Pizza Dough

I prefer Jiffy pizza dough as it only involves a little kneading and 1/2 cup water... but Lily sure likes to play with the flour aka "white stuff". Yes, she is obviously moving quickly... or I have super bad photography skills.

We just added tomato sauce, mozzarella and parmesan. Lily prefers parmesan and Cam prefers mozzarella. I roasted some garlic and threw on some italian herbs.

Orchiette Bolgnese

Lily can now add all ingredients, grate cheese, and above all... tell me when the water is boiling.

1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 pound ground veal * i know, but it was just calling to me at Smith's!
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 chopped onion
1 diced carrot
1 diced celery
Salt and Pepper

Saute onion and vegetables until translucent. Add meat mixture and brown until no longer pink.

Add 1 cup milk and simmer until most liquid is absorbed

Add 1 cup wine (we used dry white) and simmer until most liquid is absorbed

Add 1 26 oz. can of tomatoes and let simmer 1.5 hours.

Boil salted water and and add 1 pound pasta (we used little ears but sticks will do)

Add a handful of parmesan reggiano and fresh flat leaf parsley.
