Fired pie Phoenix Arizona

March 4, 2015

Fired pie is set up like a subway or a chipotle type place. You go through the line and pick what you want on your pizza. The pizzas are all 10 inch pizzas and cost $7.95 each with unlimited toppings. I ordered mine with the regular tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives and since I happened to see them I got tomatoes on top too. Dad decided to try one of their specialty pizzas, the steak and blue with steak onions peppers mushrooms and an olive oil sauce along with Gorgonzola. Mom ordered a pepperoni and mushroom I believe. After we got through the line we also ordered three drinks and paid and gave them our name. After we waited just a bit our three pizzas were ready.  

 

  Dad really enjoyed his and it was the best nontraditional pizza he’s had.

I thought mine was a pretty good pizza, it was a thin crust and the edges of it were kind of cracker like but the rest wasn’t so crunchy.


Fired pie had very good pizzas at a good price and it being very customizable made it a very good place as well.

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

A while back I had an idea, What if I put bacon in chocolate chip cookies.  So I searched online for some ideas and ended up just adding bacon and bacon fat to the Nestle toll house cookie recipe that was on the bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips and left out the nuts.

 Ingredients

2 1/4 cups  all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon  baking soda

1 teaspoon  salt

½  cup (1 stick) butter, softened

½ cup solid bacon fat

3/4 cup  granulated sugar

3/4 cup  packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon  vanilla extract

2  large eggs

2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

8 strips bacon, cooked and chopped

 

Instructions

 

PREHEAT oven to 375° F.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and bacon. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Ancho Chile Pumpkin Pie

This is my favorite Pumpkin Pie recipe that I found on myrecipes.com

 

 

Ancho Chile Pumpkin Pie

 

• Pastry for a single-crust 9-inch pie, purchased or homemade
• 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
• 1 2/3 cups whipping cream
• 3 large eggs, beaten to blend
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground dried ancho chiles
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

 

1. Line a 9-inch pie pan with the pastry and flute edges, then line pastry with foil. Partially fill with pie weights or dried beans.
2. Bake pie pastry in a 375° oven until edges are dry and barely golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and carefully remove pie weights and foil. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk pumpkin, cream, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground chiles, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
4. Pour pumpkin mixture into hot pie crust and return pie to oven. Bake until center barely jiggles when shaken, about 45 minutes. Let cool to room temperature on a wire rack, at least 2 hours. Cut into wedges to serve.

The Berkshire - Denver Colorado

October 29, 2014

I had a cardiology appointment Denver and the only logical thing to do after that is to get bacon. When we got there it was probably about one thirty and there were a few tables still taken but it was fairly empty. Our waitress took our drink orders which all three were Cokes. The machine was right behind where we were sitting so we didn't have to wait long. After this she gave us time to look at the menu I already knew one thing that I wanted was the bacon flight. So I checked out the menu to see what else might be good and in a bit I was ready. So when our waitress returned we ordered the bacon flight and mom and I both ordered a pork dip sandwich because it sounded delicious and dad got the genius burger. We all had french fries as our side. Our waitress said she would be back in a few minutes with our bacon flight.

And sure enough she quickly returned with a big square plate with four strips of bacon all different kinds candied, curried, garlic, and balsamic bacon with something to mark each one along with little toasted breads and goat cheese.   Lettuce and tomato was also on the side. This was $14 and kind of pricey, but how often do you find a bacon flight. These were all amazing I wasn't sure if I would like the curried or the balsamic but they were both really good as were the other two. As I kept trying all of them I kept having the same reaction of oh my God. This was the best bacon I've ever had anywhere. We had plenty of time to eat all of this and were never rushed which sometimes happens with appetizers. Once we were done with this our waitress took the plate and the individual plates away and shortly after our two pork dip sandwiches and dad's genius burger arrived.

This was a very good sandwich also the smoked pork was excellent and I also liked the onions and mushrooms on top along with the cheese. All this on a nice soft roll with au jus for dipping. Which seemed to have maybe a hint of soy sauce in there. What I didn't like was the french fries they were real skinny and kind of hard.

Dad’s genius burger was a half-pound burger which he ordered medium well. This was topped with bacon and fried cheese. He thought the burger was dry and kept having to add ketchup to it. He did really like the bacon on top and I'm not sure if he like the fried cheese or not, but it basically looked like a fish portion like thing but it was really fried cheese. After I got about halfway through my sandwich I just couldn't eat anymore. So a box it was. Which our waitress was quick to bring and she bagged it up and she dropped the check off.  The price was a little hefty for lunch, but was so good and probably worth it. We paid our bill and as we left the Berkshire, which now was completely empty of customers, our waitress thanked us. This place was excellent for the bacon and not bad for the rest of the food either.   This was without a doubt the greatest bacon I've ever had and even though it might be a little pricey I think it was well worth it.

Coors field Denver Colorado

We visited the extreme dogs stand at Coors field and of the many options I picked the Denver dog with green Chile, jalapenos and cheddar cheese. Other options were the Santa Fe dog with red chili, cheese, jalapenos and sour cream. And the bacon and blue dog with blue cheese sauce and bacon.

Grimaldi's pizza Denver Colorado

Every year we go to Phoenix and Grimaldi's is always one of the places I enjoy eating at.  Then when I found out one was coming to Denver I had to make sure to try it out.

 

 

 

 

We ordered two large 18 inch pizzas one with pepperoni and one with sausage. They were very good I liked the pepperoni one better mostly because I don't like sausage too much. The pepperoni I thought was delicious and one of the best pizzas I've had and just like what I remember getting in Arizona. I ended up not being as hungry as I thought, so we took the rest home and it was still pretty good reheated the next day.
