I'm eating seaweed sesame rice chips and a "reduced guilt" frozen stuffed shells entree from TJ's. Just got off work and am lazy and hungry.
I just buy thick chicken breasts and cut a slit in them as far as possible to make a big pocket inside each breast. Then I mix cream cheese with shredded cheese and diced up jalapenos. I stuff that into the chicken and then bake in the oven. For mine I just do a thin layer of cream cheese in the pocket with slice of gouda.
bibliothecary That sounds delicious! Do you have a recipe to share?
I sort of made it up, but here goes:
Saute a diced onion in olive oil, add 2 cloves minced garlic. Add a 10 oz can of enchilada sauce, 4 cups chicken stock, a can of fire roasted tomatoes, can of drained black beans, 1 t cumin, and 2 chicken breasts. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cover. Simmer until the chicken is rip apartable with forks. Shred chicken and return to pot. Grate 8 oz of sharp cheddar and add to soup in handfuls. Stir until melted and well combined. Salt to taste. Serve immediately.
Do not use packaged shredded cheese. Buy the block stuff and grate it yourself. It'll melt better because the packaged stuff has this weird coating.

This sounds so good!

I add shredded cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of baking.

I planned (for the 2nd time in a week) to attempt to make homemade pizza on my new pizza stone, but I chickened out again. I read online that you have to heat up the pizza stone while you're pre-heating the oven, and then you have to use some pizza paddle thing (which I do not have) to remove the pizza after you make it. This, plus trying to successfully make gluten free pizza crust, just sounded like too much to tackle after cleaning the house all day, so I gave up and went out for delicious GF pizza instead.
Does anyone know these pizza stone secrets?? Is it really that complicated??

I have never done any of that with my stone. I've never had any issues, maybe I've been lucky? I bought mine through pampered chef and the instructions didn't say anything about preheating the stone...I've had mind several years. I remove it from the oven with normal pot holders.
My mom said the exact same thing when I asked her about it. So you just make your pizza like normal, and bake it on the stone?

It's not that hard, and you don't need the paddle. I know nothing about the gluten freed business, but I have no paddle and no probs. you do want to pre-heat the stone in the oven and the paddle would be handy, but I just roll my crust out on a cutting board make the pizza and slide the whole thing onto the stone. The first time I was scared I would make a huge mess, but it worked great. You can do it! Pizza stone will change your life!!
******, lemoncupcake, You guys have the same spirit animal. Just in case it hasn't been pointed out yet. Not that it matters I guess being so late in the month.
