Quick Recipe: Maple Glazed Pulled Chicken

Back last year we featured a delicious Fall-themed pizza which had an awesome mini-recipe inside of it. On the pizza we added some pulled chicken, cooked in an awesome combination of maple syrup and soy sauce. It was sweet, sticky, dark, complex, and other adjectives which could describe your sex-life. Most importantly of all though, it was delicious. For today’s quick recipe, we’re featuring the full details for it. Put it on sandwiches or just eat it on its own, it doesn’t matter, just put it in your body somehow.

The Snack Report: Oreo Thins

Oreo just keeps on crankin’ out new flavors and varieties. Earlier this year, we took a look at S’Mores Oreos, which were actually pretty awesome. On one hand, it’s getting kind of tiring seeing them shill out inane ideas like red velvet and key lime, but at the same time there is a tiny bit of excitement in seeing what crazy crossover they’ll do next. Their newest addition to the product family is a bit of an enigma, Oreo Thins. They’re essentially your regular old original Oreos, but half the thickness. That’s all there is to them, yet they’ve caused a little bit of a stir on social media and people I know for whatever reason. Apparently people are interested in them.

Smoothie Sunday: Berry Cherry Smoothie

This is another one of my, “I need to use up this fruit” smoothie creations (as opposed to a “thought out a few days in advance” one).  Funnily enough, it seems like my last minute creations end up being some of my favorites.  Then again it’s hard to go wrong with a fairly classic combination like this.

Pizza Lab #32: Nacho Pizza

I think we can all agree that nachos (real nachos, not the kind from 7-11 that are just chips with fake cheese poured over them) are delicious.  But they can be a bit messy to eat.  Your hands can get dirty, and you can drop toppings anywhere along the trip between the plate to your mouth.  Well, what if I told you that we have found a way to make nachos less messy to eat, but still just as delicious?  Impossible you say?  Nothing is impossible with the power of…pizza!  That’s right.  We combined nachos and pizza and came up with both the neatest nachos you’ve ever eaten, and also one of the yummiest pizzas.

We’ve been on a bit of a nacho kick lately here at PCFG headquarters ever since we discovered how easy it is to make homemade tortilla chips.  That’s mainly where the inspiration for this pizza came from.  There are some challenges, and always some risk when combining a food that stands on its own with another (lest we forget the Chinese food pizza, which to this day is probably our least successful pizza lab).  But after some careful planning we decided on the best approach to this pizza, and it ended up working really well!
