the right amount of sugar. I even went back for a second slice.
Ma: First off I would like to say I do not like brownies but every time Dinah makes her brownies I love them. I don't know if she puts in a little hocus pocus or what but they always turn out great. I loved these. The cherry pie filling was amazing. Now I am wondering will she try to make these with apple pie filling. Hmmm? Shall I ask? I think this is a great little treat to take to a pot luck dinner or a nice family holiday dinner. Even if you just want to make a batch for home these are amazing. So give them a try.
That's it folks! We'll be back here next Tuesday with more food goodness. Next week's blog is a treat, it'll have a spotlight on my good friend and her recipe along with her baking corner idea. So get your booty's back here and check it out. Have a great week guys!
