Eggplant Parmesan Pizza

We spent a lot of Saturday out of the house running errands at the mall, and a very exciting trip to the dog park! We used to take Lucy to the dog park in Redondo Beach all the time because we didn’t have a back yard, but Larry has never been to one. I was [...]

Kale Ricotta Pizza

Last night’s dinner was an idea I got from Amy at Eggs on Sunday. Pizza sounded like a delightful way to use up some of the kale we got from our CSA, and white pizza would be great because I had ricotta leftover from our sandwiches.
I sauteed the kale in olive oil along with some [...]

Tomato, I Think I Love You

I’ve never been a huge tomato fan. I like marinara sauce and tolerate ketchup, but to just eat raw tomato seemed pretty gag-inducing to me. The two we got in our CSA last week looked good and obviously I felt compelled to eat them, but I still didn’t expect to love them. But I did.
They [...]

Fresh & Flavorful

Tonight was like our Friday because I’m going out of town tomorrow to visit my family and attend a bridal shower. Obviously tonight’s dinner need to include the bounty from the CSA, but I also wanted pizza and cocktails! Like I said, it’s like Friday.
Our “first course” was a fresh, flavorful CSA salad [...]

Pizza and Bowling

Did you have a good weekend? Mine was a really nice mix of socializing and vegging out. It included some homemade pizza.
This was my favorite flavor combination thus far. It had a simple tomato sauce made with slightly pureed canned tomatoes, salt, red pepper flakes and oregano. My toppings were kalamata olives and roasted red [...]

World’s Ugliest Pizza

I was feeling tired last night after a 7 mile walk around the town with Brent, so I wanted dinner to be pretty low-key. We rented a movie from the RedBox and I threw together a pizza using the master recipe from Artisan Bread.
Kids, let this be a lesson to you — be very liberal [...]

Friday Night Pizza

Thank you all for your support about my current state of imbalance! I’m one of those people who love to have a plan. It makes me feel calmer, but at the same time, I need to realize that I can’t plan for everything so I need to adapt.
Well, I know I was just talking about [...]

Productive

I would say I’m about half done with my holiday gift prep. I have tomorrow afternoon and Friday morning devoted to finishing up. This afternoon, I did make a double batch of biscotti dough, but I used orange zest instead of lemon this time. Oranges were much cheaper at the store when I went shopping.

I [...]

Pizza, Pizza!!

Yes, that was a Little Caesar’s reference for those of you who got it. So for Friday night dinner this week, I made pizza. I have to say, Friday night is my number one “want to go out to dinner” time of the week. I’m just so glad the work week is over, a fact [...]

Pizza, Pizza!!

When I was younger, a very exciting thing to me was going to the Little Caesar’s for pizza, back when they still had the giant place with the huge jungle gym and art area inside. All the ones I’ve seen nowadays are just little take out places, but back in the day, Little Caesar’s was [...]
