White Pizza With Corn

 
I saw this recipe in a recent Food Network magazine and thought I would give it a try.  I actually marked SEVERAL recipes in this particular edition, so you may see more.

 
Anyway, this one looked super simple to make, and it was so I tried it first.

Verdict:  DELICIOUS!!  This tasted even better than I expected.  I am so disappointed when I try a new recipe and it isn't all that great (or worse, it is bad), but luckily, this one was a keeper.

I revised it a bit to make it a bit easier for me.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any fresh basil, I wish I had because it would have been even better! 

WHITE PIZZA WITH CORN

SERVES: 4

1 Package of refrigerated Pillsbury Classic Pizza Dough

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

1 clove garlic, minced ounces fresh 

8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1cup raw corn kernels (I used 1/2 package Bird's Eye Fire Roasted Corn Kernals)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Kosher salt

Fresh basil, for topping

 

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.  Place parchment paper on baking sheet.

2. Open pizza dough and unroll onto parchment paper.

3. Drizzle the dough with olive oil and rub into the dough.

4.Top with the garlic, mozzarella, corn kernels and Parmesan.

5. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt.

6. Bake the pizza for 10 minutes at 400F, until edges of crust are lightly brown

7. Top with fresh basil

 

Man, oh, man, it was good.  I saw another recipe on Food Network's website that included grape tomatoes - that would be a great topping and I found yet another one that included chopped smoked bacon.  I am sure that would be good too, but I rather like the fact that it is a vegetarian pizza so I probably wouldn't add bacon, but I can see how that would be good.

 

Prayer Shawl # 8

I finished another prayer shawl.  When I bought Lion Brand Scarfie yarn on clearance at Michael's, there were 2 different colors that were on clearance, and I got them both.  I enjoyed the pattern I used with this yarn on the last shawl, so decided to stick with what worked.

The pattern, called Shell Shawl, calls for 3 skeins, but I only use 2.  I can't imagine how huge it would be with 3 skeins!!  

The color of this yarn was Rose / Dusty Rose.  Like with the last one, it may not normally have been a color that would have "spoken" to me, but I'm glad it was on clearance, and I got it because it turned out to be so lovely.

I really like the detail you can see on the back of this shawl.

My kitty cat, Tarzan wanted to have his photo taken too, so I obliged. Isn't he a cutie? 💖

Project Life ~ March 2024

I can’t believe a fourth of the year is already over.  Time does fly, especially when you get to my age.

This month, I went to another premier of the Indigo Girls’ documentary “It’s Only Life After All” - it has finally been released in theaters!  We talked to the filmmaker and she interviewed us on video for possible DVD extras when it is released.  Amy and Emily were also there to answer some questions and perform a couple of songs.

My friend, Don, asked me to see Post Modern Jukebox with him at Symphony Hall.  It was fun, people dressed for the show (I had no idea), they sing modern day songs but in a different genre. For instance, they might sing a Spice Girls Song, but in the style of the Lennon Sisters.  We both really enjoyed it.

My friend Susan came for a week long visit and we went to see Beetlejuice, which was so good and so funny! Also, my little kitty turned 4 this month - which is so, so hard to believe!

A church member, who is well known in Georgia for building homes, John Weiland, has an incredible art collection and has set up an art gallery.  All the art is related to homes.  He has decided to  open his art gallery to the public and luckily, as someone he knows, I got was able to go with some other church members for a sneak preview.

A couple of less than happy things.  My poor little kitty niece, Bonnie Faye, was one sick little baby.  She had to spend time in the ER with overnight hospital stays.  She still isn’t 100% back to her pre-sickness self but she is doing much better, praise GOD!

Also, my friends Brian and Woody have officially moved to Beaufort, NC.  I am so happy for them, but boy am I going to miss my fellas!  I just can’t imagine what is is going to be like without them around.
