Philly Cheese Stake Pizza

This is fun recipe I sort of Emilyized and I think it is worth sharing.

Pizza dough
Alfredo Sauce
Half of a Green Bell pepper
quarter of a small onion
Smoked provolone cheese - as much as you want
Deli cut roast beef - I like it cut a little thicker for this recipe - as much as you want

Prepare your dough and roll it out on a cookie sheet. Then spread on your favorite jarred Alfredo sauce, don't add too much. If you add too much it's flavor will over power the other ingredients. Then sprinkle on the very thinly sliced green pepper and onion. Sprinkle on half of the cheese ( which I cut up the pre-sliced kind into long strips. After lay on cut strips of roast beef add as much as you want, am not a huge beef fan so I didn't add to much but if you are beef lovers have at it! Then add the other half of the cheese. I sprinkled on a little salt and pepper . and popped it in the oven until cooked and bubbly. I think it is really fun way to do something different when you are making pizza at home.

Thai Fajitas

If you are a little shy about Thai food this might not be your favorite dish but we loved it. It is a recipe I sort of made up and it is a simply version of Thai food with ingredients most people have on hand - no fish sauce required!

Meat filling
1 pound sliced chicken
salt and pepper to taste
1 bell pepper RED
2 TB minced bell pepper
2 garlic cloves minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 sliced green onion

Sauce
3 TB peanut butter
2 1/2 TB Soy Sauce
2 1/2 TB lime juice
1 teaspoon Oriental sesame oil

Extras
tortillas
1 large tomato sliced
ice burg or butter lettuce

Add sliced chicken to pan and salt and pepper to taste. when half when cooked add bell pepper, garlic, red pepper flaks and ginger. Cook until the bell pepper is tender. Then add the cilantro.

While cooking prepare the sauce. Add all the sauce ingredients and stir until smooth. I added a little cilantro to it too, but I think it isn't necessary.

Then add the meat mixture to a tortilla, top with lettuce, tomato, and sauce and dig in. Its different and fun.
