Creative Cooks

Every weekend Danny and I have a date. This can be very expensive. Since we are both in school and we both work minimal amounts we decided we needed to find ways to save each other money. One way has been to cut out going to restaurants as often as we were. Obviously we are still hungry, just because you have no money doesn't mean you don't get hungry! And everyone that knows me knows that I eat a lot.... even Danny is shocked sometimes :) Anyway, for the past like month and a half we have been cooking our own dinners. We have made pizza,ham and cheese hot pockets and buffalo chicken tacos. The pizza is his favorite and he says he prefers it over dominos any day. After making it the first time,which is the pics I have posted, we fixed somethings... the dough for instance, the first time we made it we used a pizza crust packet who knows how long Rosanne had it in her basement, but it didn't spread very easily and it didn't raise up like crust is supposed to, so it was like a cracker. The next time we made it, we used Rhodes loaves which worked spectacularly, it raised and was golden brown. It was soft,yet crunchy. Glad to say it was satisfying. 

As you can see in the picture Danny got very involved and looks like a 5 yr old with the flour on his face :) Good thing he doesn't read my blog!
  The hot pockets were my favorite, this was a....(I don't think you can call it a recipe,but a way to organize ingrediants) but you take cressent rolls and you fill them with cut up ham and shredded cheese, I personally don't like deli sliced ham in things like this, I would rather thick chunks of ham that you can acutally chew on and it doesn't leave behind all the juice, so we found exactly that, a thick slice of ham all packaged just waiting for me. We used honey baked ham, which was actually quite delicous and not disgusting at all... then you rub some egg over the top of them so that they brown, pop them in the oven on 350 and wait about 15 min.
