When I was growing up, our favorite place to go with my dad was Jim's Steaks on South Street in Philadelphia, PA. They had the best cheesesteaks. So whenever I pass through the city coming back from visiting my mother-in-law, I think of Jim's cheesesteaks. The other day I was home thinking about what I wanted to eat. I had pizza dough out waiting to be cooked. And, while looking at it, I thought of a cheesesteak. Yummy, cheesy cheesesteak. So, I decided I was going to make a cheesesteak pizza. With only the ingredients I had in my home, I rolled out the pizza dough and started. Here's the recipe I used.

Ingredients:

1 ball of pizza dough5 oz of chip sirloin steak (thinly cut steak)1 cup of tomato sauce2 cups of shredded mozzarella1 tsp of garlic /salt season(your favorite brand)1 tsp of oregano (dried)1/4 cup of sweet peppers (I used Whole Sweet Piquante Peppers)A small amount of cornmeal to help the pizza not stick to the stone or cookie sheet

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

First, season the meat with a sprinkle of garlic salt. Then, cook the chip sirloin steak in a cast iron skillet. Using the tip of the spatula, scrape apart the meat to help cook quickly until 95% cooked.

Then, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Dry the meat and remove any excess fat. Then, cut into bite-size pieces to help spread as a topping. Set aside.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface.

Now, add a sprinkle of cornmeal to the pizza stone or cookie sheet. This will help prevent sticking. Transfer the rolled-out pizza to the cornmeal stone or cookie sheet.

Customize the jar tomato sauce.

To give the jarred tomato sauce more flavor, mix in the garlic salt seasoning and the oregano.

Then using a large spoon, spread out the sauce on top of the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch edge.

Add shredded mozzarella to cover ... Visit the post for more details! The link is in the first comment.

I love this Italian meatloaf recipe. I added shredded vegetables to the meatloaf recipe. It tastes great and is easy to put together. It serves 6 to 8 people depending on how big the slices are. You can even put it together the night before. I like to freeze it after it is cooked too. It's a very versatile dish.

How to make an Italian Meatloaf Recipe?

Ingredients for this Italian Meatloaf Recipe

First, gather the below ingredients. Measure them out and set them aside.

1 pound 90% ground beef (I used 85%)

1/3 cup Tomato sauce and 1 cup tomato sauce

1 - 2 cups of Italian Herb Breadcrumbs

4-5 Carrots (when using small use 5, medium use 4)

1 Garlic Clove

2 Small Zucchini

1/2 Onion

1 Egg

3/4 cup of Parmesan Cheese or Romano

1/2 tsp Salt

1/8 tsp Pepper

1 tbsp Parsley

1 tbsp Basil

Cooking Instructions for an Italian Meatloaf Recipe

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Clean all the veggies and chop them into pieces that would fit in your food processor. Carrots, garlic, zucchini, onion, in the food processor and shred it.

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. I put the meat in first, then the shredded veggies, Parmesan cheese, salt pepper, parsley, basil, 1/3 cup tomato sauce. Then I scrambled the egg and placed it in the mix.

Shape into a meatloaf shape form and place it on parchment paper on the cookie sheet. Another option is to form the meat mixture into individual size loaves. Another option is to use non-stick spray and coat a muffin tin and make individual meatloaf muffins. You can also make a meatloaf form ring as well.

Cover with the 1 cup of pre-made tomato sauce and place in the oven. Cook for 60 minutes for the large meatloaf or until the meat reaches the temperature of 160 degrees. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

While going through my freezer I realized I had one pack of chuck left stashed at the very bottom. I thought I grabbed them all but alas, I didn't. So, I had to think of something to do with this meat that 1. didn't take long to cook, and 2. that my kids would love to eat. Here's what I came up with... Quick Sunday Chili. Sunday because it was Sunday when I made it. "Quick" because it only took me one (1) hour to cook. And, if you have made chili before, you know that chili usually takes a lot longer than one hour.

Easy Sunday Chili Recipe

Quick Sunday Chili Recipe Ingredients

2 garlic cloves minced or pressed 2 tbsp olive oil 1 shallot minced 1 lb Beef chuck (cut each beef chuck piece into quarters) 2-3 tbsp flour enough to coat the beef 2 tbsp chili powder 1.5 tsp cumin 1 can diced tomato 1 tbsp tomato paste 1 cup chicken broth 1 can of red beans 1 can of cornSalt and pepper to taste

Quick Sunday Chili Recipe Instructions

First, dredge the meat in the flour and set aside.

Then, add olive oil and garlic for 2 minutes, then add the shallot for 3 minutes.

Now, add the beef, cumin, and chili powder and stir. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until the meat is brown but not burned. Then, add broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and red beans.

Then, cook 40 minutes on low heat. Add corn and cook for 15 minutes on low.

Let it sit for 20 minutes, then serve. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Tip: I used a terracotta sauce pan which helped keep the temperature low. I found that it takes longer to heat up, but when it does, it stays warm for a while. If you decide to use a stainless steel or another type of saucepan, be sure the temperature remains low, or you will burn the bottom of the pan.

It is believed that Chimichurri originated in Argentina. According to my research, it may have been developed by gauchos (Argentine cowboys) to flavor and preserve grilled meats. It is a staple in Argentine and Uruguayan cuisine. We learned about chimichurri back in the late 1990s/2000s and enjoyed it very much during our many grilling dinners. While there are a variety of ingredients people add to the recipe, I have felt that this one is more mild but flavorful. Feel free to try my Chimichurri-Marinated Chicken Thighs recipe. It will only take about 15 minutes to put together and can be used on a variety of meats and non-meat dishes.

In the 1990s, my grandmother from Italy passed away. When my mother returned after her funeral, she brought me back the linen towels that had been given to my grandmother when she got married. In the 1930s, it was a tradition in Italy to provide linen towels to the bride. These towels had crocheted lace on the ends and were handmade by relatives. I was given five of them - some were in white and some in a cream color. They were linens that my grandmother never used and were in the original packaging.

Over the years, I couldn't decide what to do with these, as we didn't use linen towels in our home. This year, I have been doing many upcycling projects to honor other family members who have passed, and I wanted to revisit these items.

I decided to have my antique linen towels turn into a tablecloth. Follow along to see how I honored my grandmother by using these items that were given to me so long ago.

The Crochet Lace Runners were also passed down to me from someone who has since passed away. I was given the crochet lace runners, plus several more, from my sister-in-law. She was clearing out her husband's aunt's house and thought I could do something with them. I also loved that I was able to honor a family's cherished treasure.

Follow along to see how I created a brand-new tablecloth for our family's gathering.

Supplies I used to make this tablecloth from antique fabrics.

First, I gathered these supplies. There weren't that many. I didn't want this tablecloth to be permanently a tablecloth. I just wanted to use it for that day. That is why I made it this way.
