I add some baby asparagus
Well,I still prefer regular pasta,maybe I'm not use to the taste and texture.It's the same apply to brown rice.I think it's hard to eat wholewheat unless we get use to it.Elliot refused to touch this pasta at all.While Mishu just eat the shrimp and some spaghetti.At last I have to eat all or else it will just go to trash.This pasta is healthy and good for people who have health problem like diabetes,high blood pressure ,on diet and etc who can't have regular white flour pasta or rice..But you are welcome to can eat this pasta even you don't have health problem.As they said preventation is better than cure!!
Shrimp Scampi with Wholewheat Pasta
Pepperoni Pizza
Basic Pizza Dough Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups flour
I cup warm water (between 95° and 115° F.)
2 tsp yeast (2 tablespoons, I like my dough a little yeasty. You can use less)
2 tsp sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
Method by Hand
1:Pour warm water into a bowl. The water should be about 85 to 115° F. Test it with your hand. It should feel very warm, but comfortable. Add the honey and salt. Mix on low until well blended.
2: Add the yeast and mix. Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of flour and the olive oil and mix until well blended. Add the rest of the flour (and any other additions) and mix well. The dough should turn into a ball. If the dough does not ball up because it's too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time until it does. If your mixture is more like a batter, add flour one tablespoon at a time. Adding water or flour as needed to get the right consistency will assure you always get a perfect dough. Just remember to do it in small amounts.
3:Once the dough is balled up, place the ball on a floured board and knead for about a minute. This builds the gluten which helps the dough to rise and become fluffy when cooked. Place the dough in a plastic grocery bag or a covered bowl and store in a warm, dry area to rise.After about 45 minutes the dough should have about doubled in size. Show it who's boss and punch it down. That's right, give it a good smack so it deflates.
4: Let it rise for another hour to an hour and a half. The dough is now ready to be rolled out. You can punch the dough down one more time if you want and wait another hour or two before rolling out. The choice is yours.
5:This dough can also be made in advance and refrigerated for a day or so, or even frozen. Be sure to let it come to room temperature before using.
Ingredients for Filling:
100 gm sliced Boar Head pepperoni
I bottle pasta sauce(meat flavor)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Spread on the dough on the pizza pan,then spread pasta sauce and cheese .Bake in oven at 375 F for 30 minutes before lay more cheese and pepperoni on top of the pizza.And bake for another 10 minutes .Then ready to serve warm.
Note:You can use any filling you like or have,as long you the dough is right and good.If you have a big family a homemade pizza is ideal coz it's going save you alot of money.

Beef INFO and Advice
"Beef tenderloin steak is also called filet or filet mignon. These extremely tender, boneless steaks are cut from the whole tenderloin."
"Round tip steaks, also called 'minute,' 'breakfast,' or 'sandwich' steaks, cook very quickly; take care not to overcook or they will be dry."
"A Porterhouse steak differs from a T-Bone in that the Porterhouse tenderloin diameter is no less than 1 1/4 inches measured across the center compared to the T-Bone tenderloin, which is not less than 1/2 inch."
"Delmonico" is a fancy name for ribeye. You'll find the word Delmonico more commonly in the Northeast (the original Delmonico's Restaurant was in NYC); ribeye is the label of choice in the Southeast.
Coals hot enough?"Approximately 30 minutes prior to grilling, prepare the charcoal fire so coals have time to reach medium temperature. At medium, the coals will be ash-covered. To check the temperature of the coals, spread the coals in a single layer. CAREFULLY hold the palm of your hand above the coals at cooking height. Count the number of seconds you can hold your hand in that position before the heat forces you to pull it away: approximately 4 seconds for medium heat. Position the cooking grid and follow recipe directions. (For gas grills, consult the owner's manual for preheating instructions.)"
How to make hamburger patties"Use a gentle touch when shaping ground beef patties. Overhandling will result in a firm, compact texture after cooking. Don't press or flatten with spatula during cooking."
Buying beef"Make sure the package is cold and has no holes or tears. Excessive liquid in a package may indicate improper storage or beef that is past its optimum shelf life."
"Look for beef that is firm to the touch, not soft."
"Choose beef with a bright cherry-red color, without any grayish or brown blotches. The exception is vacuum-packaged beef, which, due to a lack of oxygen, has a darker purplish-red color. When exposed to the air, it will turn to a bright red." Continue.....To...Read.....More......
