I am looking for a recipe that I saw on here the other day. You take a pizza crust and make 8 slips in the center. Then you put steak, grilled onions, green peppers and mozzarella cheese, then you take one slit at a time and pull it to the outside of crust. Brush with egg yolk and bake.
When completed, place bowl of cheese sauce in the center for dipping.
Sounds like I have it, but that is what I remember. Not sure if that is all or not and I don’t know what temp or how long or bake.
Can you help me, Please?
Thank you
Stephanie
I am really sorry I don’t think this was my recipe. Perhaps did you see it on my facebook pqge?
Vicki
I saw that recipe. It is using Pillsbury pizza dough.
Missy Mitchell

My husband needs more omega 3 in his diet. I hate fish but maybe with your help I can get healthier too. Nothing fried. Only grilled or baked. I do have a George Foreman & will use it a lot. I just have no experience fixing fish with the correct spices. He has raved over Mitchells fish market in Conn when he went there for work. Hope you can help me with delish fish recipes however I will be using frozen here in the midwest.

Hi Stephanie,
I’ve been using your OG Zuppa Tuscany soup recipe for years and still get compliments every time I serve it, so thank you!
Wondering if there’s any chance you might take a look at Betty Crockers Sweet and Sour Chicken Helper to recreate? My daughter is nuts about it but I don’t feel particularly good about all the preservatives that are in packaged foods.
Hoping you’re a sweet and sour lover!
Thank you,
Susan
Stephanie
Thank you for the lovely compliment. I will have to add the Betty Crockers Sweet and Sour Chicken Helper to my list of recipes to develop.

Dear Stephanie,
I just found your site a few weeks ago. Today I was watching some of your videos. They are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your craft. So I have a challenge for you.
I eat breakfast and dinner only. I am not a lunch person. Everything surrounds bread so I gave that up many years ago. I got so turned off paying $15 for a simple sandwich. I want to have a snack in between so I am a big muncher. I have gravitated to carrots, yogurt and most recently Starbucks plain Oat Bar. I have been buying them daily i feel I am addicted to them.
I have searched the net for weeks, asked personnel at Starbucks, tried my own recipe, lied and said my tummy hurt (I am lactose intolerant) so I asked it had almond milk and was it baked. I think they think I am weird. I felt awful that it came to this but i have to know what’s in theses bars. I am now down at least $100 and with no satisfaction. Today I baked a new variation. A friend of a family member sent an ingredient list. It’s the best yet but still not there. Could it be the kind of oats? Wondering if I have to purchase organice oats. Most recipes say to pulse and blend 1/2 but I have stopped doing that as it makes them like a cake. Which is the wrong consistency. Why is something so simple just so complicated. I have used honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, corn syrup to sweeten. Water, soy milk, almond milk for liquid. Large oat, rolled oats, oats I cooked then baked,
I am a Soaper and make the most beautiful soaps. Why can’t I get a 5 ingredient recipe right.
Please help. Can you offer advise. Will you work for soap :-)) I will send you some beautiful bars if you can help me figure this out.
I look forward to your reply.
Sharon
Soaper aka wanna be Oat Bar maker
