The Best Pizza in the Village

Mulligan greets you at the door!

Hands Down Mulligan's at Ponce Golf Course in Hot Springs Village is our favorite pizza place.  

Sometimes we eat in;
sometimes we take out;
sometimes we call & pick up.  

Wall of Bottles

If we get the large pizza, we will eat two or three pieces and then freeze the rest.  

A nice waitress gave us this tip: Freeze each piece individually and wrap in plastic wrap.  When you want pizza again, take a piece or two out; place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper*, and bake at 325/350 degrees until hot...cheese is melting.  The large pizza covers three meals for us.  Sometimes we will get a 10" pizza and finish it off if we aren't in the mood to go through the freezing routine:)

Remember: Don't eat the bones (crust). Save them for dessert! Dribble a little honey on them...

yummmmmy!

Easy Dessert with Pizza

This is the best idea when you want dessert with Pizza, but not too much.  

We first had it at the Pizza Cafe in Little Rock.  It won't work if you eat the bones/top crust of your pizza.  Save those bones!  Then, coat them with honey.  How easy is that? It is delicious.  


I do not know why all pizza restaurants don't provide the little honey packets.

Breakfast Time!

It's 6:30 a.m. and time for breakfast.  I have been trying to eat only protein for breakfast,saving my carbs for later in the day*. Probably not the way to do it...but there you go! My repertoire of egg recipes is depleted...
(*no Chuck has not bought into this regimen.)

 I have had poached eggs, scrambled eggs, an omelet,a frittata, a fried egg, and the easiest-a boiled egg.  I usually boil several eggs at a time...eat one and put the rest in the fridge.  I have loved cold hard-boiled eggs since I was little and hunted for Easter eggs.  

I punch a hole in the end of each egg that is the roundest, put the eggs in a pan, cover with water, set it on a burner, turn on the burner, and after 15 minutes the water should be boiling and the eggs would be done.  Then, I put them under cold water to stop them from cooking.

I now have a new method after buying a dozen of 'Great Day' Farmers Market at Walmart.  Inside the top of the carton were instructions on "How To Hard Cook An Egg".  I tried it and loved it and am now sharing the secret with you.

HOW TO HARD COOK AN EGG

Compliments of Great Day Farmers Market and Walmart-www.GreatDayFarms.Com

1. Place the eggs into a saucepan. (I still punch holes in the most round end of the egg.)  Fill with cold water (be sure the water covers the eggs by about two inches.)

2. Bring the water to full boil.  Once it's boiling, put a lid on the saucepan and remove it from the burner.  Let the eggs stand for 12 minutes still covered by the lid.

Note: I found that the more eggs I cooked the longer I had to let it stand. The first time I only had two eggs. Today I did six and found that the center was a little too soft.  If fact, next time I will let them boil another minute or two and then let them set for 14 minutes.

3.  Place the eggs under cold running water until they are completely cooled.  Softly tap egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. (I start from end with puncture in it.) Continue peeling until the eggshell is completely gone.

Additional Tips:
From Great Day:

• Always pour cold water into the saucepan to keep the eggs from overcooking
• Refrigerate your hard-boiled eggs if they are not being eaten right away (hard boiled eggs still in the shell can be stored for one week). I mark ends with 'HB' and date!
• If your hard boiled eggs are tough to peel, gently roll them in your hands to crack the entire shell.
