White Pizza - Vegetabes
Snowed in yet again..
I was craving something crunchy, gooey, hot, and yummy.
Maybe a "little" healthy too :)
I looked up a recipe for Pizza dough.
The recipe can be found here. I did bake the crust for 15 minutes before adding my toppings.
(For the record: I wasn't crazy about this recipe for pizza dough.)
Now for the toppings.. YUM! :)
1 1/2 Cup frozen Broccoli Florets, cooked and drained
1 Large Tomato seeded and chopped
2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella
2 Tbs Garlic Oil (3 cloves minced garlic + 2tbs oil)
8 Tbs Ricotta Cheese
To make garlic oil sautee garlic in a pan over medium heat, once the garlic is cooked remove from heat.
Brush garlic oil onto pizza crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella over pizza crust followed by the broccoli and tomato. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella.
Bake in oven 30 minutes or until pizza is golden brown.
About 5 minutes before pizza is finished dollop Ricotta in sections.
Enjoy :)

No Shopping Sunday
Do you have a silly law in your County? Or maybe a rule?
Well, I moved to Bergen County, NJ three years ago.
There's a Blue Law in my county.
When I heard most stores were closed on Sundays I was shocked.
I work weekdays and my days to shop are usually Saturday-Sunday.
I will never forget needing a pair of gloves, but "no we can't sell that to you.
REALLY?
Meaning if I go to a supermarket and they sell socks, I cannot buy them.
I can buy some milk and bread, but I can't buy socks.
Okay I understand that all the department stores are closed, but
why can't I buy what is being sold in a store that is open?
If you go to Nation Wholesale Liquidators for instance, they're open.
But all the electronics, clothing, and furniture are blocked off.
Sorry this store can only sell you food on Sundays.
Of course you can travel to another county, odds are they'll be packed.
I'm not the only one who needs something.
Been there done that.
Kinda stinks.
Any laws in your area?
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
The other day I tried one of these cookies and had to make them.
So glad I did.
Kudos to Chef Anette for sharing! :)
I love the recipe, and to be honest... I usually hate Oatmeal Raisin cookies.
This recipe is a keeper!!
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Source: Culinary Institute of America
Makes 48 cookies
Flourless cooking spray for greasing
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups tightly packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
5 cups rolled oats
1 1/4 cups dark raisins Maldon Salt for top of cookies
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer use paddle attachment to cream together the butter, sugars, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth and a light texture, approx. 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each one. Add the dry ingredients on low speed. Then fold in the oats and raisins. Chill dough for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into four and roll each section into parchment paper to make a foot long log. Refrigerate until firm enough to cut. -30 mins-
Slice logs into cookies, sprinkle with a tiny pinch of Maldon salt and bake 2 inches apart. Bake 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
