The past week was not my week….first off I had only one day off within 9 days & its been dead .Then my cell phone fell and the screen cracked
I didn’t have insurance so of course there is nothing they could do. I had to go to my old blackberry phone and already miss all my apps/touch screen/ easy access to internet/ easier to read texts. I am getting a new phone though hopefully Monday!
The next thing that happened was the atm card at the bank didn’t give back my card and ate it! What a pain!!!
Anyway the past week I did make some great dinners.
First off is another tomato soup Tuscan Tomato Soup with White Beans & Pancetta.
I thought it could use another can of beans , I had a can of Navy Beans that went well with the other beans. I only found thin sliced pancetta, it was ok ( and salty) . If using thing sliced I’d only use one slice per bowl and cut it up. I think thicker , choppedup like the recipes calls for would have been better. Next time!
Next is the Black Bean & Corn Stuffed Pepper . I came across a picture of this dish and knew I’d use taco seasoning, when I read the recipe I’m glad I decided that because I don’t care for cumin that much/cayenne pepper .It was reallllly good. I served it with cous cous and 2 garlic & herb chicken.
I also made Cauliflower pizza. No.. not cauliflower on pizza. Pizza made of cauliflower. When I came across and started making this one. I wasn’t really sure how it would come out but I like trying new things so I gave it a go. Let me tell you, I prefer this pizza over regular pizza. Its sooooooo good. I topped mine with pizza sauce, spinach, turkey pepperoni & some mushrooms.
I came across 3 recipes, one included ricotta and since I knew the pizza might not work I didn’t want to add something like that on top.
I combined the herbs from both.
I used garlic, parsley, oregano, pepper, garlic salt. The one bad thing about sharing what I make is I don’t measure anything..I just put what I think it right for the dish and hope it turns out good
If you don’t have a ricer, its ok I just steamed the cauliflower and pulsed it in a food processor. Wahlah In one of the recipe links, someone even mentioned grating it on a cheese grater. Play around with it.
Here is the the mixture plopped on the baking sheet:
Spread out mixture then bake for 12-20 minutes, brush some olive oil on top to get golden brown
add your toppings then put in broiler until cheese melts: ENJOY!
Skinny Mozzarella Sticks turned into gooey cheesy flat sticks haha
I was trying to type up this post and thought I had more time and they ended up oozing out but still tasted great. I didn’t make them all and kept an eye on them and the other one turned out better ( could be they were in the freezer longer too) I’m making the rest tomorrow so we will see.
Here is what it turned into:
Even if I didn’t get this one down I’d still eat these
