Posted by in Step-by-Step Recipes

Planning weekend football snacks? These Pizza Nachos will be a big hit at game time! Repost from November 2012.

 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Pizza Nachos. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Dax Phillips of Simple Comfort Food.

 
Football season is a fun one at our house. My husband and I both enjoy watching football. We don’t always cheer for the same team (that is what makes it interesting) but we do agree that good food has to be a part of the football festivities. One of my husband’s latest obsessions is Dax Phillips’ amazing Pizza Nachos. I saw the recipe on Tasty Kitchen and knew Josh would love them. I decided to make them on football Sunday for a half-time snack and they were a hit!

To make the Pizza Nachos, you will need: butter, olive oil, garlic, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, tortilla chips, onion, pepperoni, black olives, green pepper, and Colby Jack cheese.

First, make the garlic cream sauce. Melt the butter, along with the olive oil, on medium to low heat.

Once melted, add in the minced garlic and stir.

Turn the heat up to medium-high. Add in the cream and milk and stir.

Keep stirring until it comes to a boil. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Pizza Nachos. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Dax Phillips of Simple Comfort Food.

Add in the salt, pepper, and chili flakes, and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring. The sauce will thicken pretty quick, so make sure you keep stirring.

Once the sauce is thickened, remove from the burner, and set aside.

Pizza and nachos are two of Josh’s favorite foods; now he can enjoy them all at once. These nachos are the ultimate game day snack. I love that the recipe is adaptable, too. If pepperoni isn’t your thing, leave it off. Try adding mushrooms, artichokes, roasted red peppers, chicken, etc. Top the nachos with your favorite pizza toppings. The options are endless!

Description

A new take on standard nachos by jazzing them up pizza style. Your nachos will never be the same.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE GARLIC CREAM SAUCE:
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • ½ Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced (or Use A Microplane If You Have It)
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream
  • ¼ cups 2% Milk
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • FOR THE NACHOS:
  • Your Favorite Crispy Tortilla Chips
  • ½ cups Garlic Cream Sauce (Recipe Included)
  • ¼ cups Onion, Diced
  • ½ cups Pepperoni, Cut Into Bite Size Pieces
  • ½ cups Black Olives Sliced
  • ½ whole Green Bell Pepper, Seeds Removed, Diced
  • 1 cup Colby-Jack Cheese, Shredded

Preparation Instructions

Start by making your sauce. Begin by melting the butter, along with the olive oil on medium to low heat. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic, and give a good stir. Raise the heat up to medium, to medium-high. Add in the cream and milk and give a good stir. Keep stirring until it comes to a boil. Toss in the salt, pepper, and chili flakes, along with the cheese, and continue stirring. The sauce will thicken pretty quick, so continue to stir. Once the sauce is thickened, remove from the burner, and set aside.

When you are ready to make your nachos, preheat your oven to 400ºF. I used a cast iron fajita skillet for this. If you do not have one, don’t worry, simply build your nachos on an oven-proof dish. First add your chips. Drizzle the garlic cream sauce all over the chips. Top with the onions, pepperoni, olives, and bell pepper. Make sure you get in there and do some great layering, leaving no chip behind.

Top with the Colby Jack cheese. Place in the preheated oven, and cook until the cheese is nice and bubbly and the veggies are warmed through, roughly 7 minutes or so.

As I sat down in front of the television to watch some football, I said to my wife that these could be my go-to nachos from here on out. Something about those deluxe pizza flavors when placed on a tortilla chip just gets your taste buds rocking. Give these a try and let me know what you think!

The great thing about these pizza nachos, much like any nacho, is that you can make them your own way. Don’t like pepperoni? Try something else. Don’t like olives? Try artichokes, or broccoli, or heck, you can see where I’m heading. Use your imagination. I can guarantee you will love them. By the way, the garlic cream sauce will keep in the fridge for a handful of days. Feel free to use the leftover sauce on a pizza.

Tasty Kitchen Blog: S'mores Pie. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Tonya of 4 Little Fergusons.

 
Summer isn’t summer without ooey, gooey S’mores! There is nothing better than sitting around a bonfire with some graham crackers, mallows, and Hershey bars. I love traditional S’mores, but I am always looking for fun and unique ways to enjoy S’mores. I love making S’mores cookies and bars, so when I saw TK member Tonya’s recipe for S’mores Pie, I knew it would be the perfect dessert for our summer BBQ.

Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted by in Baking, Step-by-Step Recipes

Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

 
I get asked all of the time what my favorite cookie is. I can never give a completely honest answer because I have more than one favorite. It just depends on my mood. I love all kinds of cookies—chocolate chip, snickerdoodlespeanut butter, oatmeal, lemon, chocolate, coconut … and the list goes on. There are too many good cookies out there so it’s really hard for me to narrow it down to one cookie. 

When I saw Monique’s recipe for Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, I knew had to try them. Peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chips all in one cookie! Yay! I love that this recipe combines three of my many favorite cookies. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

To make the cookies, you need the following ingredients: oats, baking soda, peanut butter, dark brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. I love that the ingredient list is so simple! 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

First, mix together the oats and the baking soda in a small bowl. Note-you can use gluten-free oats to make gluten-free cookies. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the creamy peanut butter. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Add the brown sugar.

Next, crack in the eggs. Make sure you omit the shell:)

Add the vanilla extract. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Turn on the mixer and beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Add the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Stir in the chocolate chips. Try not to eat the dough at this step. It is hard, so if you cave in, I wont’ tell.

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Use a cookie scoop to form your cookie dough balls. You can roll the dough with your hands, but it is pretty sticky, so I opted for the scoop. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Place the cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet and lightly flatten with your hands. Bake for 9-11 minutes in a 350ºF oven. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes … if you can wait that long! 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

Grab a stack of cookies and start eating! 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Monique of Ambitious Kitchen.

These cookies are super soft and chewy. And I love that there is no butter or flour involved. No butter means I can eat more cookies, right? Please say yes. 

Thanks Monique for an awesome cookie recipe! This recipe is going on my favorite cookie list!

Thick, chewy peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies made without butter or flour. Delicious!

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cups Rolled Oats (gluten-free If Desired)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 cup Old-fashioned Peanut Butter (I Used Skippy Creamy)
  • ⅔ cups Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2  Large Eggs
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ cups Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In small bowl, mix together the oats and baking soda; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix in dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, then gently fold in chocolate chips.

Roll cookies into 2-inch dough balls and place onto cookie sheet 2 inches apart, then barely flatten the top of the cookie with your hand. The dough should be pretty sticky so if you find this method annoying, simply use a cookie scoop to drop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. The cookies may not be as round in shape and perhaps a bit thicker, but that’s okay, they will still be delicious.

Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes and remove when edges barely begin to turn a golden brown. The cookies may look a little underdone, but they will continue to cook once you remove them from the oven. Cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

Makes 16-20 cookies.

Notes:
1. You can use less sugar or less chocolate chips to save calories—I have tried using 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and they turned out great!
2. Feel free to substitute almond butter or another nut butter in replace of peanut butter.
3. These cookies disappear quickly so I recommend doubling the recipe!

Greek Pizza

Posted by in Step-by-Step Recipes

Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

 
We love making homemade pizza. My husband Josh’s favorite pizza is his famous BBQ chicken deluxe pizza. He also likes sausage and pepperoni. He would eat the same three pizzas for the rest of his life, if I let him. I like to mix things up though. Pizza night shouldn’t be boring. A few of my favorites include our sweet potato kale pizza and our peach basil pizza. Josh always ends up loving my pizza creations, he just doesn’t like to admit it. 

I am always looking for new pizza ideas. When I saw Riley’s (My Daily Morsel) recipe for Greek Pizza, I told Josh it was a pizza night. I couldn’t wait to try this pizza. I love Greek salad and this pizza has all of the same fixin’s but in pizza form. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

To make the pizza, you will need the following ingredients: pizza dough, olive oil, mozzarella cheese, red onion, salt, pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce. 

Preheat the oven to 500°F. If your oven can go even higher than that, go for it and set it to its maximum temperature.

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

While the oven is preheating, lightly flour your work surface and lay down the pizza dough. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Roll the dough out into a thin circle, about 15 inches in diameter. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Carefully transfer the dough to a large baking sheet or pizza stone. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the dough. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the dough. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Add the red onion and season with salt and pepper. 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and all that wonderful cheese is melted.

Slice the pizza … 

 
 
 
Tasty Kitchen Blog: Greek Pizza. Guest post by Maria Lichty of Two Peas and Their Pod, recipe submitted by TK member Riley of My Daily Morsel.

Serve and enjoy! 

We loved this pizza. And when I say we, I mean we. Josh may love his meat pizzas, but he also loved this veggie Greek pizza. It is loaded with flavor. The toppings are fresh and the tzatziki sauce is a genius addition. We used our favorite tzatziki sauce recipe. It is super simple to make and goes so well with the Greek pizza. 

Thanks Riley for sharing your Greek Pizza recipe. We loved it and can’t wait to make it again. Make sure you visit My Daily Morsel for more tasty recipes.
