EwE - Asparagus and mozzarella pizza

-
This was my pick this week for our Eating with Ellie group.  I just finished eating it for my lunch and I loved it!  Today is my first day after ending my radiation treatments and I am so excited to have my life back!  It was fun to actually go to the grocery store and purchase what I needed for this pizza.  Ellie did it again as this was simple to make and delicious.  The ingredients are just pizza crust, mozzarella, asparagus, parmesan and some fresh basil on top.  I might have needed a few more asparagus spears on there.  As I was eating it, I kept thinking some red pepper flakes cooked in it might have been good as well.  But it was delicious just this way!  I also made a second pizza for my lunch for tomorrow and added some tomatoes to it.  If you want to see what the others in the group did with this recipes, check out this link.  ewellis.wordpress.com

So happy you are over the radiation and getting your life back. Also so happy you picked this recipe as we loved it. I had nice big fat asparagus fresh from my CSA basket and I used the 12 she said and added a couple more, it worked so well to cut it in half like that so the asparagus cooked all the way through in the 15 minutes. The tomato pizza looks wonderful as well, tomatoes and cheese and asparagus...oh my!! :-)

This was a good pick, Peggy. I would NEVER have thought of putting asparagus on a pizza. Loved it.

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-

This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes.  At this point, they are perfe

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to
