I just have to say, y'all can cook.

My wife can. I excel at opening boxes and making flatbread pizza.

That's about as far as my culinary skills go too and based on the stuff you've posted on this thread, you're one lucky guy.

Still some of the best corn dogs I have ever had.

So, Big Booger loves the George Forman Grill, but I do not. I've had if for a long time but never used it because I didn't like how the food tasted. Burnt and not grilled. Until now.

He loves to use it to make "Panini" sandwiches a la George Forman. I tried it and he was right. They are pretty damn tasty. Also had some veggie soup with it but the pic didn't turn out.

95% of my cooking is with the George Foreman grill. Ranging from steak, chicken, fish, pork, turkey, eggs, omelettes, hash browns, french fries, potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, stir fry, hot dogs, pancakes, sandwiches, and most anything else that will fit. It also cooks faster than anything I have ever used. I have the larger grill and absolutely LOVE it.

Hmm I have not tried the corn dogs in there yet. Challenge accepted.

I nuke my corn dogs but not all the way. I then toast them in the toaster on medium-high setting and take them out when I see them fry for a little bit. Try that first, then the GFG.

Last wek I bought 24 chocolate chip cookies for my son to bring to school today. It was difficult to keep my hands off of them, but knowing he needed them for school helped me refrain.

Unfortunately we forgot them at home this morning so there's nothing keeping me from gorging myself besides the inevitable guilt.

So far, guilt is losing by two...

My first experience with Screamin Sicilian frozen pizza. This stuff is IMPRESSIVE!!! Hands down, the best frozen pizza I've ever had, EASILY!

@DaveTheStalker - my boys and I had the Mambo Italiano when we were in Orlando last December and I seem to recall it being quite good. 👍

I can't say I've really looked but I don't remember ever seeing them in Fargo, though.

 

[Omnis]

I've had Screamin's. It's not very good. It's like a Digiorno with a TON of meat and toppings piled on. Makes a substantial grease puddle. The toppings are high quality though, for a frozen pizza. However, the quality of a pizza depends almost wholly on the crust.

They have a pizza "finder" on their web page. I knew this was special when most of the toppings were in the bottom of the plastic wrap! Like a build-your-own pie. Describing themselves as the 'craft beer of pizza' is quite accurate!

It's nothing like Digiorno @Omnis , it's more like a flatbread instead of a 90% dough. Digiorno is very much like Little Skeazers. All dough!

 

[Chrunch Houston]

@DaveTheStalker I see they have that at the Kroger near me. I will be trying it soon. I always keep a bag of shreaded mozzarella cheese in my freezer, it looks like it may need a little extra.

As far as the (better crust through chemistry) Digiorno goes. I had it once when it first came out. There was something about that self rising crust that turned me off.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

I think I may get Bessie's Revenge next time, see how they do a straight up cheese pizza. The cheese was pretty gooey, even after letting the pie settle for the usual 5 minutes after it comes out of the oven or off the Pizzazz. Once I get pretty familiar with how their pizzas cook, I think they will be quite good on the grill!

GTFO, it's not at all like a flatbread. It's doughy and lays in your stomach like a rock. The best frozen pizzas are home run inn with its cracker crust, and funnily enough a simple totinos with its flakey crust.

If I want anything fancier than that, I'll ring up my local Anthony's.

I agree. And they are only $1.25.

I added a little parmisaen cheese to this one and baked it on a cookie sheet to keep the crust from getting too crispy.

I buttered the foil, so the bottom did brown. Then I added jalapenos and folded it in half and ate it like a sandwich.

The four of us rode bike to Dairy Queen where I had a cookie dough Blizzard.

And finished my wife's salted caramel Blizzard.

And my son's chocolate shake.

I should be sugar crashing any minute now...

Crust, cheese, and sauce (for me anyways). Sauce is a big deal for me. And definitely cheese. If the cheese peels off like a layer straight off the top, not very good usually.

Lunch for today: "Rising Shroom" burger:

That fried thing sitting on the patty is a large piece of oyster mushroom coated on tempura batter.

Heathen! Totinos are meant to be baked right on the rack. It's disgusting when it's all floppy-crusted after being baked on a foil or baking sheet. You are depriving yourself of one of the golden nuggets of industrialized pizza production.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

@Omnis , I almost always cook it on a rack, but I always add extra mozzarella cheese. If I have no mozzarella, or I'm in the mood for something different, I will sandwich it.

Here is one with leftover bacon and extra frozen mozzarella added.

Cooking it on this rack keeps the oven rack cleaner.

Also, before you start screaming about me having 'leftover bacon', it was that skinny precooked bacon from the supermarket. Believe me, if it was home cooked bacon - there would be no leftovers.

I was too hungry to stop and take a picture but I made a pizza with Naan for the crust, topped with pepperoni, bacon, onion, sweet peppers and garlic. Definitely one of my better homemade pizzas.

 

[Brett]

I just finished off some chicken and waffles, two fried eggs over easy, and working on a third mimosa. Chicken and waffles is just about the greatest thing ever.

 

[TB]

The burger, from bottom to top - onion bun, mayonnaise, turkey burger, bacon, provalone cheese, huge slab of cooked onion, sweet peppers, lettuce, Devil's Spit and onion bun. With a side of Maple Cured Bacon Bush's baked beans and Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos.

Descartes made me depressed and eat sweets as well.

Shrimp and grits and scrambled eggs with toast and a Bloody Mary for brunch.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

Ok, I had to try one. $8.99.

It was kind of a mess when I unwrapped it.

It cleaned up nice though.

I have to say, this was one of the best frozen pizzas I have ever eaten. The crust was good. The sauce, while a little sweeter than I prefer, tasted very fresh, and there was a lot of it. Overall the quality of this thing was very high. The only thing is... well, I could have bought 7 Totinos for the price.
