What’s Cookin’ at Callie’s Cabin: Your pizza with pizzazz is ready
June 5, 2013 —Welcome to pre-summer and easy cooking. As the temperature soars into the 80s, the last thing I want to do is bake in the kitchen. It’s a time for picnic-type, outdoorsy sandwiches — hot or cold — fresh ones made with a bit of flair and in the comfort of your home. Instead of calling the pizza guy, why not try your hands at creating a pizza recipe that will wow you and yours?
Meet the veggie baguette pizza. I’m not talking ready-made pizza crusts, nor ones you quickly grab from the freezer. It’s about getting a baguette (like French bread, sort of) and getting creative with sauce and toppings.
More than a decade ago, when I made the “Grapes of Wrath” move from the Bay Area to South Shore, home-cooking wasn’t on my agenda. The first night away from my home, instead of baking amid boxes and confusion, I ordered a pizza and thought it would hit the spot. Not so much. After two calls tracking the pie to the first bite, I called up the now-long-gone chain the third time and said, “I’m not happy. The cheese is rubbery. The vegetables are overcooked. Where’s the sauce?” I got a credit and ended up going to the store and buying a frozen pizza that was nondescript.
This week, rather than ordering a pizza (I know where to go now), or going out to eat, I made the call to put together a baguette pizza all by myself. The cool thing is, it’s fresh, fast, hot, and there are no upsets. This recipe is 110 percent fail-proof.
Baguette Pizza
1 fresh French bread baguette
1/2 cup all-natural, tomato-and-basil pasta sauce
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup pepperoni, sliced (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Cut baguette into two halves (6 inches each) and place on baking pan. Spread with sauce, cheese and vegetables. Add seasoning. Bake at 400 degrees F till cheese melts and bread is toasted. Serves two.
This was the very first time I tried this quick-and-healthful recipe. I was pleasantly surprised. There’s something exciting about smelling oven-baked fresh bread, cheese and veggies of your choice, not to forget tasting the first crunch of a hot — really hot — baguette pizza. No phone calls needed. I teamed it with a DIY iced coffee and realized I’d changed my eating habits since my first summer living at Tahoe.
Motto: Rather than following the normal route to getting pizza, it can be a spiritual experience to do it yourself for the taste of it.

Foster, a past club president and past Kiwanis Division 45 lieutenant governor, participates in nearly every service project preformed by the club, including Coats for Kids, Drug Store Project, Historical Al Tahoe Cemetery cleanup and Bread & Broth, according to a press release.

What’s Cookin’ at Callie’s Cabin: Oh-so-sweet shortcakes
May 29, 2013 —Hello, shortcake! Pre-summer days are a time for the Southern classic, strawberry shortcake, a sweet biscuit dessert paired with strawberries. But shortcake can be so much more! Turning to blackberries, blueberries and even peaches scored in the Sierras can make this dish pop with a sublime taste.
I prefer the old-fashioned biscuits, commonly savored in the South. You can make country-style biscuits from scratch or bake biscuits using a mix in a box to get a homemade flavor, and a gift of convenience. The most popular shortcake is made with strawberries — a reasonable price at Tahoe for a late spring fruit. And the strawberry shortcake of choice is the kind with vanilla ice cream, and/or whipped cream. But the beauty of this fun-and-healthful food is that you can add other fresh fruits and give shortcake a new, improved look for the thrill of it.
Speaking of thrilling, a few years ago, I was in author research mode to write “The Healing Powers of Honey.” It was part of my plan to go to Reno during late spring and visit thousands of honey bees and their beekeeper. Once in the backyard amid bees flying hither and thither, I wasn’t spooked like a character in a sci-fi film. Perhaps it was the calm sporting dog walking about that put me in a comfort zone. Once back in the bee man’s house chock-full of honey, honeycomb, fresh fruit (he sold it at the farmers market), and candles, I was envious. I thought, “Maybe I’d be happier as an outdoors-y beekeeper instead of a sit down and write indoors author.” And I felt a bond to the hardworking bee: making honey and pollinating our favorite foods including fruits such as strawberries and peaches.
On the way back home, with a few jars of alfalfa honey to help me fight springtime allergies, I was grateful to the honey bee — a kindred spirit. And that night I made strawberry-peach shortcake. I used store-bought pound cake and drizzled honey on top of the fruit. Savoring each bite of the shortcake with memories of the manuka honey spa bath before my honey bee visit made the shortcake scrumptious.
A honey of a peach shortcake
1 cup pancake and baking mix
1/3 cup organic low-fat milk
2 tablespoons raw sugar
Raw sugar to sprinkle on top
2 cups fresh strawberries and peaches, sliced (or use blackberries and/or blueberries)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons honey
All natural vanilla ice cream and/or whipped cream (or try strawberry)
In a large bowl, combine baking mix, milk and sugar. Instead of kneading and cutting circles, you can use the rustic drop method and place four spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 15 minutes or till golden brown. Serve warm, sliced, and top with fruit (mixed with lemon juice and honey), ice cream and/or whipped cream. Serves 4 mini shortcakes or 2 medium-sized ones.
On Wednesday morning, I effortlessly whipped up a batch of biscuits and married fresh peaches and strawberries mixed with honey. I let it chill for about an hour. The warm shortcake with cold juicy fruit pieces and whipped cream layers was awesome; and the raw sugar crunch was a like a strawberry on top, making it one dessert to love.
Motto: A little extra effort and shaking things up with old and new ingredients can wow your senses bigtime.

Meeting to discuss Upper Truckee project
May 29, 2013 —The U.S. Forest Service will hold a meeting May 30 to answer questions and provide information about its Upper Truckee River restoration project.
The project area is located east of the Lake Tahoe Airport runway and west of the Washoan subdivision in the Tahoe Paradise residential area. The meeting will provide an overview of the activities that will occur this summer, and how these will limit public access during construction due to safety concerns associated with heavy equipment operation.
The Forest Service, in collaboration with the California Tahoe Conservancy, has completed environmental analysis and permitting for the project, which is part of a larger effort to restore the lower nine miles of the Upper Truckee River. It expects to break ground on its portion of the project in early June.
The Upper Truckee River Reach 5 Restoration Project will replace the existing stream channel with a new one that has the width, depth and curves of a more naturally functioning river. The goal is to create a channel that is more stable and connected to the adjacent floodplain, provides better aquatic habitat and supports a healthier meadow ecosystem. The completed restoration will reduce the amount of fine sediment that travels into Lake Tahoe.
The meeting will take place from 6-8 p.m. at the Forest Supervisor’s Office, 35 College Drive, South Lake Tahoe. For requests for reasonable accommodation for people with disabilities, contact Adrian Escobedo, Forest Civil Rights Officer, at 530-543-2758 or aescobedo02@fs.fed.us. For more information on the meeting, contact project leader Theresa Cody, 530-545-2057 or tlcody@fs.fed.us.
