Pizza Lab #34: Teriyaki Burger Pizza

Earlier this year, Erik was lamenting not eating hamburgers anymore because he missed making teriyaki burgers. So I suggested – why not just make turkey teriyaki burgers instead? And thus Erik got his burgers back. And we enjoyed some really yummy turkey burgers this summer. I had never had a teriyaki burger before, but Erik was raving about them so much, obviously now I wanted to have one too. And guys, they’re really good. They’re like your favorite stir-fry in burger form. So when the discussion for this month’s Pizza Lab rolled around something capturing our summer of turkey burgers seemed appropriate. We fully intended to make this pizza as a bit of a last hurrah to summer, much as the month of September itself is. Unfortunately time got the better of us and we ended up making this pizza on the first day of autumn. But it’s the thought that counts right?

Smoothie Sunday: Autumn Sweet Potato Smoothie

Well friends, fall is officially upon us, which means that Smoothie Sunday is wrapping up for the season. Since my mission this year was to try to work more veggies into my smoothies it seemed appropriate to begin and end with a vegetable-based smoothie. It’s just coincidence that both of them happened to be orange. This smoothie is perfect for the first week of autumn, and it will have you ready for Thanksgiving even though it’s still a couple of months away.

What you'll need.

The Snack Report: Thomas’ Apple Pie English Muffins

I first spotted these limited edition English muffins while I was at the store just picking up milk. They looked and smelled delicious, so I made a mental note to pick some up sooner rather than later (can’t dilly-dally with limited edition things when you don’t know how long they’ll be around for!). Luckily for me, they ended up being on sale the next week, so off to my house they went. Thomas’ makes good English muffins, so I figured these would be pretty good.

Quick Recipe: Maple Glaze Dipping Sauce

Happy Fall to everyone out there whom is a fan of the season, or just seasons in general! While admittedly my favorite season is Summer, Autumn is a close favorite, even though it leads into shitty, cold, awful Winter. Nevertheless Fall features some of the most awesome, unique food combinations you’ll see the entire year. You get the tail-end of Summer’s bountiful vegetables, combined with all the delicious Fall harvest of apples, pumpkins, squash, and random spices.

We’re featuring a super-Fall-y dish next week, but in preparation, we offer this dipping sauce that goes with it, or any other number of foods you want to get some nice, dark, Fall sweetness added to. Especially try them on our apple fries.

Recipe Time: Grilled French Toast

Wait! Stop! Don’t drool directly onto your dumb iPad! Shit’s expensive, dude.

Summer may be on its way out, but there’s still plenty of time left for grilling before November hits (yes, that’s right word of God states November is officially the end of grilling season). We recently decided to toy around with something that’s a bit of a missing link in the culinary chain. Grilling is great, and throwing stuff on the grill that doesn’t normally get grilled results in awesome things. Hell that’s one of the reasons why grilled desserts ended up becoming a thing. Yet, despite all that has been done with grilling, breakfast has mysteriously remained outside of the barbecue loop… Sure, you may once in a while hear about people grilling bacon, but it’s usually on the side of lunch or dinner. We decided to jump headfirst into this mystery, and came up with something magical.
