Sarah Jean Melito Blog

Crustless Cast Iron Pizza Skillet

Our Home

11 May

What’s up guys!! So when I originally started my blog, I was sharing recipes here and there and eventually I stopped because I was so into home decor and house projects. Well now that my family is growing, it feels like all I do is cook. I actually love to cook and learned a lot from my dad because he was always trying new recipes and making me try things even when I didn’t want to. I’m actually thankful he instilled that in me to try things and if I didn’t like it, it wasn’t a big deal. He always just wanted me to taste it before I made a decision on eating it or not. So anyway, I want to start sharing recipes again! A lot of the time I throw things together and forget what I use, and I love looking through cookbooks and finding new meals for us to enjoy.

Since we homeschool and are home a lot, we make almost 90% of our meals from scratch. It’s important to me to know where our food comes from and how it’s prepared! With that being said, we’re not perfect and definitely enjoy eating out and ordering pizza once a week. So today I am going to share a meal I threw together for lunch! It was so easy and you only need a few ingredients. A perfect meal for lunch or dinner.

This is a great low carb meal and also a good one for picky eaters, because who doesn’t like pizza!? We have tons of ground beef in our deep freezer because every year we buy a cow share and split it with friends. This is a great way to connect with local farmers and know where your food comes from. Now you probably want to know how to cook this delicious meal. Let’s get to it!

You need just a few ingredients.

  1. Ground beef, pork, chicken
  2. Marinara or whatever tomato sauce you have
  3. Peppers and onions – chopped
  4. Shredded cheese (I buy blocks of cheese and shred them myself)
  5. Pepperoni
  6. Salt, pepper and Italian seasoning

First you’re going to brown up the beef, then put it on a plate and add in chopped peppers and onions for about 5 minutes. Once they’re done, add the beef back in and then add tomato sauce. Let that simmer for a few minutes and then top with shredded cheese and pepperoni and bake for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden!

See?? I told you it was easy! Now you probably have most of this already in your pantry, so I hope you make it for dinner tonight. Soooo good, and flexible as you can add whatever usual pizza toppings you like. Don’t like pepperoni? Don’t add it! Like ham and pineapple? Add them!

Buying grains in bulk and milling my own flour at Buying grains in bulk and milling my own flour at home has been such a blessing and game changer in my kitchen as a homemaker! It provides us with more nutritious baked goods and it’s a great way to be self-sustainable. It does take a lot of learning to convert recipes to whole wheat, but it can be done! I buy my wheat berries and grain from @azurestandard (check out the link in my bio for their site) and I store them in 5-gallon buckets with gamma lids. Do you have any questions on home-milled flour?! Comment “grain mill” for the link to the mill I use and love!

Do you want a garden that is low maintenance, requ Do you want a garden that is low maintenance, requires little weeding, supports pollinators & the earth, and thrives on it’s own? Then consider permaculture for abundant and beautiful gardens this year! It’s very easy to set up this kind of garden and no heavy machinery or disrupting the earth is required. This can be done to fill up your raised beds too! 
Simply follow these steps: 
1. Layer cardboard, paper bags from the grocery store, or brown contractor paper 
2. Soak it with a hose and get it nice and wet 
3. Layer on hay, straw, leaves, dead grass, sticks, animal bedding (not hot) or pine needles
4. Top with a thick layer of compost. 
5. I add more water to really let it set in. It will be ready to plant in just a few weeks! When you do plant, it’s important to add a thick layer of natural mulch to also keep feeding the soil, cutting back weeds & requiring less watering. 

I had such great success with this method last year, that I decided to add another row this year and implement more permaculture techniques throughout my garden. 

What questions do you have about permaculture gardening?!
For so many years I bought broth at the store (I s For so many years I bought broth at the store (I still do buy some to keep in the pantry) but for the most part, learning to make my own broth has been such a game-changer for taste, flavor & less waste! I do mine in the insta-pot to set it and forget it, but you can use the stove-top or crock pot method too. 

INSTRUCTIONS 
1. Use about 2lbs of bones you have leftover, from ribs and drumsticks to whole chickens, all bones can be saved. I also make sure to get all the bones when we order our whole cow. I’ve even used chicken feet after helping a friend butcher chickens for a day, they were free for the taking! 
2. Add any veggie scraps if you have them. I save carrot peels, onion peels, leek tops, the little bits of celery you don’t usually use. I forage mushrooms and freeze them for broth too. All of that can be added. If you don’t have any saved, just add carrots, onions (or leeks) and some celery. 
3. Add 2 cinnamon sticks, peppercorns, any herbs you like and a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to pull out the gelatin of the bones. 
4. Fill up to the max fill line with water, set to 3 hours and then let naturally release. Sometimes I let it sit for 24 hours without opening to really let the flavor develop and get it very gelatinous. 
5. Strain off and use within 1 week. Or you can freeze it very easily, making sure to leave a little room for head space since it can expand in the freezer. 

Have you ever made your own broth?! I swear it’s not intimidating as it sounds and anyone can do it!
