We used a packaged pizza crust mix, but made our own sauce. PIZZA SAUCE Serves: 2-1/2 cups INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS: In a medium bowl, stir tomato sauce and tomato paste until combined and smooth. Add remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Store in a jar or covered container in refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. Pumpkin Bread
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, sugar, baking soda, and spices. In mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, oil, eggs, and water. Add dry ingredients and mix just until all ingredients are incorporated. Pour into 1 regular or 2 small greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until knife or toothpick comes out clean. Cool on rack. This week we will be working with fruits and vegetables. We'll make seasonal treats at the end of the week.
Chicken Tenders are easy to work with and cook quickly; they can be prepared in many different ways. We marinated ours overnight and baked them.
Simple Marinade (for 2 lbs. of chicken) ½ tsp. salt ½ tsp. pepper 1 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. paprika ¼ tsp. parsley (optional) 3 Tbsp. olive oil 1. Mix dry ingredients in big ziploc bag. 2. Add olive oil and mix well. 3. Add chicken tenders. 4. Seal bag and mix well. 5. Refrigerate overnight. For easier clean-up, line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. We also used a little nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. For dipping sauces we used BBQ, Buffalo, Teriyaki, and Sweet & Sour. BBQ was just heated sauce from a bottle. Buffalo sauce was Frank's Red Hot sauce heated with a little melted butter to taste. We used 2 Tbsp. for 1/2 a regular size bottle. (The butter mellows the flavor.) Teriyaki Sauce ¼ cup soy sauce 1 small can pineapple juice ½ tsp. ground ginger ½ tsp. garlic powder 2 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 Tbsp. honey 1. Heat above ingredients in small pan over medium heat. 2. Add 2 Tbsp. cornstarch mixed with ¼ cup water. 3. Stir until thickened. If too thick, add a little water and stir to desired consistency. Sweet and Sour Sauce ½ cup packed brown sugar 1 Tbsp. cornstarch ⅓ cup vinegar ⅓ cup chicken broth 1 Tbsp. soy sauce ¼ tsp. garlic powder ¼ tsp. ground ginger Combine ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened and bubbly. Serve warm. We will continue exploring some different regional and international cuisines in the coming weeks. At the end of this week, we will prepare chicken tenders.
