My Favorites
My ride-or-die-if-you-get-nothing-else-get-these:
Garlic Press – THE BEST GARLIC PRESS OF ALL TIME! If you get nothing else, get this!
Stoneware Loaf Pan I only have one of these and I will be getting more. I find the bread comes out BEAUTIFULLY when baked in stone. Plus this is perfect for those who want to avoid non-stick bakeware without sacrifing quality of baking.
Citrus Peeler – makes peeling citrus a breeze. Even kids can use it! As crazy as it is, I have about 5 of these cheap little gadgets in my house because they are that awesome.
Other Favs:
Brownie Pan – fincredibly enough, I mainly use this to make perfect shaped rolls lol But it works for brownies too!
Mix ‘N Chop – I never thought I would get as much use out of this as I do, but I use it EVERY single time I am cooking with ground beef!
Measure-All Cup – Perfect for when you’re measuring out peanut butter, honey, all those hard- to- measure-and-dump ingredients
Classic Scraper – mine has lasted for over a decade!
Easy-Read Measuring Cup Set – I love having the angle so I don’t have to bend over and fill it. I use mine almost daily!
All Stoneware –stoneware is simply the best and the quality of Pampered Chef is unbeaten. My favorite time to use stoneware is for pizza!
Pizza and Crust Cutter – I like how the handle is. It’s easy to use.
Whisk Set – best whisk I have ever used. I’ve had mine for a decade and it’s not bent at all!
Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush – also the best silicone basting brush. It just feels good and sturdy and does its job well
Apple Wedger –a MUST for cutting apples quickly!
Large Chef’s Tongs – just a great pair of tongs. Doesn’t come open easily in the drawer
Ice Cream Scoop – best ice cream scoop I’ve ever owned!
Cheese Knife – wonderful cheese knife that lasts for forever
Rapid-Prep Mandoline – makes slicing and shredding all the things SO FAST! I don’t know how I lived without a mandoline.
Bonus Recipe
This recipe is from a Pampered Chef recipe I learned about a decade ago.
Do not be turned away with no tomato sauce and no meat. This pizza is DELICIOUS and a perfect way to sneak in some veggies to the kids!
Veggie Mushroom Pizza (with Freshly Milled Wheat)
Ingredients
- 1 lb bread dough I use the recipe from my "Simple Yeast Bread Recipe (see notes below)". The recipe makes two loaves of bread. Divide bread dough and use one half to make a regular loaf, the other half divide in two. You only need 1 of these halves to make the pizza crust.
- 2 TB olive oil
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 zucchini, sliced thin
- 4-5 roma tomatoes, sliced thin can use regular tomatoes, but roma tastes the best!
- 1/2 lb sliced mushrooms
- 2-3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese shred your own! Many times the shredded cheese from the store doesn't melt as well
- 1-2 TB Italian Seasoning
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Roll out bread dough onto pizza stone, baking sheet, whatever you like to use (I prefer stoneware). Keep bread dough THIN (no more than 1/2 inch thick). The crust is going to rise very well and you don't want it TOO thick. If needed, use more bread dough to get the right amount for your pan.
- Place olive oil and minced garlic into bowl. Mix. When dough is rolled out onto your pan, brush oil and garlic mixture all over your pizza crust with a basting brush.
- In a separate pan, saute mushrooms in about 1-2 TB butter (these are SO good, try not to eat them all). To saute mushrooms, melt the butter and cook the mushrooms until they are cooked (if using white mushrooms they will look brown). You can omit this step HOWEVER, uncooked mushrooms will leak out more juice when cooking and make your pizza quite moist and soggy depending on how many mushrooms you use. To lessen the moisture, saute the mushrooms!
- Time to assemble the pizza! Place sliced roma tomatoes all over the pizza, then zucchini on top of that, then mushrooms on top of that (or whatever order you desire, it doesn't matter).
- Cover pizza with shredded mozzarella. As much cheese as your heart desires.
- Sprinkle top of pizza with Italian Seasoning and salt, to taste
- Place pizza in preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes until cheese is nice, melted, and bubbly and the crust feels cooked. Cooking time may vary based on how thick your pizza is.
- Let rest for about 10 minutes, slice and ENJOY!
