Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Made 2 batches of these for the Super Bowl party at church, and they were a hit. My daughter wants me to make more just for her.

My kids love these. I added a little garlic salt the second time a made them. Very yummy. They are also good with Canadian bacon.

My boys raved about these pinwheels. They're not really anything terribly new or creative but somehow the presentation really makes them fun. They're also delicious! A nice break from making pizza. No down sides to this cheap, fast, easy and delicious recipe!

These are very simple to make and very quick. Good for a quick little snack or to take on the go.

Made this with my granddaughter. We spread a thin layer of pizza sause on the dough before adding the pepperoni & cheeses. Very good!

Quick and easy. Add a little ranch dressing and red pepper flakes or Frank's Red Hot and you have exactly what they serve at Old Chicago! Perfect for entertaining.

They taste just like something made at Old Chicago for a quarter of the price!
