It's not every day you get to write something for one of your favorite blogs. I'm truly honored to be part of Pizzalicious!!! If you know me, you know that I too have a true love for all things pizza and I'm always excited to see all the different takes and variations on it.

Does anyone remember this? It's one in a sea of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles books geared towards kids in the early 1990s. What's special about this one in particular is that it contains the recipe for the first pizza I ever got to make!!

Splinter's Eazy Pizzas are basically pizzas prepared on English muffins then baked in the oven. They're pretty simple, but there was something pretty great about being able to make your own pizzas as a kid with whatever toppings you could imagine. My sister and I came up with some pretty intense combinations!! It was always fun just to dig through the fridge and experiment.

Here's the link for the recipe: Splinter's Easy Pizzas!

They're still great for snacking or if you don't have a lot of time to cook!! Enjoy!!

I'm looking forward sharing what I find in my pizza travels on here!! I owe a big thank you to Lauren for always being awesome and for bringing me on board. Pizza Power!!!

Tales of Pizza: Part Four: Barquitos

When I was a young student of Richmond Public Schools, we were often served a very weird pizza-like dish called "barquitos" for lunch in the cafeterium (cafeteria+auditorium+gymnasium). I have NEVER been able to find out anything about barquito pizza on the internet. I did however, find out that barquito means little boat in Spanish. A barquito is basically a french bread pizza topped with seasoned taco meat (probably left over lunch the day before) and cheddar cheese. I feel like maybe there was a similar dish with sloppy joe meat but who can really be sure. I have done my best to block out school lunch from my memories. What is this dish? I only ever had it in elementary school. Is it the concoction of a lunch lady? Is it a real food item? What is a barquito?

topping idea, just for you pizzalicious fans: Crisp Bartlet Pear, sliced Sweet Gorgonzola, Lemon, Pepper. Just sayin'

Blow Toad - Richmond, VA

Last Friday, some friends and I went to a preview of Blow Toad, Richmond's first and only coal fired pizza place. This is the new restaurant of two-time nominee for the James Beard Award and lauded local restaurateur Jimmy Sneed. Sneed has had his hands in several well-known and award-winning restaurants including Richmond's The Frog and the Redneck (now closed) and Chicago's SugarToad . He also is co-owner of the acclaimed veg-friendly restaurant and pizzeria Fresca on Addison with his daughter. The chef de cuisine is Nikoli Creatore, a veteran of Balliceaux which has always had an exceptionally creative and delicious menu. Naturally with all these accolades I was expecting some awesome pizza but what we got fell far short of my expectations. At this very generous, FREE preview the team at BlowToad were dishing up pizza, samples of entrees and appetizers and dessert. The waitress came to take our order for two pies and three ap/entree samples and drinks...
