Personal Pizza


Personal Pizza (Paula Deen's My First Cookbook)
One half of an English Muffin
1 tablespoon pizza sauce
2 tablespoons grated Cheddar or Mozzarella cheese
Optional toppings:
4 slices of peperoni
1 teaspoon chopped green pepper (washed)
1 teaspoon chopped black olives

Turn on oven to 375 degrees.
Put the English Muffins on a cookie sheet cut side up. Spread it with the pizza sauce. Top the sauce with grated cheese. Top that with whatever toppings you would like.
Put the tray in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly, 6 to 8 minutes.
Cool for one minute so you don't burn the roof of your mouth.

Alyssa was SO proud making this recipe herself. She made it on a church night and made one for each of us. This was a great kid friendly recipe... and tasty too!
This coming month Alyssa and I are going to make more from Paula Deen's My First Cookbook.

Tio Frank's Ham Glaze


Ham Glaze

2 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Cloves
1/2 teaspoon Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/3 Cup Coke or Pepsi (NOT DIET!!)

Combine dry ingredients. Whisk together the soda with the dry ingredients until the right consistency.
Cook your spiral ham (it HAS to be spiral, Ibuy the Kirkland Brand at Costco) as instructed. 30 minutes before the ham is done apply glaze and baste or else your ham will turn black.

This is the BEST ham glaze you will ever eat. I feed this to people who hate ham but they like this. Nothing else will compare to this. I guarantee you!!
