Peeled potatoes, mashed (can boil or bake- if boil you may need more flour because potatoes will have more moisture)

Micah's Bacon fettucchine with chicken
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
1 package bacon
1L half and half
1 Tbsp Garlic Plus spice
2 tsp Italian spice
1 package Fettucchine noodles
1-4 tsp corn starch
Directions:
1. Boil chicken until cooked. Cut into strips.
2. Cook bacon until crispy. Set on paper towel to drain.
3. Empty pan/electic skillet of grease*
4. Put half and half in pan and set temperature to low.
5. Add spices to half and half.
6. Start to boil noodles.
7. Crumble noodles and add to pan.
8. Add 1-4 tsp of cornstarch as needed until sauce thickens. Slowly add to avoid clumping.
9. Cook on low/medium heat (30 minutes or less).
10. Serve over noodles and chicken.
*(If you desire, you can cook some portabella mushrooms in bacon grease before emptying pan. Add mushrooms in with everything else at the end. I personally like to have chicken with portabella mushrooms on the side with some sauce poured over the top but you can mix it all together with the noodles too).

HOmemade Dough
Ingredients:
¾ cup water
1 Tbsp oil
1 Tbsp sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp dry milk
2 ¼ cups flour
1 tsp active dry yeast
Directions (For Pizza):
1. Combine all ingredients in order into bread maker pan.

4. Spread pizza sauce over dough and sprinkle with toppings.
5. Bake at 425F for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown around edges.
We use the same dough to make garlic bread- instead of putting sauce on the dough, brush with a mixture of 4 Tbsp melted butter, 2 Tbsp Italiano spice and 1 Tbsp Garlic Plus spice (this makes enough for 2 garlic bread). Top with a small layer of cheese and back at 425F for 15 minutes.
