The Pizza dough

3 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2 1/4 tsp yeast
2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 water room temperature
3 tbsp butter melted
1 tsp + 3 tbsp olive oil

The Pizza Sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 onion minced
1/4 tsp pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 cloves garlic minced
1 can crushed tomatoes (no salt)
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp chopped basil

The Toppings

1 lb Italian sausage
1 lb shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

The Pizza Dough

Use a mixer with a dough hook, combine flour, cornmeal, yeast, sugar and salt on low speed until blended. Add water and melted butter. Mix until combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again until well blended. Increase speed to medium and knead until the dough is shiny and smooth and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. About 4 to 5 minutes. Coat the sides and bottom of a large mixing bowl with 1 tsp of olive oil. Transfer pizza dough to the clean, oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let the rest at room temperature until nearly doubled in size. About 1 hour. Adjust the oven rack to the lowest position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Turn the dough out onto a clean counter top. Roll the dough into a 15 by 12 in rectangle. Using an off-set spatula, spread the softened butter over a dough leaving a 1/2 in border along the edges. Starting at the short end, tightly roll the dough into a cyclinder. With the seam-side down, flatten the dough into a 18 by 4 in rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half crosswise. Working with one half at a time, fold the dough into thirds like a letter. Pinch the seams together to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and transfer the balls to the oiled bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise for 45-50 min.

While the dough rises, cook Italian sausage in non stick skillet. Break sausage up into chunks and saute until cooked well. Drain and set aside.

The Pizza Sauce

In the medium saucepan over medium heat, combine olive oil and butter. Add onion, crushed red peppers (optional), Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until onion is softened for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until frequent for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and sugar and bring to simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until sauce has reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and add basil and olive oil. Cover and set aside.

Coat 2 9inch cast iron skillets with 2 tbsp of olive oil each. On the clean counter top, roll one of the dough balls into a 13 in round disk about 1/4 in thick. Roll the dough loosely around the rolling pin and transfer to prepared skillet. Unroll the dough and lightly press into the pan, make sure you work it in the corners and 1 in up the sides. If the dough resists, allow it to rest for 5 minutes before trying again. Repeat with the remaining dough ball. Sprinkle each pizza with shredded mozzarella. Divide the sauce between two pizzas, spreading with the back of the spoon until evenly distributed over the cheese layer. Divide the cooked sausage between two pizzas, scattering to cover the sauce. Top with Parmesan cheese. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 20-30 minutes. If over-browning, tent the pizza with foil until cooked through. Remove pizza from oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy

This weeks meal was a long process, but fun to make. George has been wanting to make a Chicago Style Pizza for quite a long time, so we are happy we finally had the chance.

Mom- George is also starting to come back to feeling like himself again. School is back so schedules are on routine again, the sun is out longer, and we are all looking forward to spring. All of these things help everyone’s mood, and especially help George get back on track. Although, we are still struggling with coming up with things to do. February is not a very exciting month, so we struggle with boredom.

George- That’s true. But, the Oscars are this Sunday, so that’s something to look forward to.

Mom- Yes. George LOVES the Oscars! He is our movie guy, so this is kind of his “Super Bowl”. That’s why working at the movie theater is so perfect for him. We know we are very lucky that this opportunity was available to him.

(Honestly, we are so happy that George is lucky enough to have a job. Any job. Even if it is just a couple of days a week. It makes him feel needed. And to be honest, most adults who are like George are not as lucky as he is. I can’t necessarily blame anyone for this. It is hard to find productive jobs for people who have a difficult time with focus, have sensory issues, and other complications that make our world difficult to navigate. It is not the employers fault (most of the time). it is not society’s fault. It is just the way the world is. Is it fair? No, but we all know that life isn’t fair. So, instead of complaining about it, we have to get creative. We have to create something out of nothing so that these individuals can find a purpose in their life, and feel successful in what they do. It really is easier said then done.)

George, do you like your job?

George- Yes, I do. My favorite part is listening to the end credits in the theaters as I clean. But I am hoping to get into the theater some day.

Mom- What do you want to do in the theater?

George- I like acting. I pace and talk a lot. I think the theater would be a good use of this.

Mom- Well, you know that acting takes a lot more then just pacing and talking.

George- Yeah, but it would be nice to try. I’m not going to lie, I have learned some acting from all of the movies I have seen.

Mom- But acting in the theater is a little different.

George- I know. But, but acting in a local theater might help me get to the movies.

Mom- So, your dream is to make it to the big screen.

George- Yeah. Not like an Oscar winning actor. That would be too much. If I get as famous as Brad Pitt, that would be too crazy. Being in a horror movie would be enough for me. Or on TV

Mom- But, we have talked about how nearly impossible that is for anyone.

George- Yeah, but as they say, “you don’t know unless you try”.

Mom- True. And I don’t want to be a “Debbie-Downer”, but right now we have to figure out how to get you into a local theater. One step at a time.

George- Yep. At the book fair this April, I am going to look for a play script, so I can practice.

Mom- That is a great idea!

Mom, here. These are the things that we talk about…a lot. George has high hopes for himself in the entertainment field. This is great, but a lot falls on us, the parents. Right now, we struggle with trying to figure out exactly how we would even get him to and from play practices, here in our area. And, we want to tell him to reach for the stars, just like we tell our other children, but there is just so much more to consider when it comes to George’s dream. So for now, we get creative. We work on what we can. And we pray for the best.

This past week, George wasn’t feeling so well. We had chosen a meal, went shopping, and just as we started to prep to cook, it hit him. George got a “bug”. For this reason, George had to sit out on the prepping of the meal. This is, of course, disappointing, but it happens. But, the meal was so good, we will be making it again, and next time, it will be George cooking.

January is always a tough month for George. Why, we aren’t sure. But our guess is it is a combination of reasons. After the excitement (and all of the anxiety that comes with it) of the holidays, maybe this is the “down time”, where all of the craziness catches up. Maybe it’s the recovery of schedules being so off the month before. Maybe it is winter catching up. We really have no way of knowing why, but we do know that January is just a tough month, and we do our best to prepare for it. But, we never know what it is going to bring. January was the month that George had his “stroke” at just 2 months old. January was when his seizures started at the age of 10. January was when he had his first respiratory “episode”. It is also the time when George’s focus is the most difficult. For some reason, even the simplest tasks can be a big challenge for George. For this reason, I am writing this entry pretty much solo. He did type up the recipe. And, I am trying to get some participation from him, too. But, in George’s world, he doesn’t always notice when he is having an “off” day. In fact, the more “off” he is, the more difficult it seems for him to be aware of everything, even how he is physically feeling. When he gets sick, like he did last week, he wasn’t able to feel the his body was not feeling well. He can’t sense that his stomach is upset, and he may be getting sick soon. He just goes about his business, which usually means, more than normal (this is usually our only sign that something is going on), self-stimming (he talks to himself, hums, paces, rubs his head, etc.) until it is almost too late. He will continue to eat, even if his stomach can’t keep it down. This is very challenging for everyone in the house. But I have to think it is hardest on George.

George is now feeling better, but still seems to have a case of the “January’s”. Just another reason to look forward to spring.

Mom- George, we know you weren’t feeling well last week. but, are you feeling better now?
George- Yes, I am feeling better.
Mom- Did you feel like you were off last week? What is it like when you don’t feel well?
George- I have no idea.
Mom- You can’t describe it to us?
George- Not really.
Mom- Ok. Is there anything you want to say to the world.
George- No, I don’t have anything to say. I’m good right now.

Yep, that is kind of George’s way of saying he is not into this today. Maybe next week, we will be more talkative. Thanks for reading.

Meatballs
3/4 lb ground beef
1lb ground pork
1 large onion, grated
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
4 Tbsp flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground sage
1/4 – 1/2 cup half & half or whole milk
Butter

Gravy
3/4 – 2 Tbsp drippings from meatballs
Butter (if needed) 3Tbsp flour
1 – 1 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
1Tbsp beef boullion
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all of the meatball ingredients together, adding the half & half last, until well incorporated. you want your mixture to be a little sticky. You won’t actually be rolling these into balls. (They are more like little patties.)
Melt the butter and drop the mixture by spoonfuls into the pan. Press down a little to flatten. Cook until browned on one side. Then flip and cook until they are cooked through.
When the meatballs are done, remove them onto a plate, and keep them warm. Meanwhile, start on the gravy. Add the flour to the pan of dripping (adding more butter if necessary). Stir until you get a roux. Add the cream and whisk until your gravy has thickened (Adding more cream/milk as necessary) Finish by adding the beef boullion, salt and pepper. Add the meatballs to the gravy and keep warm.

Brunede Kartoffler (Caramelized potatoes)
20 oz small potatoes
3 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp sugar

Boil the potatoes until they are just done. You want them to be firm, not mushy. Whne they are done, drain them, and cool. Then peel the skins off of them by hand.
Next, melt the butter in a fry pan. Add the sugar, stirring constantly, until it turns golden. Then add the potatoes and stir until the caramel sticks to the potatoes.

Mom– Well George, what should we talk about?
George- The holidays are almost over. And there seems to be a lot going on in the world right now.
Mom- What kind of things are you thinking about?
George– Australia, Iran, possibly another World War
Mom- Do all of these things cause anymore anxiety for you?
George- Not really, for some reason. It just has me thinking.
Mom- What does it have you thinking about?
George- The chaos. I don’t remember what happened in 9-11. I was only 5.
Mom- Do you think this could be like it was when 9-11 happened?
George- Possibly. It doesn’t bother me too much, but one time at the dinner when everyone was talking about it, it made me nervous thinking that the world might end.
Mom- But, you know that the world won’t end, right.
George- But you never know. But, I don’t think about it too much.

Mom- Let’s talk about something a little less scary. You got a new pet.
George- I really wanted another dog, because I am a dog person.
Mom- But you didn’t get a dog, did you?
George- Sadly, no. I got a cat, instead.
Mom- Why did you get a cat instead?
George- Because you said only two dogs in the house. That’s enough. And my focus isn’t enough for a puppy right now.
Mom- But, maybe some day.
George- But, my cats name is Tibbs, and he is basically a snuggle buddy. He’s been eating food at night because our puppy eats his food in the day. He’s pretty big, too. I think we got me a cat because I kept bonding with the barn cats.
Mom- Tibbs is really good to you, isn’t he?
George- Yes he is.

Mom- George has been kind of struggling with quite a few things lately. With the holidays comes a break in the regular daily routine. In addition to that, he lost his furry buddy, Abu. And the world news hasn’t been doing any of us much good lately. But, we are starting to get back on track. George’s brain is slow to process everything, but once it starts, there is no stopping it. I guess you could say it turns into an obsession. He just can’t seem to turn his brain off. Although, he is starting to (ever so slowly) move on from losing Abu, he still struggles. Tibbs is helping with that, because I think what George missed most was having a warm, fuzzy little friend to sleep in his bed with him. (Tibbs is PERFECT for this)

As far as what is going on in the world, George will ocasionally mention it, but I really don’t think he fully understands it all. Who does, really? But I think it’s the everyday kind of things that keep George’s brain going on a constant run. Things that he is personally experiencing. Things that are in “His world”. And when he did get nervous about the world events, it was when he though it may bring disruption to his world, like having a brother serve in the military during a war. I am grateful that George doesn’t get too obsessed with the world’s events. He has enough trouble getting his brain to slow down enough with with just the things going on around him directly. I can’t imagine what it would be like if he took on everything going on beyond his life.

Since the holidays are quickly approaching, George decided he wanted to make some special holiday treats, instead of a main meal. So today, he made Mountain Cookies. It was a three step process, so it took majority of the afternoon. But, they were fun to make, and are very good.

Mom– “George, why did you decide to make these cookies?”

George– “I was looking for a recipe, and they seemed interesting. They just caught my eye.”

Mom– “So, we had a few things on our minds this week, huh George? Like how your anxiety can make you feel.”

George- “Yeah, it can make it hard to concentrate on things.”

Mom– “Like what?”

George– “Like certain things in the back of my mind, that I can’t stop thinking about. Like’what if I were born in another year, and not 1996?’ When would I be born? What would my life be in like in 1996 if I were born at a different time? If I were born in the 1800’s, how hard would life be?”

Mom– “Right, and you know that you can never change when you are born, right?”

George– “Right. Because that is when I was born. I know you can’t change when things happen, like when Abraham Lincoln was born. But it was still bothering me, even though I know it can’t happen. I just keep thinking ‘what if’.”
But I am glad I was born when I was because I really like the technology and entertainment now a days. And, if I were born earlier, with all of my medical things when I was little, I may not have survived. Because they had the technology to help me.

I also wonder what life will be like in 2050. I wish I could live to see 2100. But I can’t wait to see what technology there is in 2050.”

Mom- “That’s a lot to be thinking about. Is this the kind of stuff that your brain is focused on?”

George– “Not always. Sometimes it’s other things.”

Mom– “Do you just get thoughts that can’t get out of your head?”

George– “Sometimes, yes.”

Mom– “Does it feel like your brain goes really fast when you are thinking of these things?”

George– “Yes. Sometimes it feels like my brain is always running fast.”

This was enough for George today. This weeks struggle wasn’t a new one. He seems to get “stuck in his head”. That seems to be his biggest struggle. Sometimes it looks like OCD. Sometimes it looks like ADHD. But, it always looks to be exhausting. But, George is constantly working on making his life as positive as possible. He never feels “too tired”. And I am grateful for that.

It’s been a while since we last wrote… or cooked. Thanksgiving through things off a bit, and the week before that was just sort of a tough one, with George losing his best friend, Abu (his dog). But, we are back with a delicious new recipe!

Mom– “George, I know you had a rough couple of weeks. Is there anything you want to say about Abu?”

George– “He was my best… I just loved that he was sleeping in my bed with me. And I miss taking him for walks. But now I give the other two dogs lovin’s.”

Mom– “Even though we are still sad about Abu, we are trying to focus on the good things.”

George– “Like Christmas, and Sadie and Winnie. Sadie can really sense sadness. She comes and lays on me when I am sad. It makes me feel a little better.”

Mom– “With the holidays coming, do get excited or anxious?”

George– “I kind of feel like a little kid, waiting for Christmas morning. I look forward to opening presents, like everyone else.”

Mom– Do you think you have more troubles with focusing this time of year?

George– “Sometimes.”

Mom– “I see you’re wearing your Santa hat.”

George– “As soon as Thanksgiving is over, I get festive. Actually, as soon as Halloween is over, I take out the Christmas cd’s and listen to them before I go to sleep. It just gets me in the mood for Christmas”

Mom– “Does the Christmas spirit make you happy?”

George– “Of course”

With the holidays coming our schedules can get a bit busy, but we are going to try and stick with our schedule a bit better. But, there may be some weeks that instead of a meal, we may be making special treats. It will all depend on what George is in the mood for. Stay tuned.

Bacon-Cheddar Skillet Cornbread

6 strips bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 large egg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp vegetable shortening
3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for topping
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. cook the bacon in a 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat., stirring occasionally, until crisp. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined plate and wipe the skillet clean. Set the skillet aside.

Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking powder,and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk milk, and egg in a medium bowl, then whisk in baking soda. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and stir with a fork until combined.
Put 1/4 cup shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted. Slowly add the melted shortening to the batter and stir with a spoon until just combined. fold in the chives , 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, and all but a few Tbsp of the bacon.

Heat the remaining 2 tbsp shortening in the cast iron skillet over medium heat until melted. Pour the batter into the skillet (it should sizzle)and spread to even out the surface. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and cook undisturbed until the edges just begin to set, about 1 minute.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is golden brown, the cornbread is cooked through, and the edges are crisp, 20 – 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Top with chives and remaining bacon.

Mom – Tonight, we made Louisiana Dirty Rice and Bacon-Cheddar Skillet Cornbread. Another delicious meal.

George- Although, it was a little zippy for me.
I just got a new tv for downstairs, because the one down there is getting shot, and the buttons don’t work. And I had to get a new Blu Ray because the remote was all chewed up. And mom said it was a cheaper blu ray anyway.

Mom- George is pretty excited to get his new TV set up.

George- And tonight the cats tried to follow me from the barn. They sure do love me.

Mom- All animals seem to love you, George.

George- I do love animals, especially dogs and Yoda.

Mom- Yoda is George’s pet goat. Why do you love animals so much, George?

George- Animals are just something to keep me from being lonely.

Mom- Are you lonely a lot?

George- Sometimes. Sometimes I like to be alone, but sometimes I miss my friends in school. But, it isn’t too bad because I have my family.

Mom- Awww. Do you think you that it’s hard to make friends because of your autism?

George- Yeah, kind of. Because I am so in my mind that I have a hard time talking to people.

Mom- And that makes it hard to meet new people?

George- Yeah. I think I am done. I want to go set up my new TV. We’ll write more next week.

Mom- If you have any questions for George, please feel free to ask. We want everyone to understand a little more about life as George lives it.
Thanks for tuning in.

We were trying to figure out how to write this blog, George and I (mom), and we thought that maybe the best way would be to write it as our conversations go. (And don’t worry, George’s recipes will be on the bottom of our blogs.)

Mom: Why did we decide to start this whole “George Meal”?

George: So we could have something to do. And I just like cooking and trying new things.

Mom: Actually, we decided that this would be a fun way for George to learn new things, and work towards a little more independence. George, why do you need help with gaining more independence?

George: Because I have focus issues because of my autism. Cooking is something I am interested in, and I am kind of good at it. Although, I know I need someone by me, so that is why you are there (mom).

Mom: Does it bother you that you need help?

George: A little. I feel like I have so many limitations, it sometimes feel like I’ve been held back in life. I wish I could travel, and have big careers.

Mom: I know it is hard to be limited, especially when you have big dreams. But, we always try and remember that everyone has limitations, but if you work hard, you can still shoot for what you want. Some just have to work harder then others.

Some of our blogs may be longer then others, depending on how George is feeling. I hope you will follow us, and get an idea as to what the world is like for someone with autism, and also getting to see some of George’s dishes he chooses. (He has come up with some pretty good ones so far).

Salisbury Steak
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt

Meanwhile, in bowl, blend flour with the rest of the soup. Whisk until smooth. Combine ketchup, water, Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder. Pour over patties, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, until cooked through.

My name is George, and I am autistic. I have started to make meals with my mom, and we have had people ask for recipes… so I made this blog.

This blog is for my recipes, and to give a little view of what it’s like to live in our world with autism. Once a week I will post a recipe we made. I will also occasionally post about things I am dealing with, good and bad.
