Margherita Pizza


I feel like I've been neglecting my blog lately so I'm trying to make amends with a photo of pizza. This was dinner a few nights ago and was so easy and so good. I'm cooking like crazy...just haven't been online much lately. Food Network Friday is temporarily on hiatus, but I hope to resume it at some point.

It makes me feel better just looking at that photo and hope it works for you, too. Look at all that basil and it even has bubbles in the crust! (It also makes me think that this is the summer I'm finally going to grill a pizza.....)

Oh! I'd sworn off FYH mozzarella a couple of years ago and happened to hear online that it was improved. It's true! That's what I used on that pizza and was wonderfully surprised by it's meltabilty and taste. If you haven't tried it lately, you might want to give it another chance, too.

Crafty Vegan, please email me! If I don't hear from you soon, I'll have to draw another winner.

Hope this pizza lets you know that I haven't forgotten you, Dear Reader.

Gorgeous! Thanks for the tip on FYH. I might try it again one day, but perhaps need a little more distance from dairy cheese before I give it a go.

Looking good! I've been telling my family I will make pizza but I've been putting it off. Now that I see yours, I better get a move on.

That pizza looks so delicious! I love pizza with melty cheez, it's so old school tasty.

Mmmm pizza!! And don't worry, my poor blog is being seriously neglected at the moment and I haven't even cooked anything much at all (except old easy favourites).

PB and Jess said...

I haven't had the FYH cheese in awhile either, so maybe I'll give it another shot. It certainly looks tasty in your pic :) Mmmm...

Kris said...

Wow, that pizza looks awesome. I haven't tried FYH in a couple of years, but maybe I'll give it another chance.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who gets too busy to blog sometimes. That looks amazing. You can't beat a good Margherita pizza. It's making me excited for tomato season.

Lisa, yeah, if it hasn't been long you're smarter to give it a good break.

dreaminitvegan, hope you are as pleasantly surprised as we were!

Jenn, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who is humored by the word verifications! How funny is 'wheese'?

Karma and Chelsea, thanks-- and I agree!

AllularP, margherita has always been a favorite with me. All that basil, how wrong can you go?

Mary, great minds, huh?

Mihl, Jodye and Cyn, pizza lovers unite!

Vegetation, maybe these mini blog breaks are good for us. Yeah, that's my story.

PB and Kris, give it another try!

Thanks, Melisser... it's not like it's Berlin food or anything! ;)

Kelly, yeah, the best in tomatoes really shine here. Ah...heirlooms!
