Good ol' oatmeal

This isn't exactly a "family recipe," but growing up in our house meant that you could top your oatmeal with chocolate chips... but only as many chocolate chips as the number of years old you were.

Heck, it's good to be 32! Although, some days I trade out my chocolate chips for raisins.

Popover Pizza... bringing it back!

At least a dozen years had passed since I last had this dish, until last night. My copy of the recipe is written on a Mickey Mouse card and it says "from the kitchen of Mommy." I wonder the origin of my Mom's recipe...

Popover Pizza, a la Mommy

Ingredients:
1 1/2 - 2 lbs ground beef
1 medium onion
15 oz jar Ragu thick and zesty
16 oz grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Brown and season beef and onion. Drain. Add Ragu to meat. Mix and put on bottom of 9x13 pan. Sprinkle mozzarella over meat. Beat egg, flour, and milk and pour over cheese layer. Sprinkle Parmesan on top. Cover with foil. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil and cook 10-15 minutes more or until top is brown.
