Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes. Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid. My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows. Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability! I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner!

Dr.’d Up Confetti Pizza This isn’t a recipe so much as it is a method. This is easy and delicious if you need something fast, fresh tasting and vitamin rich. Oregano is a healthy ingredient. I’ve read that it has anti bacterial and disease fighting qualities.  Buy a frozen cheese pizza, the frozen disk of dough is the perfect base to stand up to a bunch of diced veggies without turning soggy or breaking apart. Using the tip of a butter knife, remove as much of the cheese as possible, letting it fall onto a large plate . (This cheese goes back on top, so don’t worry) Dice as many vegetables as you like. I usually use red or yellow bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, crushed garlic, fresh chopped basil, and any kind of tomatoes, cherry tomatoes cut in half work great for this. Drizzle the veggies with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add a big pinch of oregano and a pinch of basil. Toss and put it all on top of the pizza, piled high.  Put the cheese back on, along with any extra cheese you might want, like Parmesano Reggiano.  Bake according to package, but since there are so many extra ingredients, lower the oven temp by 20 degrees, so the crust doesn’t burn before the veggies cook.  And maybe cook for an extra 5-10 minutes or so, keep an eye on it. Be careful not to burn the roof of your mouth (like I did yesterday) when you take the first bite. Yum!

Cheesy Bruschetta    This photo is of cheesy bruschetta bread about to be popped back in the oven for toasting. I love tomato bread! This is easy, delicious and serves a lot of people for very little money. Slice French bread and toast in a 325 oven for 7 to 10 minutes until crisped. Mix 2 or 3 chopped tomatoes (or chopped cherry tomatoes), with salt and pepper, chopped fresh basil leaves, (or 1 tblsp dry basil), 1 smashed and chopped garlic clove and a drizzle of olive oil. Place a bit of the tomato mixture on top of each slice of toasted bread and then top with some grated cheddar, provolone and parmesan cheese. Increase the oven to 375 and bake until the cheese melts. This is delicious hot out of the oven or cooled to room temperature, so it’s good party food. Yum!

Whole Wheat Margie Pizza Margherita Pizza is the simplest and best pizza of all time! I love the fresh basil garnish! This one is a bit of a cheat, since I didn’t make the dough. Store bought dough is your good friend!   I’m still trying to come up with new ways to use up all my beautiful garden tomatoes. So, I tried home made Margherita Pizza for the first time. This was super easy and beyond delicious.  I bought the whole wheat pizza dough at Trader Joes. Someday, when I have nothing but free time, I’ll be making all sorts of things from scratch. Like dough. And growing my own organic wheat to make it with.  Boy, that will be an amazing day. Until then… Go to the store and buy some pizza dough, preferably whole wheat and organic. Or just buy what they have and what you like. Most stores have some sort of dough in the refrigerator section. Turn the oven on to 450. Remove dough from the fridge to get up to room temp. I cut the big thingy of dough in half and am saving the other half for tomorrow. I like my pizza thin anyway, so that worked out perfectly. Slice 2 tomatoes and placed them in a mesh colander with a sprinkle of salt. The reason I did this was to get some of the juice out, so it didn’t make my pizza all soggy.  While the tomatoes give off their juice, crush a big garlic clove onto a dish or plate, drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil onto the garlic, sprinkle with salt, pepper and a good sized pinch of Italian seasoning herbs. Set aside. Now gently stretch the dough on a pizza pan that has been buttered or sprayed with non stick spray. I went around and around holding it above the pan, cause my pizza pan has all these holes in it and i didn’t want the dough to smash through. I didn’t toss it in the air either. I might try that someday, today I wasn’t feeling so sporty.  Using a basting brush, spread the olive oil & garlic mixture over the dough all the way out to the edges. Sprinkle the dough with some mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Toss the colander of tomatoes gently to get rid of some more of that pesky juice. Top the pizza with the tomato slices and more cheese. Bake at 450 for 12 minutes till hot and bubbly.  Garnish with fresh chopped basil. Yummy Goodness!
