What's For Breakfast?

Well it's actually not breakfast because I never wake up early and I don't technically eat breakfast. It's my weekend lunch, high starch, high fat, high cholesterol. It's pancakes with ham in between, bacon on the sides and an egg to top it. What a way to start my day. Hehe.

My Homemade Pizza

Having been relocated in Israel for so long, I have scoured all places that I possibly could in search for the perfect pizza. Well I'm kinda shallow, my definition of a perfect pizza is a Shakey’s-Like Pizza. Thinking about it right now, I also miss Round Table Pizza’s! and In-N-Out burger! That’s totally another project. After having been baking for the last two months, I ventured in creating my own pizza crust (thin crust!) and creating my own pizza.
Creating the crust easier than I thought it would be. All I needed was some dry yeast, all-purpose flour, salt and sugar! After kneading, I created a 12-inch thin crust dough which I covered with tomato/meat sauce, parmesan cheese. Then I topped it with ground meat, shrimps, calamari, pepperoni, garlic, onion, oyster mushrooms and then covered it again with parmesan. It was so good, we finished the pizza for dinner!

Baked Mussels (Baked Tahong)

When I was a kid, my mom used to serve baked tahong (mussels) and I always found it to be a treat when she cooks it. We normally have it when there are special occasions and I figured that it should be hard to prepare. But it's not! I got her recipe for baked tahong and I get to cook it every time I want it. :)

Baked Tahong (Baked Mussels)

1/2 kg Tahong or Mussels
1/2 cup Velveeta or Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated
1/2 cup Butter
3 tablespoons mayonaisse
6 cloves of garlic, minced

Mussels:
If not using cooked mussels, boil mussels in water until it starts opening. Clean mussels and lay out in baking pan.

Toppings:
Saute garlic and set aside as topping.
Mix cheese, butter and mayonaisse then spoon mixture on top of each layed out mussel. Fill the shell of the mussel with the mixture. Put garlic as garnishing on top.
Bake on a preheated oven at 220C for 8-10 minutes or until top becomes golden brown.

Serve immediately. Enjoy!
