Ham and cheese… pizza?
After I made the cordon bleu, I had leftover ham and Swiss cheese. Which for many people would mean delicious sandwiches in their future. But I’m not much for sandwiches, or cold foods in general (salads notwithstanding).*
So what to do?
Well, I have pizza crust. I can make pizza sauce.
What if I put the ham and some of the swiss onto the pizza, along with onions and peppers and pepperoni and mozzarella?
Outcome: Success!

* I would eat ham and cheese, warm on a crusty toasted baguette or as a panini on focaccia or ciabatta bread. But I didn’t have types of bread that would make those viable. So… pizza. Basically, turning it into hot food was the secret.

Kitchen-topia

Back I go, to the stove, with renewed purpose. Continue reading “Kitchen-topia”
Vacation from the kitchen
Every weekend since we all went into social distancing mode, I’ve whipped up a batch or two of something to get me through the week. Sometimes more than one something. Often too much something. Continue reading “Vacation from the kitchen”
