I know this post could have been a bit more helpful if it came before Thanksgiving, but it’s not like most people were going to make duck last Thursday anyway. So let’s just move on, OK? Last year I smoked a turkey for the big day. It was such a success that I was basically [...]

Pizza is easy, right. Yup. Even making the dough is pretty easy. But seriously, even my super-easy, no knead dough intimidates people. And you have to plan ahead. You have to mix it, let it rise, stretch it out, bake it. Honestly, sometimes I just want pizza that I don’t have to make from scratch. [...]
