I loved Garlic Chicken Spinach Pizza!! I really liked the cottage cheese dollops instead of tomato sauce. Just the right amount of garlic, and I used tender precooked chicken so less time in the kitchen. Rolling the prepared pizza crust thin, reduced the carbs significantly – and we like the thinner crusts on pizza anyway. It also gave us 12 servings, instead of the 6 it said on the package. So there was enough for two meals – and was just as tasty the second appearance. I was the nerdy kid (with my brother) who begged Mom to eat lunch at school on spinach days. In those days, we could trade food – and Jay and I got ALL the spinach we wanted! Unfortunately that trait did not pass to my sons. Bytes liked the pizza – but NOT the spinach. Oh well, more for me! Since we are ... [Read More]

Cheesy Beef Stromboli
Hearty. Cheesy delicious. Filling finger food. Meal in a crust. You'll love Cheesy Beef Stromboli. Plus it is quick and easy! Just beef and cheese - no tomato sauce. Each sentence: one more word than the last. Now it is time to talk about the food! :-) Brown the beef and let it cool. Unless you brown the beef as you buy it and toss it in the freezer in 2 cup packages. (Highly recommended! Especially if you buy on sale!) If you are using beef from the freezer, thaw in the microwave. Add egg and cheese. Grab your favorite cookie sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Crack open a roll of refrigerated pizza dough and unroll it on the cookie sheet. Pat out until it touches the edges. Spread meat filling over the dough, leaving about 3/4 inch uncovered on all the ... [Read More]
Thin Crust Fresh Veggie Pizza
Appetizers like this Fresh Veggie Pizza are often associated with football. In our neighborhood, you can always tell when the state college team is playing. If it’s a home game, the neighborhood is forlorn because everybody is downtown in the stands. If it’s televised, the suburban quiet is punctuated by roars from living rooms and garages painted in team colors. Today fans are celebrating a national championship. (Guess what colors those garage walls are painted! Buckeye, of course!) Whenever football is played, tables are laden with food. All kinds of food. To sustain the spectators who are putting so much of themselves into coaching, replaying and predicting the game. To soothe the wounds when the coach (one who actually gets paid), the player on the field, or the insert ... [Read More]
White Pizza
I zipped through a food and restaurant supply store, a place not on my usual circuit. A tractor beam locked on my cart and drew me right to the sample station. Straight from the entry to the table, the pull was irresistible and the smell was tantalizing! Or maybe it was because the station was right by the produce I wanted and it was past lunchtime! The sample lady handed me a tiny plate with a bit of white pizza. It was heaven! Pizza is not on our radar. If presented with pizza somewhere, we will eat and enjoy. But to intentionally order, make, or buy a pizza – attention goes elsewhere. Bytes was allergic to tomatoes for a long time, but now he will take a frozen pizza every few months, throw it in the microwave, roll and inhale it like a burrito. Not sure that counts, ...
