Let’s just call it outside-in pizza.

We all love the efficiency and ease of the one-pot wonder: a meal that’s made in one vessel – thrown together and baked or cooked – ready for the after-skiing (or in my case, snowboarding) meal.
A steaming hot pot of spicy chili was always on the menu, waiting for my family when we got home from the mountain – the best thing to fill my hungry tummy after a long day of racing. Thawing out to a great comfort meal is an important part of life here in the Northeast, and we Vermonters certainly participate in plenty of bone-chilling cold-weather winter activities.

It’s hard to believe 2013 is already here.
New years always come with question after question, if you ask me. Little questions, like “Where did the time go? ” and “Where exactly did I put that gift card?”
The new year brings much bigger questions, too. I know I’ll be asking…

Recipe: Life Skills Basic Bread Recipe
A guest post from Life Skills Bread Baking Program manager/senior instructor Paula Gray.
Don’t you love happy endings? I do. This story begins at the end. And, it’s the story that is 20 years old.

THIS is what happens at the end of the story that is repeated week after week in schools all over the country – lots and lots of bread. How did all this beautiful bread get here? And where is it going?

Recipe: Roasted Vegetable Focaccia

Zucchini.
The fun just never ends, does it?
Sure, you can shred it to make cake, or frittata, or moist, raisin-packed muffins.
You can turn it into a restaurant-style (think bloomin’ onion) appetizer.
I’m so there.
Still, each of these recipes probably uses just one zucchini. Or maybe two small ones.
When what you really need, at this time of year, is something that actually makes a dent in the zuke supply.
The horn of plenty has suddenly become the horn of too much – what’s a gardener/baker to do?

Recipe: Eggplant Parmesan Calzones

Who loves Eggplant Parmesan?
I know at least some of you are interested in this layered casserole of sautéed, breaded eggplant, cheese, and red sauce.
After all, according to the Google reports I check, “eggplant parmesan” (or “parmigiana”) is one of the top 10 recipes people are looking for, nationwide, in July and August.
So what’s up with that?

Recipe: Breakfast Pizza

A few weeks ago, Baking Sheet writer and editor Susan Reid and I were discussing our latest projects. This often leads to our discussing our latest dinners too, and often turns into an all-out “You’ve GOT to try this!” festival.
I think Susan is one of the most creative cooks I’ve ever met and she has called me “devil woman” on several occasions for my contributions. On this day, however…
