Taco Pizza

Mexican food is one of my favorite types of food. Guacamole, sour cream, nacho's, melted cheese, salsa sauce... need I say more? One of my favorite dishes is enchiladas, with homemade enchilada sauce, homemade guacamole and also topped with a big portion of sour cream. Yes I am drooling right now. And yes, this has a lot of calories (that's why I don't eat it much, but when I do eat it, I eat it goood.)

I found this video on YouTube the other day, and then I found this video as well. And well, the taco pizza was made! And let me tell you, it was de-licious! (for the recipe, check the second video out)

Taco Pizza

Ingredients

I have no exact measurements for this recipe, because you can make it exactly like you want it. And that's the fun of it! Also the directions speak for themselves, but I mention it anyways.

Storebought pizza dough
1 can Tomato sauce
1 tsp Mexican spice mix (like taco mix or something else you like)
Cheese
Guacamole

Sour cream

Natural nacho's
Olives

Other vegetables for topping

Method
1. Preheat oven as instructed on the dough package. Rollout your pizzadough. Mix the spiceswith the tomato sauce (this is ofcourse optional, but I like this spicy) and spread it over the dough.
2. Add your cheese, olives and other vegetables.

3. Bake as said on the packaging.

4. When baked, put guacamole, sourcream and nacho's on top and cut in pieces.

Enjoy!

Katharine Hepburn's brownies

 I have been searching for a good brownie recipe quite some while, and have been through about a dozen recipes. This was the last one I tried out, and it's a keeper! I have been making it ever since for special occasions. It's a fudge-type brownie, which is my favorite.
It's probably one of the easiest recipes out there, so perfect for those busy days where you have to bake something fast.

All of the ingredients, except the chocolate, vanilla extract and salt.

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven.

2. Butter and flour an 8 inch (20 cm) square baking pan. Melt the chocolate and butter in a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water.

Whisk the eggs

3. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Next, stir in the vanilla extract and eggs.

4. Finally, stir in the flour, salt and chopped nuts. I didn't have any nuts when making it this time, but I REALLY recommend adding some pecans! Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 - 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve at room temperature or chilled. These freeze very well.
 Makes 16 brownies.

I cut mine into squares and put them in this cute tin. Cute and yummy!
